  In the diaper as described above, for example, products of S, M, and L sizes may be manufactured and sold so that the size can be selected according to the wearer's body shape. If the wearer's body shape does not change, once the size is determined, you can continue to use a diaper of that size, and you can select and wear a fastening position such as “tight” or “relaxed” . However, if the wearer becomes fat or thin and their body shape changes significantly, the diaper cannot be brought into close contact with the wearer simply by changing the position of the fastening tape. There is a situation that must be changed. When the wearer is an infant, the diaper must be increased in size as the child grows up. In such a case, it is difficult to determine whether it should be the same size as it is, and when to make a diaper that is one larger or smaller size. If you do not try other diapers, There was a problem that I could not. That is, it is possible that a situation occurs in which a diaper having a different size is bought but the size does not match. Wearing diapers that do not match the size may cause urine leakage and skin problems. In general, since a plurality of diapers are packaged as a set, if the size does not fit, other diapers are discarded, which is uneconomical.

  This invention makes it a subject to provide the wearing article group which can determine the timing of a size change easily and can select the diaper suitable for a wearer's body shape.

  The present invention relates to a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction, a body side and the opposite side thereof, a first waist region that is one of a front waist region and a rear waist region, and a second that is the other of the front waist region and the rear waist region. A chassis including a waist region, a crotch region located between the first and second waist regions, a first engagement member attached to the first waist region, and the first waist member located in the second waist region. A fastening system including a second engaging member that is detachably engaged with one engaging member; a waist opening formed by engagement of the fastening system; and a pair of leg openings; The present invention relates to improvement of a wearing article group including a plurality of wearing articles having different sizes in the circumferential direction.

  In the worn article group, the second engagement member can engage the first engagement member at an arbitrary position in the lateral direction, and the waist of the person to be worn of each wearing article. A target display area that is displayed as a standard size, and an out-of-range display area that is displayed at least one of the inner side and the outer side of the target display area and does not fall within the standard size, The dimension in the circumferential direction of the waist opening when the first engagement member is positioned in the out-of-range display region, and the first engagement member when positioned in the target display region of the other wearing article The waist opening is formed so that the dimensions in the circumferential direction coincide with each other.

  As one preferred embodiment, the target display area and the out-of-range display area are formed on the second engagement member by at least one of letters, figures, and colors.

  As another preferred embodiment, the target display area and the out-of-area display area are formed symmetrically with respect to a virtual vertical center line that bisects the lateral length of the wearing article.

  As another preferred embodiment, the target display area and the target display area displayed on the other worn article corresponding to the target display area are the same character, figure, or color. Is displayed.

  As another preferred embodiment, the fastening system is composed of a hook element and a loop element of a mechanical fastener, or is composed of a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and an adhesion layer to which the adhesive layer is peelably bonded. The

  In this invention, in the wearing article group including a plurality of wearing articles having different sizes in the circumferential direction of the waist opening, each wearing article engages the first engaging member with the second engaging member of the fastening system, and the waist Form an opening. The second engagement member includes a target display area that displays the standard size of the subject's waist that is the target for each size of the wearing article, and an out-of-range display area that displays that the size does not apply to the standard size. In the wearing article of one size, the size of the waist opening when the first engaging member is engaged with the outside display area, and in the wearing article of another size, the first engaging member is engaged with the target display area. The size of the waist opening matches. Therefore, when the first engagement member is located in the out-of-range display area when wearing the one-size wearing article, select another size wearing article having a target display area corresponding to the out-of-area display area. By doing so, the worn article can always be adapted to the wearer's body shape. By simply engaging the first engagement member with the second engagement member, the wearer can recognize at a glance whether the size is fit or needs to be resized, The timing of change can be determined appropriately. Therefore, you can always choose a diaper that matches the wearer's body shape.

  An example of the present invention will be described using a disposable diaper for adults as a wearing article.

The wearing article group of this invention includes, for example, wearing articles having different sizes of S size, M size, and L size. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the S-sized diaper 1 will be described as an example, but what is described here is a configuration common to all size wearing articles.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the diaper 1 in an assembled state, and FIG. 2 is a development view of the diaper 1 and a part thereof is broken for explanation. As shown, the diaper 1 includes a chassis 20 and a mechanical fastener 30 that is a fastening system. The diaper 1 includes a front waist region 11, a rear waist region 12, and a crotch region 13 positioned between the front and rear waist regions 11, 12 that are continuous in the longitudinal direction Y.

