Abstract

[Technical problem] A disposable diaper having excellent performances in both the absorbable capacity and the absorption rate, is provided. [Solution to problem] The above problem is solved by a pad type disposable diaper 200 , in which a top sheet 22 is formed of a thermoplastic nonwoven fabric, and absorbent bodies 23 A and 23 B are formed of a lower layer absorbent body 23 B and an upper layer absorbent body 23 A provided on a front surface of the lower layer absorbent body 23 B, wherein a slit 40 having a predetermined width is provided in the upper layer absorbent body 23 A at least at a crotch portion C 2 so as to extend in a front-back direction, and the slit 40 having the predetermined width is not provided in the lower layer absorbent body 23 B, the top sheet 22 includes a depressed portion 30 that is depressed into the slit 40 , and multiple low permeation portions 80 are provided with intervals at least in the depressed portion 30 , the low permeation portions 80 being portions in which fibers are welded to each other in a state of being compressed in a thickness direction.

Claims (27)

1. A disposable diaper comprising:

a crotch portion;

a front side portion extending to a front side of the crotch portion;

a back side portion extending to a back side of the crotch portion;

an absorbent body provided in a range including the crotch portion in a front-back direction;

a top sheet covering a front surface of the absorbent body; and

an intermediate sheet made of a material having low water retentivity and high liquid permeability that is interposed between the top sheet and the absorbent body, wherein

the top sheet is formed of a thermoplastic nonwoven fabric,

the absorbent body is formed of a lower layer absorbent body and an upper layer absorbent body provided on a front surface of the lower layer absorbent body,

a slit having a predetermined width is provided in the upper layer absorbent body at least at the crotch portion so as to extend in the front-back direction, and the slit having the predetermined width is not provided in the lower layer absorbent body,

the top sheet includes a depressed portion that is depressed into the slit, and

low permeation portions are provided in multiple quantities with intervals at least in the depressed portion, the low permeation portions being portions that are compressed in a thickness direction and portions where fibers of the top sheet are welded to the fibers of the intermediate sheet, and

protruding portions are provided between the low permeation portions, the protruding portions

protruding from a front surface of the top sheet;

being arranged at intervals in a width direction and in a front-back direction of the top sheet;

having a length in the front-back direction of the top sheet that is larger than front-back interval between the protruding portions arranged in the front-back direction; and

having a width in the width direction of the top sheet that is larger than a width interval between the protruding portions arranged in the width direction.

2. The disposable diaper according to claim 1 , wherein an area ratio of the low permeation portions in the depressed portion is greater than or equal to 4%.

3. The disposable diaper according to claim 1 , wherein the low permeation portions, which have a shape elongated in the front-back direction, are intermittently provided in the front-back direction at intervals shorter than a length of each of the low permeation portions in the front-back direction, in the depressed portion.

4. The disposable diaper according to claim 1 , wherein the low permeation portions, which have a shape that continues from a front end to a back end of a region including the low permeation portions, are provided in the depressed portion.

5. The disposable diaper according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of rows of the low permeation portions are provided with intervals in a width direction, at least in the depressed portion.

6. The disposable diaper according to claim 1 , wherein

the protruding portions are arranged in a staggered arrangement, and

the width between the protruding portions arranged in the width direction is 0.5 to 0.9 times the size of the protruding portion in the width direction.

7. The disposable diaper according to claim 1 , wherein

the protruding portions are arranged in a matrix, and

the width between the protruding portions arranged in the width direction is 0.1 to 0.5 times the size of the protruding portions in the width direction.
