The thickness direction Z may be a direction that defines the thickness of the packaging body 1 (packaging sheet 20).

As shown in FIG. 1, the package 1 has an absorbent article 10, a packaging sheet 20, and an inspection unit 30.

The absorbent article 10 is an article capable of absorbing the wearer's excrement. The absorbent article 10 may be an absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin, panty liner, incontinence pad, stool pad. The absorbent article may be an article that is attached and used inside a worn article such as underwear. The absorbent article 10 of this embodiment is a sanitary napkin.

The wrapping sheet 20 is a sheet for individually wrapping the absorbent articles 10. By removing the packaging sheet 20 when the absorbent article 10 is used, the absorbent article 10 is exposed and can be used.

The packaging sheet 20 may be made of any sheet-like material such as a non-woven fabric, a woven fabric, a perforated plastic sheet, and a mesh sheet. As a material for woven fabrics and non-woven fabrics, both natural fibers and chemical fibers can be used.

As shown in FIG. 1, the wrapping sheet 20 may have a first edge 21e and a second edge 22e, which are edges of the wrapping sheet 20 in the longitudinal direction X (see the lower figure of FIG. 11).

The inspection unit 30 is for inspecting the health condition of the wearer. The inspection unit 30 displays the health condition of the wearer according to the target component contained in the excrement of the wearer. In the present embodiment, the inspection unit 30 is fixed to the packaging sheet 20. Therefore, it should be noted that the packaging sheet 20 and the inspection unit 30 are separate bodies.

Here, the wearer removes the absorbent article 10 from the body after use and replaces the absorbent article 10. When replacing the absorbent article 10, the wearer removes the new absorbent article 10 from the packaging sheet 20 and uses it. Since the inspection unit 30 is fixed to the removed packaging sheet 20 with the packaging sheet 20, the inspection unit 30 can be used for excrement adhering to the absorbent article 10 removed from the body. Since the wearer does not need to carry the inspection unit 30 separately, the health condition can be easily inspected.

The inspection unit 30 displays the health condition of the wearer with an indicator. More specifically, in the reaction unit 40 included in the inspection unit 30, the health condition of the wearer is displayed by an indicator. In this embodiment, for example, an immunochromatography method or a test strip method can be used to inspect the health condition.

The immunochromatography method is performed by dropping excrement (for example, blood) onto a member (for example, a cellulose membrane) on which labeled particles containing an antibody are spread. When the excrement contains a target component (antigen) to be tested, the target component and the antibody cause an antigen-antibody reaction to form a complex. The formed complex moves on the membrane by capillarity. Another type of antibody (indicator) is linearly arranged at the destination of the complex. The complex binds to another type of antibody and develops color. The presence or absence of coloration (color change) indicates the health condition of the wearer. The wearer can confirm the health condition by visually determining the presence or absence of coloration.

In the test paper method, the indicator contained in the inspection unit 30 reacts with the target component contained in the excrement to develop a color. The health condition of the wearer is indicated by the presence or absence of coloration (change in the color of the indicator). The wearer can confirm the health condition by visually determining the coloration (change in color of the indicator) by the indicator.

The excrement includes, for example, blood, urine, stool, sweat and the like. Items indicating health status are, for example, physical condition-related (pH, iron deficiency anemia, renal function, myocardial infarction, inflammation / infectious disease, nutritional status evaluation, etc.), pregnancy-related (physiological cycle prediction, ovulation prediction, etc.), mental-related. (Depression tendency, drugs, etc.). The target components to be tested are, for example, urinary waste products (urine specific gravity), leukocytes, hydrogen ions (pH), proteins, glucose, ketones, urobilinogen, bilirubin, urinary occult blood, nitrites, steroids, peptides, aromatics. Compounds, FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), BUN (Urea nitorogen), AlB (Albumin), LPS (lipopolysaccharide), hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), LH (yellow body stimulating hormone), U-ALB, CRP (C-reactib)・ Protein), myoglobin, CK-MB, troponin I, troponin T, hemoglobin, strep A, HBs antibody, HIV antibody, TP antibody, rotavirus, influenza virus, adenovirus, DNA, O-157, cocaine, marijuana, morphine Is given as an example.

