Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2000-42028

In the diaper package, it is desirable that the disposable diaper can be taken out smoothly when the diaper is taken out from the container. For example, a pants-type disposable diaper is sometimes provided with a disposal tape on the back side, but it is desirable that the disposal tape not get caught on the inner surface of the container when the disposable diaper is taken out of the container.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a diaper package in which a plurality of pant-type disposable diapers equipped with a disposal tape are stacked and housed in a container. To provide a diaper package that can be taken out smoothly.

The diaper package of the present invention that can solve the above problems is a diaper package in which a plurality of pant-type disposable diapers are housed in a container; The diaper has a front side and a rear side, the rear side is provided with a tape for disposal, and is folded back with the front side inward to form a folded diaper; has a second main surface, and a grip portion of the disposal tape is located on the first main surface; a plurality of folded diapers are stacked to form a diaper bundle, and the diaper bundle is stored in a container; The folded diaper located at one end of the bundle and the folded diaper located at the other end have second major surfaces forming the outer surface of the diaper bundle and facing the inner surface of the container; The feature is that the take-out portion can be formed in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the bundles are stacked.

In the diaper package of the present invention, when taking out a disposable diaper from a container, the diaper can be taken out smoothly from any part of the bundle of diapers. In particular, since the folded diapers are stored in the container so that the first main surface, that is, the surface where the tab of the disposal tape is located, does not face the inner surface of the container, one end or the other end of the diaper bundle is Even when taking out a disposable diaper from a container, the diaper can be taken out smoothly without getting caught on the inner surface of the container. On the other hand, in other parts of the diaper bundle, the tabs of the disposal tape are positioned opposite to the adjacent folded diapers, so the tabs do not come into strong contact with the inner surface of the container, and the tape does not come into contact with the inside surface of the container. When taking out a disposable diaper, the handle can be taken out smoothly without getting caught.

A disposable diaper is folded with the front side inside so that both sides in the width direction overlap with the center part between them, and then folded back vertically with the front side inside to form a folded diaper. It is preferable that the In this case, when the fold at the crotch is the first fold and the fold folded vertically with the front side inward is the second fold, the container has a take-out part formed in the direction of the first fold or the second fold. It is preferable that this is possible. Thereby, when taking out the disposable diaper from the take-out part of the container, it is possible to grasp the first fold or the second fold of the folded diaper and take it out, making it easier to take out the folded diaper from the container.

In the folded diaper, both sides of the folded diaper in the width direction are preferably spaced apart from each other, and the tabs of the disposal tape are preferably provided so as to overlap the separation parts of the folded sides of the diaper in the width direction. . In this case, since the thickness of the folded diaper becomes thinner at the part that overlaps with the separation part, the tab of the folded diaper stored in the container is less likely to come into strong contact with the adjacent folded diaper, and the diaper is removed from the container. The knob is less likely to get caught when taking out the item.

It is preferable that the disposal tape has a shape elongated in the vertical direction of the disposable diaper, and that a grip portion is formed at the upper end, and that the container is capable of forming a take-out portion in the direction toward the second fold. The disposal tape may be folded in a Z-shape in the vertical cross section of the disposable diaper, and a tab may be formed at the upper end of the outermost layer of the folded disposal tape. By configuring the diaper package in this way, it becomes easy to grab the second fold and take out the folded diaper from the container, and when taking out the diaper from the container, the grip part of the disposal tape can be easily removed from the adjacent fold. It will be less likely to get caught in wet diapers.

It is preferable that the disposable diaper has an absorbent core, and the grip portion of the disposal tape is located further back than the rear end of the absorbent core. By providing the disposal tape in this way, when a folded diaper is stored in a container, the tab part is less likely to come into strong contact with an adjacent folded diaper, and when taking out a diaper from the container, The parts are less likely to get caught.

In the diaper bundle, it is preferable that the first main surfaces of the folded diapers are arranged to face each other at only one place among the plurality of stacked folded diapers. If the diaper bundle is formed in this manner, the number of locations where the first principal surfaces of the disposal tape, on which the tabs are located, are arranged facing each other can be minimized. Therefore, when taking out the folded diaper from the container, contact between the tabs of the folded diapers arranged adjacent to each other is minimized, and the tabs are less likely to get caught.

