  • Patent number: 11744304
    Abstract: To configure a pad so as to be gentle to the skin, to prevent stretching and/or tearing of the front surface sheet, and to not reduce liquid permeability and air permeability. [Solution] An underarm sweat pad in which an absorbent is interposed between a front surface sheet and a back surface sheet and which is used folded in two at a folding line and attached to the inside of the axillary portion of a garment. The front surface sheet is composed of a hydrophilic cellulose fiber. Adhesive regions, in which an adhesive for bonding the front surface sheet to the absorbent is applied, are formed as stripes that are parallel to the folding line and are spaced at intervals in the direction that is orthogonal to the folding line.

  • Patent number: 11324644
    Abstract: An absorbent article, where on a skin side of a laminated part of a side sheet 7 and a liquid permeable front-surface sheet 3, a side emboss that sinks in toward a non-skin side and is made by fusing the side sheet 7 and the liquid permeable front-surface sheet 3 is formed. The side emboss 10 is comprised of a plurality of large embosses 11, where 11 is formed to have a relatively larger area that are arranged to align linearly along the longitudinal direction of a sanitary napkin 1 with equal intervals, and between the adjacent large embosses 11, 11, a plurality of small embosses 12, 12 . . . are formed to have a relatively small area that are arranged in a wave-like shape along the longitudinal direction of the sanitary napkin 1 with intervals, separated from the large embosses 11.

  • Patent number: 11090201
    Abstract: An absorbent article that prevents back flow and that uses cotton fibers in the surface sheet. The absorbent article is an incontinence pad having at least a medium volume for absorbing at least 20 cc of urine. A surface sheet is formed by coating, with a water-repellent, a spunlace non-woven fabric comprising 100 wt % of cotton fibers. The skin-facing surface side is provided with: a plurality of protrusions that extend along the longitudinal direction of the incontinence pad and are formed with gaps therebetween in the widthwise direction; and a plurality of recesses that extend along the longitudinal direction of the incontinence pad and are formed between adjacent protrusions. The recesses are formed thinner than the protrusions. A plurality of openings, which penetrate the incontinence pad from the front to the rear thereof, is formed along the recesses in at least a section (H) corresponding to an excretory opening.

  • Patent number: 10952911
    Abstract: To provide an absorbent article that uses a cotton fiber in a front-surface sheet, prevents rebounding, improves an absorption speed, and reduces a diffusion range of urine in the front-surface sheet. An incontinence pad 1 having a medium or larger volume that absorbs 20 cc or a larger volume of urine is provided. A front-surface sheet 3 is a spunlace nonwoven fabric made of 100% cotton fiber by weight, is coated with a water repellent agent and has many front-face/back-face penetrating openings 10 in a region containing a part corresponding to an excreting hole. The absorber is made of a pulp fiber that does not contain synthetic fiber and a superabsorbent polymer, a basis weight of the pulp fiber being 75 to 300 g/m2, a basis weight of the superabsorbent polymer being 85 to 185 g/m2, and a ratio of the pulp fiber and the superabsorbent polymer being pulp fiber:superabsorbent polymer=70 to 30% by weight:30 to 70% by weight.