  The chassis 20 includes an inner sheet 21 positioned on the body side, an outer sheet 22 positioned on the clothing side opposite to the body side, and a liquid absorbing structure 40 positioned between these inner and outer sheets 21 and 22. including. The liquid absorbing structure 40 includes a liquid absorbing core material 41 and a liquid diffusion sheet 42 that covers the liquid absorbing core material 41. The inner and outer sheets 21 and 22 are liquid permeable non-woven fabrics, the liquid absorbent core 41 is a mixture of fluff pulp and superabsorbent polymer particles, the liquid diffusion sheet 42 is tissue paper, etc. Material can be used.

  The chassis 20 extends in the longitudinal direction Y opposite to the lateral direction X in the front waist region 11 and the pair of first side edges 14 extending in the longitudinal direction Y facing the lateral direction X in the rear waist region 12. It includes a pair of second side edges 15 and a crotch side edge 16 formed in the crotch region 13 between the first and second side edges 14 and 15 in the longitudinal direction Y. The chassis 20 includes front and rear end edges 17 and 18 extending in the lateral direction X, and a plurality of waist elastic members 81 are attached along the rear end edge 18 so as to be contractable in an extended state in the lateral direction X. A plurality of leg elastic members 82 are attached along the crotch side edge 16 so as to be contractable in the longitudinal direction Y in an extended state. These elastic members 81 and 82 are between the inner and outer surface sheets 21 and 22 and are joined to at least one of the sheets 21 and 22.

  Side sheets 50 extending outward in the lateral direction X are respectively attached to the first side edge portions 14, and the first engagement members 31 are attached to the body side of the side sheets 50 via sheet-like tab members 60. It is done. The 1st engaging member 31 is formed of the hook element of the mechanical fastener which comprises a fastening system. The side sheet 50 is attached with the inner edge 51 in the lateral direction X positioned between the inner and outer surface sheets 21 and 22, and the outer edge 52 extends from the first side edge 14. The outer edge 52 is located on the outer side in the lateral direction X than the first engagement member 31. The first engagement member 31 can be engaged with the second engagement member by sandwiching the vicinity of the outer edge 52.

  A second engagement member 32 that is detachably engaged with the first engagement member 31 and that constitutes a fastening system is attached to the clothing side of the front waist region 11. The second engaging member 32 is formed by a base sheet attached to the outer sheet 22 and a loop element formed on the base sheet (not shown). The base material sheet can be seen through the second engaging member 32 through the loop element, and when a picture or character is drawn or colored on the base material sheet, this can be visually recognized from the clothing side. it can. The second engagement member 32 is formed over substantially the entire lateral direction X of the front waist region 11 from one second side edge 15 to the other second side edge 15, and the size of the wearer's waist is large. Accordingly, the engagement position of the first engagement member 31 can be adjusted in the lateral direction X.

  By engaging the first engagement member 31 formed as described above with the second engagement member 32, the front and rear waist regions 11 and 12 are connected to each other, and the diaper 1 is as shown in FIG. It can be formed into a pants shape. The diaper 1 is formed with a waist opening 71 that surrounds the wearer's waist and a leg opening 72 that surrounds the base of the foot.

  In addition, it can replace with the said fastening system and can select another fastening system. That is, instead of the hook element that is the first engagement member, a pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to form an adhesive layer, and the adhesive layer is formed instead of the loop element that is the second engagement member 32 The adhesion layer can be formed by a plastic film that releasably joins the tabs.

  In this invention, the wearing article group is formed of diapers having different sizes of S size, M size, and L size. 3A to 3C are S, M, and L size diapers 1a, 1b, and 1c, and are schematic plan views when viewed from the outer sheet 22. The diapers 1a, 1b, and 1c of each size have different lengths in the lateral direction X of the front and rear waist regions 11 and 12, respectively, and waist openings 71 formed by the front and rear end edges 17 and 18 of the front and rear waist regions 11 and 12, respectively. The dimensions in the circumferential direction are different. In the S size diaper 1a, the size of the waist opening 71 is 63 to 90 cm, the M size diaper 1b is 67 to 106 cm, and the L size diaper 1c is adjustable to 81 to 128 cm. Each size diaper 1a, 1b, 1c has a standard waist size of the wearer wearing it, and the standard size is smaller than 84cm in the S size diaper 1a, in the M size diaper 1b 84-100cm, L size diaper 1c is larger than 100cm.

