When the cared person urinates, the urine is first absorbed by the disposable diaper 2. The urine absorbed by the disposable diaper 2 moves downward and accumulates, and is then absorbed by the pad 3 laid under the disposable diaper 2. Then, the urine absorbed by the pad 3 moves in the water guide portion 3a by the water absorption / suction force due to the capillary action of the nonwoven fabric, is sucked up to the height h, and then falls by the siphon effect and continuously falls into the urine storage bag 7. Guided and stored. The urine storage bag 7, which is a bag made of synthetic resin, has a capacity of about 1800 when its size is, for example, 35 cm in height and 1.5 cm in height.
cc, which is sufficient to store daily urinary output for adults.

Therefore, the urine absorbed by the disposable diaper 2 is forcibly stored in the external urine storage bag 7 via the pad 3, so that it is not necessary to replace the disposable diaper every time urine is discharged. Can be reduced. Therefore, the caregiver does not always need to carefully monitor whether the care receiver has urinated, and can reduce the caregiver's lack of sleep at night and can go out relatively freely. it can. Furthermore, even if the care receiver sleeps sideways, urine is forcibly stored in the external urine storage bag 7 via the pad 3, so that urine can be stored in the urine storage bag 7 without any trouble.

FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the diaper cover according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a side sectional view showing the diaper cover in a mounted state. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG.
Numeral 2 is composed of a front sheet 12a and a back sheet 12b. The front sheet 12a is made larger than the back sheet 12b, and the front sheet 12a and the back sheet 12b are adhered to each other while maintaining airtightness. Are formed. A pad 13 having the same structure as the pad 3 described above is laid on a portion of the disposable diaper 2 where urine accumulates, and the tips of the pads 13 are bundled to form a water guide portion 13a. The leading end of the water guide portion 13a is a hole 12d substantially at the center of the
And is inserted into the bag portion 12c. Band portions 12e and 12f are provided at lower left and right end portions of the main body cover 12 so as to extend in the left and right direction, respectively.