According to the diaper package of the present invention, when taking out a disposable diaper from a container, the diaper can be taken out smoothly from any part of the diaper bundle.

An example of a diaper package in which a folded diaper is housed in a container is shown. Another example of a diaper package in which a folded diaper is housed in a container is shown. Another example of a diaper package in which a folded diaper is housed in a container is shown.

The present invention relates to a diaper package in which a plurality of pants-type disposable diapers are housed in a container. Before use, disposable diapers are sold over-the-counter as diaper packages or transported to hospitals, nursing care facilities, etc., and before use, the user takes out the diaper from the outlet of the container of the diaper package. The diaper package of the present invention allows the diaper to be taken out smoothly from any location in the container when the diaper is taken out from the take-out portion of the container of the diaper package. First, the pants-type disposable diaper used in the present invention will be explained.

Pants-type disposable diapers are formed by connecting the front and back parts at the crease at the crotch, and by joining both widthwise sides of the front part and both widthwise sides of the backside part to each other. The pants are shaped like pants and have a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. The waist opening is an opening through which the wearer's torso passes, and the leg opening is an opening through which the wearer's legs pass.

In a pants-type disposable diaper, the front part is the part located on the wearer's ventral side when wearing the diaper, and the rear part is the part located on the wearer's back side when wearing the diaper. be. The crotch portion is located between the front side portion and the rear side portion, and when the disposable diaper is placed flat, the front side portion and the rear side portion are separated by the fold line of the crotch portion. When placed on a flat surface, the disposable diaper has vertical and width directions, with the waist opening side being the upper side and the crotch area being the lower side. The width direction corresponds to the left-right direction of the wearer when wearing the diaper.

A pants-type disposable diaper is configured, for example, by disposing an absorbent main body in which an absorbent core is disposed between a top sheet and a back sheet on the skin side of a pant-shaped exterior member. Alternatively, a pants-type disposable diaper may consist of a laminate in which an absorbent core is disposed between a top sheet and a back sheet, and this laminate may be formed into a pants shape. The disposable diaper preferably includes an absorbent core at least in the crotch region.

Preferably, the topsheet is liquid permeable. Examples of the top sheet include nonwoven fabrics made of hydrophilic fibers such as cellulose, rayon, and cotton; and hydrophobic fabrics such as polyolefins (eg, polypropylene, polyethylene), polyesters (eg, PET), and polyamides (eg, nylon). A nonwoven fabric formed from fibers, the surface of which is made hydrophobic by a surfactant, can be used. Further, as the top sheet, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, or a plastic film in which holes are formed may be used.

Preferably, the backsheet is liquid impermeable. As the backsheet, a nonwoven fabric made of hydrophobic fibers such as polyolefin (eg, polypropylene, polyethylene), polyester (eg, PET), polyamide (eg, nylon), or a plastic film can be used. Furthermore, a laminate of a nonwoven fabric and a plastic film may be used as the backsheet.

The exterior member preferably includes an inner sheet disposed on the skin side and an outer sheet disposed on the non-skin side. The inner sheet and the outer sheet may be liquid-permeable or liquid-impermeable, and any sheet material that can be used for the top sheet and back sheet can be used. It is preferable that the inner sheet and the outer sheet are moisture permeable, which can improve the feeling of wearing the diaper.

The absorbent core is not particularly limited as long as it contains an absorbent material that can absorb excreta such as urine. As the absorbent core, for example, a molded article formed by molding an absorbent material into a predetermined shape can be used. The absorbent core may be covered with a sheet member such as a paper sheet (eg, tissue paper or thin paper) or a liquid-permeable nonwoven fabric. Examples of absorbent materials contained in the absorbent core include hydrophilic fibers such as cellulose fibers (e.g., pulverized pulp fibers), polyacrylic acid-based, polyaspartic acid-based, cellulose-based, starch/acrylonitrile-based, etc. Examples include water-absorbing resins. The absorbent material may also include heat-fusible fibers such as polyolefin fibers such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyester fibers such as PET, and polyamide fibers such as nylon. These heat-fusible fibers may be subjected to hydrophilic treatment using a surfactant or the like in order to increase their affinity with body fluids such as urine.