On the second engaging member 32 of each diaper 1a, 1b, 1c, target display areas 91-93 indicating the standard size and out-of-range display areas 94-97 not applicable to the standard size are displayed. These regions 91 to 97 are formed symmetrically with respect to a virtual vertical center line PP. As shown in FIG. 3A, for example, a heart mark is displayed in the target display area 91 of the S size diaper 1a. When the 1st engagement member 31 is engaged with the object display area 91, it shows that the dimension of a waist opening is 84 cm or less, and a wearer's waist size is 84 cm or less which is in the range of a standard size.
In addition, when the 1st engagement member 31 is engaged, the case where the outer edge 52 of the side seat | sheet 50 is located in each area | region is shown.

  An outside display area 94 is formed outside the target display area 91 in the horizontal direction X, and a diamond mark is displayed. When the first engagement member 31 is engaged with the out-of-range display area 94, the size of the waist opening is larger than 84 cm, indicating that the wearer's waist size is outside the standard size range.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, a target display area 92 is formed in the M size diaper 1b, and a diamond mark is displayed. This mark is the same as the mark displayed in the outside display area 94 of the S size diaper 1a. An out-of-range display area 95 in which a heart mark is displayed is formed inside the target display area 92 of the M size diaper 1b in the horizontal direction X. This mark is the same as the mark displayed in the target display area 91 of the S size diaper 1a. Furthermore, an outside display area 96 is formed outside the target display area 92 of the M size diaper 1b, and a clover mark is displayed.

  When the wearer wears such an M size diaper 1b and the first engagement member 31 is positioned in the inner outside display region 95, the size of the waist opening 71 and the wearer's waist size are 67 to 83 cm. Yes, indicates that the standard size is not applicable. On the other hand, when the 1st engagement member 31 is located in the object display area 92, it shows that the dimension of the waist opening 71 and the waist size of the wearer are 84 to 100 cm, and are within the standard size, and outside the outside area. When it is located in the display area 96, it is larger than 100 cm and indicates that the standard size is not applied.

  As shown in FIG. 3C, a clover mark is displayed in the target display area 93 of the L size diaper 1c. This mark is the same as the mark displayed in the outside display area 96 outside the M size diaper 1b. An out-of-range display area 97 in which a diamond mark is displayed is formed inside the target display area 93 of the L size diaper 1c in the horizontal direction X. The diamond mark is the same as the mark displayed in the target display area 92 of the M size diaper 1b.

  When the wearer wears such an L size diaper 1c, when the first engagement member 31 is located in the target display area 93, the size of the waist opening 71 and the waist size of the wearer are 100 to 120 cm. Indicating that it is within the standard size. When the 1st engagement member 31 is located in the outside display area 97, it shows that the waist opening 71 and a wearer's waist size are 81-99 cm, and are not applied to a standard size.

  In the diapers 1a, 1b, and 1c of the sizes described above, for example, when the S size diaper 1a is used, when the front and rear waist regions 11 and 12 are worn in close contact with the wearer's waist, the first engagement If the outer edge 52 of the side seat 50 on which the joint member 31 is formed is positioned in the target display area 91, it is determined that the wearer's waist size conforms to the standard size set in the S size diaper 1a. be able to. On the other hand, when it is located in the out-of-range display area 94, it means that the wearer's waist size is larger than the standard size of the S size diaper 1a, and should be changed to one larger size M size diaper 1b. It can be judged that there is. Since the standard size targeted for the M size diaper 1b and the outside display area 94 of the S size diaper 1a are set so as to be the same size, the transition from the S size diaper 1a to the M size diaper 1b Can be easily determined. Here, since the mark displayed in the out-of-range display area 94 of the S size diaper 1a and the mark displayed in the target display area 92 of the M size diaper 1b are the same diamond mark, the user of the diaper The relationship between the S size diaper 1a and the M size diaper 1b can be easily understood only by looking at the mark.