The reaction unit 40 (inspection unit 30) has a contact unit 42. The contact portion 42 is a portion to which excrement is brought into contact in order to display a health condition. The reaction unit 40 (inspection unit 30) may have a display unit 44 as described later. The display unit 44 is a portion that displays the health condition of the wearer by an indicator according to the target component contained in the excrement.

For example, in the later lateral flow test, the contact portion 42 includes at least the region where the labeled particles containing the antibody are arranged. When the excrement touches the contact portion 42, the target component (antigen) contained in the excrement and the antibody cause an antigen-antibody reaction to form a complex. The display unit 44 includes at least a region in which an indicator (another type of antibody) that binds to the complex and develops a color is arranged. Therefore, when the immunochromatography method is used, the contact portion 42 and the display portion 44 are arranged at different positions. On the other hand, in the test strip method, the contact portion 42 includes at least the region where the indicator is arranged. Since the indicator contained in the contact portion 42 reacts with the target component to develop a color, the contact portion 42 and the display portion 44 are arranged at the same position. Therefore, in this case, the contact portion 42 and the display portion 44 are the same.

As described above, when the test strip method is used, the contact portion 42, that is, the display portion 44 includes an indicator for displaying the health condition of the wearer. When the immunochromatography method is used, the contact portion 42 contains the labeled particles, and the display portion 44 contains an indicator for displaying the health condition of the wearer. If the contact portion 42 is provided only for guiding the excrement (target component) to the display portion 44, the contact portion 42 does not need to include an indicator.

The indicator is a chemical substance (inorganic substance, organic substance) that develops color by reacting with the target component or a component derived from the target component (for example, a complex).

The inspection unit 30 may be a member capable of holding the indicator. In the present embodiment, the inspection unit 30 may be a member that can be fixed to the packaging sheet 20. The inspection unit 30 may be made of any material such as paper, non-woven fabric, woven fabric, and resin film.

The inspection unit 30 may have a main body unit 32 that supports the reaction unit 40. The reaction unit 40 may be fixed on the main body unit 32. That is, the reaction unit 40 may be provided on the main body unit 32. The inspection unit 30 may be a lead tape that is peeled off from the packaging sheet in order to open the packaging body 1. More specifically, the main body 32 has a function as a lead tape. Since the lead tape is used as the inspection unit 30, it is not necessary to add a new member to the package 1 as the inspection unit 30. As a result, even if the package 1 has the inspection unit 30, the production efficiency of the package 1 does not have to be reduced.

The inspection unit 30 (lead tape) is fixed to the packaging sheet 20 by an adhesive unit (not shown).

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the contact portion 42 (reaction portion 40) may overlap the packaging sheet 20 in the thickness direction Z. More specifically, in the region where the contact portion 42 overlaps the packaging sheet 20 in the thickness direction Z, the inspection portion 30 may be fixed to the packaging sheet 20. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the wearer brings the inspection unit 30 (contact portion 42) into contact with the excrement E from the surface of the packaging sheet 20 on the side opposite to the surface on which the contact portion 42 is arranged. Can be done. In this case, the excrement E can be brought into contact with the contact portion 42 without the wearer's finger touching the excrement E. Therefore, the wearer can hygienically inspect the health condition. Further, since the wearer's finger does not touch the contact portion 42, the indicator does not react with the target component other than the excrement E (specifically, the target component attached to the finger), and the inspection accuracy can be improved.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inspection unit 30 may be arranged so as to straddle the first edge 21e of the packaging sheet 20 (that is, the first sheet portion 21). Therefore, the inspection unit 30 may be arranged so as to straddle the first sheet portion 21 and the second sheet portion 22. Further, the inspection unit 30 (main body unit 32) extends from the first edge 21e to the outside of the packaging sheet 20 in the opened state where the fixing unit 32a fixed to the packaging sheet 20 and the packaging body 1 are opened. It may have an extension portion 32b (see FIG. 3). In the packaged state, the fixing portion 32a may be arranged on the first sheet portion 21, and the extending portion 32b may be arranged on the second sheet portion 22. In the present embodiment, the inspection unit 30 has a reaction unit 40 (contact unit 42) in the fixing unit 32a.