The absorbent material preferably contains hydrophilic fibers in order to increase the rate of absorption of urine and the like. Further, from the viewpoint of increasing absorption capacity, it is preferable that the absorbent material contains a water-absorbing resin. Therefore, it is preferable that the absorbent core contains hydrophilic fibers (particularly pulp fibers) and a water absorbent resin. In this case, it is preferable to use, for example, an aggregate of hydrophilic fibers mixed with or sprinkled with a water-absorbing resin.

It is preferable that the disposable diaper is provided with stand-up flaps on both sides of the skin side in the width direction. By providing a rising flap, side leakage of urine, etc. is prevented. The rising flap may be formed, for example, by joining side sheets to both sides of the top sheet in the width direction and providing an elastic member on the inner part of the side sheet in the width direction (near the upper end when the rising flap is raised). I can do it. By providing the side sheet and the elastic member in this manner, the inner portion of the side sheet in the width direction rises toward the wearer's skin due to the contraction force of the elastic member, forming a rising flap. The rising flap or side sheet is preferably constructed of a liquid-impermeable plastic film, a liquid-impermeable nonwoven fabric, or the like.

Preferably, the disposable diaper is provided with leg elastic members along the edges of the leg openings. The leg elastic members form leg gathers around the wearer's legs, thereby preventing leakage of urine or the like from the crotch. Preferably, the leg elastic member is disposed between the inner sheet and the outer sheet of the exterior member.

It is preferable that a plurality of torso elastic members extending in the width direction of the diaper are provided on the front side and the rear side of the disposable diaper. The torso elastic member is provided between the waist opening and the leg opening. The torso elastic member improves the fit around the wearer's torso. It is preferable that the trunk elastic member is disposed between the inner sheet and the outer sheet of the exterior member. Of the torso elastic members, an elastic member provided along the edge of the waist opening may be provided as a waist elastic member, thereby forming waist gathers around the waist of the wearer, and forming a waist gather around the wearer's waist. Leakage of excreta such as urine from the abdominal side is prevented.

As each elastic member provided in the disposable diaper, elastic stretchable materials used in normal disposable diapers, such as polyurethane thread, polyurethane film, and natural rubber, can be used. Each elastic member is preferably fixed to the diaper in a stretched state, and preferably fixed with an adhesive such as a hot melt adhesive. For example, a polyurethane thread with a fineness of 40 to 1,240 dtex is stretched at a magnification of 1.1 to 5.0 times and fixed. Note that the magnification is 1.0 times in the non-expanded state.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example of the configuration of a pants-type disposable diaper. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the disposable diaper seen from the front side, and FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the disposable diaper seen from the back side.

The disposable diaper 1 is formed in the shape of pants and has a front side part 2 and a back side part 3. The front side part 2 and the rear side part 3 are divided by a crease 4 at the crotch part. The disposable diaper 1 is provided with an absorbent core 5 extending from the front side part 2 to the rear side part 3.

The front side part 2 and the rear side part 3 are formed with the crease 4 of the crotch part in between and overlap each other, and the overlapped front side part 2 and rear side part 3 are joined at both sides in the width direction. , a waist opening and leg openings are formed. The disposable diaper 1 is provided with a waist elastic member 6 along the edge of the waist opening, a leg elastic member 7 along the edge of the leg opening, and a waist elastic member 7 that extends around the waist of the front side 2 and rear side 3. A torso elastic member 8 is provided along the width direction of the diaper.

The disposable diaper 1 is provided with a disposal tape 9 on the rear side 3. The disposal tape 9 exposes the adhesive portion and functions as an adhesive tape when the diaper is discarded. When discarding the disposable diaper 1, by using the disposal tape 9, the diaper can be held in a small rolled state.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the configuration of the disposal tape. FIG. 3 shows an example of a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a disposal tape. The disposal tape 9 is formed in a long shape, and includes an adhesive portion 12 provided on a tape base material.

