A method for packaging an absorbent article assembly that includes following the steps. First and second breast milk absorbent pads are fed onto wrapping sheet web. Next, the first breast milk absorbent pad is displaced from a transverse center line toward an upper end by &#xbc; of a dimension thereof as measured in a longitudinal direction, and the second breast milk absorbent pad is displaced from a transverse center line toward an lower end by &#xbc; of a dimension thereof as measured in a longitudinal direction. Next, the first and second breast milk absorbent pads are folded back from the upper and lower ends toward the transverse center line. Next, the upper and lower ends of the wrapping sheet web are folded back toward the transverse center line. Next, a joint zone is formed between the first and second breast milk absorbent pads and the pads are cut apart.

The present invention includes following the steps of: In a first step, first and second breast milk absorbent pads(),() are fed onto wrapping sheet web. In a second step, the first breast milk absorbent pad() is fed so as to be displaced from a transverse center linetoward an upper endby &#xbc; of a dimension H thereof as measured in a longitudinal direction Y, and the second breast milk absorbent pad() is fed so as to be displaced from a transverse center linetoward an lower endby &#xbc; of a dimension H thereof as measured in a longitudinal direction Y. In a third step, the first and second breast milk absorbent pads() are respectively folded back from the upper and lower endstoward the transverse center linein two-ply fashion. In a fourth step, the upper and lower ends of the wrapping sheet webare folded back toward the transverse center line. In a fifth step, a joint zoneis formed between the first and second breast milk absorbent pads() and these two pads() is cut apart along a cutting line

A breast milk absorbent pad includes side flaps of a breast milk absorbent pad having first portions facing the wearer's skin and second portions facing away from the wearer's skin. The second portions are provided with elastically stretchable/contractible members along transversely opposite outer edges of these second portions.

Breast milk absorbent pad

A breast milk absorbent pad includes elastically stretchable/contractible members arranged along transversely opposite side edges of the pad. Corners where one of the transversely opposite side edges and one of the longitudinally opposite end edges of a pad-chassis join are folded to a non-skin-contactable side. The breast milk absorbent pad is packed in a package with the corners folded.

A breast milk absorbent pad according to the present invention comprises a pad chassis including a body fluid absorbent layer inclusive of a body fluid absorbent assembly and a body fluid leak-barrier sheet, and a pair of elastically stretchable and contractible members extending along transversely opposite sides of the pad-chassis in a longitudinal direction. The body fluid absorbent assembly is embossed so that the body fluid absorbent assembly may be formed along upper and lower ends thereof with high stiffness regions having a stiffness higher than that in the remaining region.

A breast milk absorbent pad which includes first and second sections adapted to cover respective breasts and a third section extending between these first and second sections wherein at least one of upper and lower edges of the third section is concavely curved toward a transverse axis of the breast milk absorbent pad.

An absorbent composite sheet is thin and has a surface to be easily situated in dry condition. The absorbent composite sheet includes at least a first layer and a second layer. The first layer placed on the side of receiving a liquid is a non-woven fabric fabricated from thermoplastic synthetic resin fibers. The second layer stacked below the first layer is a non-woven fabric fabricated by entangling cellulose type fibers and thermoplastic synthetic resin fibers. The first layer and the second layer are joined by fuse bonding synthetic resin fibers of the first layer and synthetic resin fibers of the second layer. The liquid applied on a surface of the first layer is transferred to the second layer through gaps between synthetic resin fibers of the first layer.

A disposable surgical gown includes a main body including a front body and a back body; and sleeves extending from both sides of upper ends of the main body. The main body comprises a plurality of assembly sheets having air permeability and liquid non-permeability. The assembly sheets are bonded to each other along a continuous bonding line extending along edges of the sheets.

Disposable surgical gown

A disposable surgical gown of back-closable type includes a basic body composed of a front body, first and second rear bodies separated from each other and a pair of sleeves. The first and second rear bodies are in advance developed in a circumferential direction and folded back onto the front body so that free side edge regions of the rear bodies lie on the outer surface of the front body. The free side edge regions are connected to each other by a tape member which has its transversely opposite side regions bonded to the respective free side edge regions at longitudinally middle zones thereof so as to extend in the circumferential direction and a perforation extending in a longitudinal direction between the opposite side regions along which perforation 16 the tape member may be cut off in two in the circumferential direction.

Disposable surgical gown of back-closable type

A disposable underwear is formed by laying a front body and a back body one on top of the other, providing a bonded portion on at least one of the left and right side edges, and providing leg openings and a waist opening. The disposable underwear includes a tightening member in the vicinity of the waist opening. The front and back bodies further comprise a non-bonded portion formed at the portion between the tightening member and the bonded portion.
