An absorbent articlecomprises a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheetand a liquid retentive absorbent coreinterposed between the topsheetand the backsheet, a sheet-like member, which is provided at a side edge portionthereof with an elastic member, and which is fixed to the backsheetside at an edge portiontoexcluding the side edge portionwhere the elastic memberis disposed, the absorbent articlebeing deformed such that a concavity is formed on the topsheetside, the absorbent articlebeing put on a wearer while maintaining such a deformed configuration by the sheet-like member

Absorbent article

A disinfecting deodorant comprising an aqueous solution containing 10 to 1000 ppm of a chlorine-containing oxidizing agent and having a pH adjusted to 8 to 13 with an inorganic salt or an organic salt, a disinfecting and deodorizing method comprising applying the disinfecting deodorant to air or an object, and a disinfecting and deodorizing tool comprising a container having the disinfecting deodorant, the container being equipped with a prescribed atomizing means designed to atomize the disinfecting deodorant into a mist comprising droplets having a particle size of 10 &#x3bc;m or smaller in a proportion of 2% or less in number in a particle frequency distribution.

Disinfecting and deodorizing agent

An absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable topsheet , a liquid impermeable backsheet , and a liquid retentive absorbent member and containing a porous deodorizing agent, wherein the porous deodorizing agent has such pores that the volume of the pores whose diameter ranges from 20 to 200 &angst; is 0.2 ml/g or more, preferably 0.6 ml/g or more.

A moist wipe package 1 comprising moist wipes 11 and a storing body 12 for storing the moist wipes 11 therein, the storing body 12 having a generally rectangular parallelepiped body formed from a generally square sleeve-like packing material whose opposite ends are open, an outlet opening 13 through which said moist wipes 11 are withdrawn being formed in one surface 12a of the packing material, opposite side edge portions 12a', 12a' of one surface 12a and/or opposite side edge portions 12b', 12b' of the other surface 12b opposing the one surface 12a being enhanced in rigidity so that they may have self-supporting properties, and the one surface 12a and the other surface 12b being sealed at the opposite ends, the sealed opposite ends 12d, 12d being fixed so that the one surface 12a forms opposing two end faces 12e in the generally rectangular parallelepiped body.

Moist wipe package

A fiber for clothing, the fiber having a layer of crosslinked enzyme protein on a surface of a single fiber or a monofilament thereof; and a method for producing the fiber for clothing having the steps of immersing a fiber into a solution containing an enzyme protein to adsorb the enzyme protein onto a surface of a single fiber or a monofilament thereof, and crosslinking the enzyme protein adsorbed on the surface of the single fiber or the monofilament with a crosslinking agent.