The disposal tape 9 has a fixing part 11 fixed to the rear side part 3 and a grip part 10 as a part to be pinched with fingers when the disposal tape 9 is used. The grip portion 10 is formed at the longitudinal end of the waste tape 9, and the grip portion 10 is not provided with an adhesive portion 12. Therefore, in an unused disposable diaper, the grip portion 10 is formed in a flap shape, and the grip portion 10 is in a state where it can be caught on other members. The adhesive part 12 is preferably provided between the fixing part 11 and the grip part 10 with respect to the longitudinal direction of the disposal tape 9.

It is preferable that the disposal tape 9 has a long shape in the vertical direction of the disposable diaper 1. In this case, the grip portion 10 is preferably formed at the upper end of the disposal tape 9, which facilitates sanitary disposal of the disposable diaper. Specifically, by rolling up a disposable diaper with the crotch area that has absorbed excrement from the wearer on the inside and the waist area on the outside, and pasting it with the disposal tape 9, the rolled state can be maintained. This makes it easier to dispose of disposable diapers hygienically.

The grip portion 10 of the disposal tape 9 is preferably provided, for example, within 20 mm rearward from the rear end of the absorbent core 5, more preferably within 15 mm, and even more preferably within 10 mm. If the grip portion 10 is provided in this manner, it becomes easier to grip the grip portion 10 when using the disposal tape 9 by utilizing the difference in thickness due to the difference in thickness at the rear end of the absorbent core 5. On the other hand, the fixing part 11 is preferably provided at a position overlapping the absorbent core 5, so that when discarding the disposable diaper, the diaper can be gathered up into a small size by pinching and pulling the grip part 10 of the disposal tape 9. becomes easier.

As shown in FIG. 3(a), the disposal tape 9 has a fixing part 11 formed at one end, a tab part 10 at the other end, and an adhesive part 12 between the fixing part 11 and the tab part 10. The disposal tape 9 can be formed so as to extend straight upward from the fixing part 11 to the grip part 10. In this case, the disposal tape 9 will be formed in an I-shape in cross section in the vertical direction of the diaper.

The disposal tape 9 may be formed by being folded in a cross section in the vertical direction of the diaper, as shown in FIG. 3(b). In this case, the length of the disposal tape 9 can be increased by unfolding the fold when using the disposal tape 9. Therefore, the disposal tape 9 allows the disposable diaper to be rolled up into a small size more stably. Easier to maintain. In this case, the grip portion 10 is preferably formed at the upper end of the outermost layer of the folded disposal tape 9. The fixing portion 11 is preferably formed in at least a portion of the innermost layer (ie, the layer in contact with the rear side portion 3) of the folded disposal tape 9. It is preferable that the adhesive part 12 is formed between the fixing part 11 and the grip part 10 when the disposal tape 9 is unfolded. If the adhesive part 12 is provided in this way, it becomes easier to maintain the folded state of the waste tape 9 by the adhesive part 12 before the waste tape 9 is used. From the viewpoint of ease of handling the disposal tape 9, it is preferable that the disposal tape 9 be folded in a Z-shape in the vertical cross section of the diaper.

The disposable diaper 1 is folded back with the front side portion 2 facing inside to form a folded diaper. The folded diaper is preferably formed into a substantially rectangular shape in plan view by folding back the pant-shaped disposable diaper 1 in the width direction and the vertical direction. As a result, the folded diaper is formed compactly and can be stored tightly in the container. It is preferable that the disposable diaper 1 is folded back with the front side part 2 on the inside so that both sides in the width direction overlap with the center part between them, and then folded back in the vertical direction with the front side part 2 on the inside. This will be explained with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a method for folding the pants-type disposable diaper shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the disposable diaper 1 is divided into both side parts 21 and a central part 22 in the width direction, and divided into an upper part 23 and a lower part 24 in the vertical direction. In FIG. 4, the side parts 21 and the center part 22 are divided by the line AA, and the upper part 23 and the lower part 24 are divided by the line BB. In the disposable diaper 1, both side parts 21 are folded back to the center part 22 side along the line AA with the front side part 2 inside, and the both side parts 21 are overlapped with the center part 22 (see FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b)). ), the disposable diaper 1 is then folded back in the vertical direction with the front side portion 2 facing inside, thereby forming a folded diaper 30 (see FIGS. 4(b) and 4(c)). In the present invention, the fold line 25 formed by folding back the disposable diaper 1 in the vertical direction is referred to as a "second fold line", and the fold line 4 at the crotch part that separates the front side part 2 and the rear side part 3 is referred to as a "first fold line". Sometimes referred to as "folds."