Here, when the inspection unit 30 is a lead tape, the wearer may grasp the extension unit 32b and open the package 1. Therefore, the presence of the reaction portion 40 in the fixing portion 32a makes it difficult for the wearer's finger to touch the contact portion 42. When the wearer's finger does not touch the contact portion 42, the indicator does not react with the target component other than the excrement E (specifically, the target component attached to the finger), and the inspection accuracy can be improved.

The main body portion 32 may have a folded-back portion 34 in which the end portion of the main body portion 32 in the longitudinal direction X is folded back. As a result, the wearer can easily peel off the lead tape (inspection portion 30) by gripping the folded-back portion 34.

Next, the package 1 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the inspection unit 30 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view for explaining a usage state of the inspection unit 30 according to the second embodiment. The description of the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment will be omitted.

In the second embodiment, the contact portion 42 (reaction portion 40) is arranged in the extension portion 32b. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, since the extending portion 32b extends to the outside of the packaging sheet 20, the wearer holds the packaging sheet 20 and is in contact with the extending portion 32b. The part 42 can be brought into contact with the excrement E. As a result, the wearer's finger can keep a certain distance from the excrement E. Therefore, the wearer can bring the excrement E into contact with the contact portion 42 without touching the excrement E and the contact portion 42. Therefore, the wearer can hygienically inspect the health condition.

Next, the package 1 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a usage state of the inspection unit 30 according to the third embodiment. The description of the same parts as those of the above-described embodiments will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, the inspection unit 30 (reaction unit 40) has a display unit 44. The display unit 44 is arranged between the main body unit 32 and the packaging sheet 20 in the thickness direction Z. That is, the first surface 44a, which is one main surface of the display unit 44, is covered with the main body 32, and the second surface 44b, which is the other main surface of the display unit 44, is the packaging sheet 20 (first sheet). It is covered with part 21). Therefore, the display unit 44 is not exposed. As a result, even if the wearer unintentionally touches the display portion 44, the wearer can directly touch the indicator by touching the portion covered with the main body portion 32 or the packaging sheet 20. Can be suppressed. Thereby, even if the indicator can damage the skin, the safety of the wearer can be enhanced.

Further, the display unit 44 may be able to visually recognize the coloration by the indicator indicating the health condition while the display unit 44 is covered with the main body unit 32 and the packaging sheet 20. As a result, even if the display unit 44 is covered with the main body unit 32 and the packaging sheet 20, the wearer can visually recognize the coloration by the indicator. Therefore, it is possible to easily grasp the health condition indicated by the display unit 44 while enhancing the safety of the wearer.

For example, the main body 32 may be transparent or semi-transparent, and the wearer may be able to visually recognize the coloration through the main body 32. The main body 32 may be colorless and transparent. This makes it easier to visually recognize the coloration. Further, the packaging sheet 20 has a transparent or semi-transparent property, and the wearer may be able to visually recognize the coloration through the packaging sheet 20. The packaging sheet 20 may be colorless and transparent. This makes it easier to visually recognize the coloration.

In the present invention, "visible" means a distance of about 30 to 50 cm in a room (reference: 500 to 750 lux (lux)) brightly illuminated with neutral white (color temperature guideline 4600 to 5400 K (Kelvin)). This means that a subject having good visual acuity (1.0 or more) in both eyes can visually recognize the object when he / she sees the object.

