An absorbent article includes a liquid permeable topsheet (), a liquid impermeable or water repellent backsheet, and an absorbent member interposed between these sheets. The topsheet () is formed of a nonwoven sheet having high density portions (A) and low density portions (A). Each high density portion (A) and each low density portion (A) are different in density from each other. The high density portions (A) and the low density portions (A) are arranged in planar directions of the topsheet (). The low density portions (A) have a larger amount of a skin care agent () applied thereto than the high density portions (A).

Absorbent article with high and low density portions and skin care agent thereon

An individually package structurehaving an absorbent articlefolded and packaged in a wrapper, the absorbent articlehaving an absorbent bodyand a pair of flapsextending laterally outward from the longitudinal side edges of the absorbent body. The absorbent bodyhas a skin facing side, a garment facing side, and an absorbent core between the skin facing side and the garment facing side. In the package, the absorbent articlehas the flapsfolded over the skin facing side along respective fold lines LF and has an embossed pattern of depressionsformed on and/or near the fold lines.

Individually packaged absorbent article

An absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent memberinterposed between the topsheetand the backsheetis disclosed. The absorbent memberhas a number of compressed partswhich are discrete from one another and concave on the backsheet facing side and/or the topsheet facing side. The compressed part is configured to increase in thickness on absorbing liquid. The compressed part is made up of a thinnest portionand a sloping portion. The sloping portion a gradually changes in thickness to connect to the thinnest portion

Absorbent article

A wrap film comprising a thermoplastic resin composition and having a longitudinal direction elongation at break of less than 100% and a longitudinal direction strength at 5% elongation of 150 cN/10 mm or less is disclosed. The thermoplastic resin composition comprises a polypropylene resin and at least one resin having a flexural modulus of 100 MPa or less selected from an ethylene-propylene rubber and an ethylene-&#x3b1;-olefin copolymer having 4 or more carbon atoms in the &#x3b1;-olefin unit.

Wrap film

A cleaning article comprising an elastomer sheet having a synthetic elastomer disposed on the surface thereof as a cleaning surface, wherein the elastomer sheet has a maximum static frictional force of 9.8 to 29 N. With the cleaning article, a carpet, etc. can easily be cleared of pet hair, etc. clinging thereto.

Absorbent mat for excreta treatment

The wrapping film of the present invention has a sticky surface, convexities, and flat portions of film disposed between the convexities on at least one side, and comprises at least one agent selected from the group consisting of a surface active agent, an adhesive agent, and an oily agent. The wrapping film has a shear adhesion strength of at most 400 cN/25 cm when measured subsequent to bringing said sticky surface into contact with a glass surface having a surface roughness of from 0.7 to 1.5 nm under a pressure of 4 Pa, a shear adhesion strength of at least 700 cN/25 cm when measured subsequent to bringing said sticky surface into contact with said glass surface under a pressure of 4 kPa, and the ratio of the height of the convexities to the thickness of the flat portion ranges from 0.03 to 1.67. The wrapping film may also have a surface with a roughness and waviness (Ra&prime;) of at least 40 nm as measured in a non-extended state, and an elongation at break of at least 10%.