In FIG. 4, it is preferable that the line AA, which folds back the side portions 21 toward the center portion 22, is formed in a portion where the absorbent core 5 is not present. This prevents the folded diaper 30 from becoming too thick due to the absorbent cores 5 overlapping each other. Moreover, when folding back the both sides 21 of the disposable diaper 1 so as to overlap the central part 22, it is preferable that the folded both sides 21 are separated from each other. In this case, the folded both sides 21 overlap each other, which prevents the sides 21 from being folded back irregularly, allowing the disposable diaper 1 to be neatly folded. Further, it is also possible to prevent the folded diaper 30 from becoming thicker.

In FIG. 4, the lower part 24 is folded back along the line BB to the upper part 23 side, the lower part 24 is overlapped with the upper part 23, and the disposable diaper 1 is folded in half in the vertical direction. It may be folded into three. In order to prevent the folded diaper 30 from becoming too thick, it is preferable that the folded diaper 30 is formed by folding the disposable diaper 1 in half in the vertical direction. Further, it is preferable that the line BB overlaps both the absorbent core 5 of the front side part 2 and the absorbent core 5 of the rear side part 3, thereby stabilizing the planar shape of the folded diaper 30. . In this case, the length from the first fold line 4 to the second fold line 25 of the folded diaper 30 is preferably 75% or more of the length of the folded diaper 30 in the vertical direction, and preferably 80% or more. Preferably, 90% or more is more preferable.

FIG. 5 shows a plan view and a side view of the folded diaper 30 formed as described above. FIG. 5(a) shows a plan view of the folded diaper seen from the first main surface, FIG. 5(b) shows a plan view of the folded diaper seen from the second main surface, and FIG. 5(c) shows a plan view of the folded diaper seen from the second main surface. Represents a side view of a folded diaper.

The folded diaper 30 has a first main surface 31 and a second main surface 32. The first main surface 31 and the second main surface 32 constitute the widest outer surface of the folded diaper 30, and the second main surface 32 is located on the opposite side of the first main surface 31. A grip portion 10 of the disposal tape 9 is located on the first main surface 31 . By positioning the grip portion 10 of the disposal tape 9 on the first main surface 31, the front side and the rear side of the disposable diaper 1 can be easily recognized from the appearance of the folded diaper 30 using the grip portion 10 as a landmark. be able to.

The portion of the disposal tape 9 other than the grip portion 10 may be located on the first main surface 31 or may be located on the second main surface 32, and may be located on the first main surface 31 to the second main surface 32. It may be located between Note that the grip portion 10 of the disposal tape 9 is not located on the second main surface 32.

FIGS. 6 to 8 show examples of the configuration of a diaper package in which a plurality of folded diapers are housed in containers. 6 to 8 schematically show side views of the diaper package, and the folded diapers accommodated in the container are not visible from the outside of the container, but are shown to facilitate understanding. Therefore, it is represented by a solid line. "..." in the figure indicates that a plurality of folded diapers are arranged on both sides of the diaper.

A plurality of folded diapers 30 are stacked to form a diaper bundle, and the disposable diaper 1 is housed in the container 33 in the diaper bundle to form a diaper package 40. By accommodating the disposable diaper 1 in the container 33 in this manner, the disposable diaper 1 can be packed with high density, and the disposable diaper 1 can be easily taken out from the container 33.

