Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a method of reducing the odor of urine; and an article functioning to reduce the odor of urine. The present invention relates to the method comprising using a compound(s) reactive with aldehydes to thereby reduce the urine odor. Moreover, the present invention relates to the article, especially one for body fluid absorption, which functions to reduce the odor of urine by having compounds reactive with aldehydes to be present in absorption articles. As the compounds reactive with aldehydes, organic amines, organic amine salts, compounds producing organic amines by the reaction with discharges, organic amines, amide compounds, and compounds having a mercapto group can be used.

Abstract: Disclosed is an antibacterial sheet including an antibacterial composition and a sheet-like base member with the antibacterial composition attached thereto. In the antibacterial sheet, a composition including an antibacterial agent and a water-soluble thermoplastic polymer which is solid at a normal temperature and which dissolves in a body fluid is used as the antibacterial composition.

Abstract: To demonstrate an effect of whitening easily-darkening wearer's groin portion, etc. An absorbent article according to the present invention comprises: a liquid permeable top sheet; a liquid impermeable back sheet; and an absorber disposed between the top sheet and the back sheet, wherein in both-side edges on a skin contacting surface side of the top sheet and along a longitudinal direction of the absorbent article, application regions to which a phosphoric ester type vitamin is applied are arranged intermittently.

Abstract: A liquid-permeating sheet (17) having an antibacterial-containing polymer coating part (31) disposed on the side opposite to the skin side is bonded to a back waist area of a diaper base. When a wearer sweats, the sweat penetrates the antibacterial-containing polymer part (31) through the liquid-permeating sheet (17). The antibacterial contained in the antibacterial-containing polymer containing, part (31) then comes into the sweat to inhibit the propagation of Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Abstract: Provided is an absorbent article including a main body having a liquid-pervious top sheet, a back sheet and an absorbent core sandwiched between the top sheet an the back sheet; a layer containing a skin-protective ingredient; and a support layer for covering the ingredient-containing layer. The ingredient-containing layer and the support layer are provided on the surface of the main body to be in contact with the skin of a wearer. The solubility in water of the support layer is promoted at 25° C. or higher, and/or the moisture absorbability or the solubility in water of the support layer is promoted at a relative humidity of at least 30%.

In the antibacterial sheet, a composition including an antibacterial agent and a water-soluble thermoplastic polymer which is solid at a normal temperature and which dissolves in a body fluid is used as the antibacterial composition.

Abstract: An absorbent article contains a hydrophilic fiber processed by a water-soluble deodorant containing a graft polymer having a deodorant functional group. This constitution ensures to have large deodorizing function per unit weight, compared to a particulate deodorant. Consequently, the constitution allows to decrease a weight of the deodorant and to excel in deodorizing function. Moreover, it is unnecessary to fix the deodorant and easy to compound with the absorbent article. Therefore, it allows to obtain an absorbent article having excellent aesthetics and cleanness.

Abstract: The topsheet of a absorbent article improved dry feeling, and an evaluation/selection method for a topsheet improved in dry feeling. The liquid-permeable topsheet of a absorbent article, characterized in that a contact cool feeling during a wet condition as measured in a maximum heat transfer quantity (q-max value) is less than 1.1 kw/m2 on the side contacting the skin oft wearer of the topsheet, and a q-max value on the side contacting the absorbent article is larger than a q-max value on the side contacting the skin of a wearer with the difference of at least 0.5 kw/cm2. An evaluation/selection method for the topsheet of a absorbent article excellent in dry feeling using a q-max value during a wet condition as an index.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an absorbent article such as a disposal diaper, sanitary napkin, or the like which can reduce odor and dermatitis (rash) generated when such an absorbent article is worn. The absorbent article comprises a compound assimilated only by microorganisms in the normal flora of the skin useful and/or harmless to the human body and preferably such a compound assimilated only by microorganisms in normal flora of the skin useful and/or harmless to the human body is glucooligosaccharide.

Abstract: A topsheet for a disposable absorbent article including a first plastic film layer, a second plastic film layer and a fibrous assembly layer disposed between these two layers. The first plastic film layer includes a plurality of first plane regions spaced one from another and extending in parallel one to another in one direction and the second plastic film layer includes a plurality of second plane regions spaced one from another and extending in parallel one to another in the one direction. Of the first and second plane regions, at least the first plane regions are formed with bridge-like regions and first rising regions.