  Similarly, when the M size diaper 1b is worn, when the first engagement member 31 is positioned in the target display area 92, it can be determined that the size is suitable, and the inner outside display area 95 can be determined. It should be understood that it should be changed to the S size diaper 1a having the smaller size when it is positioned at 1, and should be changed to the L size 1c diaper having the larger size when positioned at the outer outside display area 96. be able to. The outside mark display area 95 inside the M size diaper 1b and the target display area 91 of the S size diaper 1a are related to each other so that the same mark is displayed. Similarly, the out-of-range display area 96 outside the M size diaper 1b and the target display area 93 of the L size diaper 1c are related to each other so that the same mark is displayed.

  In the case where the L size diaper 1c is worn, when the first engagement member 31 is located in the target display area 93, it can be determined that the size is suitable, and the inner outside display area 97 is displayed. When it is positioned, it can be determined that the size should be changed to one smaller M size diaper 1b. The out-of-range display area 97 of the L size diaper 1c and the target display area 92 of the M size diaper 1b are related to each other so that the same mark is displayed.

In the S size diaper 1a and the L size diaper 1c, the out-of-area display areas 94 and 97 are formed only at one location, respectively, but the SS size diaper smaller than the S size diaper 1a or larger than the L size 1c diaper. When LL size diapers are also included in the wearing article group, a display area corresponding to them can be formed.
In each of the display areas 91 to 97, a corresponding mark is displayed. However, if the display can understand the correspondence of diapers of each size, each area is color-coded, or the boundary between the areas. Can also be marked. In addition, for example, "Please use S size diapers" is displayed in the outer area display area 95 inside the M size diaper 1b, and "Please use L size diapers" is displayed in the outer area display area 96. A message can also be displayed.

  Since the target display areas 91 to 93 and the out-of-area display areas 94 to 97 are formed symmetrically with respect to the virtual vertical center line PP, the pair of first engaging members 31 are connected to the virtual vertical center line P. -P can be evenly engaged. By evenly engaging the first engagement members 31, it is possible to prevent the diaper from being misaligned during wearing, and to prevent leakage of urine and the like due to the misalignment. Moreover, with a pair of 1st engaging member 31, it can be judged whether it is a diaper suitable for a wearer, and a more reliable judgment can be made.

  Although the engagement position when the first engagement member 31 is engaged with the second engagement member 32 is determined by the outer edge 52 of the side seat 50, the position of the outer edge of the first engagement member 31 is determined. Alternatively, the determination may be made based on the position of the vertical center line of the first engagement member 31 or the like. When the determination is made based on the position of the vertical center line of the first engagement member 31, a mark may be placed along the vertical center line so that the determination is easy.

In this invention, although S, M, and L size diapers are included as the wearing article group, the present invention is not limited thereto, as long as it includes at least two diapers having different sizes. Moreover, this wearing article group is intended for adult diapers, but is not limited thereto. For example, diapers for infants can be targeted, and wearing articles having different configurations for each size may be included.
Although a picture, a character, or the like forming a display area is displayed on the second engagement member 32, it may be displayed on the chassis 20 and visible through the second engagement member 32. It may be displayed on the upper, lower, left and right of the joint member 32. That is, any user can view the display area.

As the hook element and the loop element, for example, “Velcro (registered trademark)” or “Magic tape (registered trademark)” commonly used in the technical field of the wearing article according to the present invention can be used.
The waist elastic member 81 and the leg elastic member 82 are formed of a material having rubber elasticity such as a plurality of yarns, strands, tapes, etc., and the waist opening and the leg opening fit the wearer due to the contraction force of these materials. To prevent leakage. The waist elastic member 81 and the leg elastic member 82 can be made of a material having rubber elasticity such as natural rubber or synthetic rubber such as polyurethane. Instead of these materials, a fiber nonwoven fabric or plastic sheet having rubber elasticity is used. Can also be used, and a general elastic member can be used. The first and second engaging members are not limited to the hook element and the loop element, and these may be reversed, or the front and rear waist regions may be connected using other means.

  The tab member 60 is not an essential component and need not be used depending on the strength or the like of the side seat 50. The side sheet 50 and the tab member 60 may be made of a breathable and liquid permeable nonwoven fabric. The first engagement member 31 is formed in the rear waist region 12. If the front and rear waist regions 11, 12 can be connected by engagement with the second engagement member 32, the front waist region can be used. It can also be formed in region 11.