The diaper bundle is made up of folded diapers 30 such that the first principal surfaces 31, second principal surfaces 32, or first principal surfaces 31 and second principal surfaces 32 of adjacent folded diapers 30 face each other. Can be stacked. The diaper bundle has one side and the other side with respect to the stacking direction of the folded diapers 30. ), the folded diapers 30 are stacked such that the second major surface 32 forms the outer surface of the diaper bundle. By forming the diaper bundle in this manner, the grip portion 10 of the disposal tape 9 is not located on the outer surface of the diaper bundle.

In the diaper package 40, the diaper bundle formed as described above is accommodated in the container 33. Since the diaper bundle is constituted by the second main surface 32 of the diaper 30 whose one end and the other end in the stacking direction are folded, the diaper bundle is inserted into the container 33 so that the second main surface 32 faces the inner surface of the container 33. It will be placed. The number of bundles of diapers housed in the container 33 may be one or more. In the latter case, the diaper bundles may be stacked vertically in multiple stages within the container 33, arranged side by side from side to side, or a combination thereof.

The folded diaper 30 is oriented such that the first fold 4 and the second fold 25 form the sides of the diaper bundle, that is, the first fold 4 and the second fold 25 are oriented perpendicular to the stacking direction of the diaper bundle. As in, they can be stacked. Preferably, the diaper bundle is formed such that the first fold 4 and/or second fold 25 of all folded diapers 30 face in the same direction.

The container 33 is not particularly limited as long as it can accommodate the folded diaper 30, and examples thereof include a plastic film bag, a paper bag, a hard plastic container, a cardboard box, and the like. Among these, it is preferable that the container 33 is constructed from a bag made of plastic film, whereby the container 33 can be made stronger and lighter. Moreover, even if the container 33 is splashed with water, the diaper stored therein can be prevented from getting wet.

The container 33 can form a take-out portion for taking out the folded diaper 30 stored therein. The take-out portion of the container 33 can be formed, for example, by forming perforations 34 in the container 33 and cutting the container 33 along the perforations 34, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, for example. Alternatively, a cutting line may be provided on the container 33, a sticker is pasted along the cutting line, and the container 33 is cut along the cutting line by peeling off the seal to form the take-out portion. Alternatively, an opening may be provided in the container 33 as a take-out portion, a lid may be provided or a seal may be applied to cover this opening, and the take-out portion may be formed by removing the lid or peeling off the seal. In either case, the container 33 only needs to be able to form a take-out portion. Note that in the diaper package 40 shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, by cutting the container 33 along the perforations 34, a take-out portion is formed on the upper surface (upper side in the drawing) of the container 33.

The container 33 can have a take-out portion formed in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the diaper bundles are stacked. Preferably, the container 33 is capable of forming a take-out portion in the direction in which the first fold line 4 or the second fold line 25 of the diaper 30 folded in the diaper bundle faces. Thereby, when taking out the disposable diaper 1 from the take-out part of the container 33, it is possible to grasp the first fold 4 and the second fold 25 of the folded diaper 30 and take it out.

In the diaper package 40 formed as described above, when taking out the disposable diaper 1 from the container 33, the diaper can be taken out smoothly from any part of the diaper bundle. In particular, in the present invention, even when taking out the disposable diaper 1 from one end or the other end of the diaper bundle, the diaper can be taken out smoothly without getting caught on the inner surface of the container 33. For example, the folded diapers 30 located at one end or the other end of a diaper bundle are arranged such that the first main surface 31, that is, the surface where the grip portion 10 of the disposal tape 9 is located, is the outer surface of the diaper bundle. If so, the contact resistance between the grip portion 10 and the inner surface of the container 33 may cause the grip portion 10 to get caught on the inner surface of the container 33 when the diaper is taken out from the container 33, or the adhesive portion of the disposal tape 9 may may be exposed and stick to the inner surface of the container 33. However, in the diaper package 40 of the present invention, the folded diaper 30 is placed inside the container 33 so that the first main surface 31, that is, the surface on which the tab 10 of the disposal tape 9 is located, does not face the inner surface of the container 33. Since the diaper 30 is accommodated, there is no need for such concerns, and the folded diaper 30 can be taken out smoothly from one end or the other end of the diaper bundle. In addition, since the grip portion 10 of the disposal tape 9 is located so as to face the adjacent folded diaper 30, the grip portion 10 does not come into strong contact with the inner surface of the container 33 even from other locations. When taking out the diaper from the container 33, the grip part 10 can be taken out smoothly without getting caught.

The grip part 10 is formed at the upper end of the disposal tape 9 (the upper end with respect to the vertical direction of the diaper), and the take-out part of the container 33 can be formed in the direction in which the second fold 25 of the folded diaper 30 faces. It is preferable that When the disposal tape 9 is folded in a Z-shape or the like in the cross section in the vertical direction of the diaper, a grip part 10 is formed at the upper end of the outermost layer of the folded disposal tape 9, and a grip part 10 is formed at the upper end of the outermost layer of the folded disposal tape 9. However, it is preferable that the second fold line 25 of the folded diaper 30 can be formed in the direction facing. In FIGS. 7 and 8, the diaper package 40 is configured in this manner. By configuring the diaper packaging body 40 in this way, it becomes easy to take out the folded diaper 30 from the container 33 by grasping the second fold 25, and when taking out the diaper from the container 33, it is possible to easily remove the folded diaper 30 from the container 33 by holding the tab of the disposal tape 9. The portion 10 is less likely to be caught on the folded diaper 30 disposed adjacent to it.

In the diaper bundle, it is preferable that the first main surfaces 31 of the plurality of folded diapers 30 stacked up are arranged so as to face each other at only one place. If the diaper bundle is formed in this manner, the number of locations where the grip portions 10 of the disposal tape 9 are arranged facing each other can be minimized. Therefore, when taking out the folded diaper 30 from the container 33, contact between the tabs 10 of the folded diapers 30 arranged adjacent to each other is minimized, and the tabs 10 are less likely to get caught. . In FIGS. 6 to 8, the diapers 30 folded in this manner are stacked.

The first main surfaces 31 may be arranged facing each other in any part of the diaper bundle. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, even if the folded diaper 30 located at one end of the diaper bundle and the folded diaper 30 adjacent thereto are arranged with their first principal surfaces 31 facing each other, As shown in FIG. 8, the first main surfaces 31 of adjacent folded diapers 30 may be arranged to face each other at other locations. Further, the first main surfaces 31 of adjacent folded diapers 30 may be arranged to face each other at multiple locations in the diaper bundle, and the second main surfaces 32 of adjacent folded diapers 30 may be arranged to face each other. may be placed.

It is preferable that the grip portion 10 of the disposal tape 9 be located further back than the rear end of the absorbent core 5. In detail, it is preferable that at least a part of the grip part 10 of the waste tape 9 be located behind the rear end of the absorbent core 5, and that the entire grip part 10 be located behind the rear end of the absorbent core 5. It is also more preferable that the position is also located at the rear. The folded diaper 30 is thicker in the area where the absorbent core 5 is present, especially in the area where the absorbent core 5 is folded, so the disposable tape 9 is attached to the thicker area of the folded diaper 30. When the portion 10 is positioned, the grip portion 10 tends to come into strong contact with the adjacent folded diaper 30. However, if the grip portion 10 of the disposal tape 9 is provided as described above, the grip portion 10 will strongly grip the adjacent folded diaper 30 when the folded diaper 30 is stored in the container 33. This makes contact difficult, and the grip portion 10 becomes less likely to get caught when taking out the diaper from the container 33.

From the same point of view, in the folded diaper 30, the folded both sides 21 in the width direction are separated from each other, and the tabs 10 of the disposal tape 9 overlap the separated parts of the folded sides 21 in the width direction. It is preferable that the In this case, since the thickness of the folded diaper 30 becomes thinner in the portion overlapping with the separating portion, it becomes difficult for the grip portion 10 to come into strong contact with the adjacent folded diaper 30. The part 10 is less likely to get caught.