In the present embodiment, the first surface 44a is a surface fixed to the main body 32, and the second surface 44b is a surface fixed to the packaging sheet 20. The coloration by the indicator may be visible from the side of the first surface 44a. The display unit 44 on the first surface 44a side may contain more indicator than the display unit 44 on the second surface 44b side. Therefore, the coloration by the indicator may be more easily visible on the first surface 44a side than on the second surface 44b side. The coloration by the indicator may be visible only on the first surface 44a side. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the wearer can visually recognize the coloration from the surface opposite to the surface to which the excrement E is attached (the side of the main body 32), so that the obstruction of the visibility due to the adhesion of the excrement E is suppressed. can. As a result, the coloration can be confirmed more accurately.

In addition, the coloration by the indicator may be visible from the side of the second surface 44b. The display unit 44 on the second surface 44b side may contain more indicator than the display unit 44 on the first surface 44a side. Therefore, the coloration by the indicator may be more easily visible on the second surface 44b side than on the first surface 44a side. The coloration by the indicator may be visible only on the second surface 44b side. As a result, even if the exposed main body 32 becomes dirty, the coloration can be visually recognized from the side of the second surface 44b which is not exposed in the packaged state, so that the coloration can be confirmed more accurately.

As shown in FIG. 6, at least a part of the contact portion 42 may be exposed from the first edge 21e of the packaging sheet 20 in the opened state in order to facilitate contact with the excrement E.

At least one of the main body portion 32 and the packaging sheet 20 may have water repellency, similarly to the water repellent portion 50 described later.

Next, the package 1 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the inspection unit 30 according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB shown in FIG. The description of the same parts as those of the above-described embodiments will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the inspection unit 30 has a contact unit 42 and a display unit 44. A part of the contact portion 42 is covered with the water repellent portion 50.

Even if the wearer unintentionally touches the contact portion 42, by touching the portion covered with the water-repellent portion 50 having water repellency, the target component attached to the wearer's finger or the like comes into contact with the contact portion 42. It is possible to suppress direct contact with the portion 42. As a result, it is possible to prevent the symmetrical component from touching the contact portion 42 from the excrement other than the excrement to be inspected, and the inspection accuracy can be improved.

In the present embodiment, the inspection unit 30 has a main body unit 32 to which the reaction unit 40 (contact unit 42 and display unit 44) is fixed. As shown in FIG. 8, the contact portion 42 may have a first surface 42a, a second surface 42b, and a third surface 42c. The first surface 42a is a surface fixed to the main body 32. The second surface 42b is a surface opposite to the first surface 42a. The third surface 42c is a surface connecting the first surface 42a and the second surface 42b.

The second surface 42b is covered with the water repellent portion 50. At least a part of the third surface 42c is exposed from the water repellent portion 50. For example, the water-repellent portion 50 may be provided by performing a water-repellent treatment in which a water-repellent agent is attached (applied) to a part of the contact portion 42 by a water-repellent spray, a coating device, or the like. The member constituting the main body 32 of the inspection unit 30 may be impregnated with the water repellent. The portion (for example, (a part of) the contact portion 42) to which the water repellent agent is not to be attached may be covered with masking tape or the like. The contact portion 42 may be exposed by covering a part of the reaction portion 40 (contact portion 42) with the water repellent portion 50 and then peeling off the masking tape or the like. The second surface 42b may be covered with a water repellent member.

The water repellent may be a silicon-based water repellent or a fluorine-based water repellent. The water repellent agent (water repellent portion 50) is preferably one that does not easily discolor. The water repellent agent (water repellent portion 50) may be permeable or semi-permeable. When covering the display portion 44, the water repellent agent (water repellent portion 50) may be colorless and transparent in order to make the coloration easily visible.

Since the second surface 42b of the contact portion 42 is a surface opposite to the first surface 42a fixed to the main body portion 32, it is a portion exposed from the main body portion 32. Therefore, the second surface 42b of the contact portion 42 is a portion that is easily touched by the wearer. By covering the portion that is easily touched by the wearer with the water-repellent portion 50, it is possible to prevent the wearer from touching the contact portion 42, and the inspection accuracy can be improved. On the other hand, the third surface 42c connecting the first surface 42a and the second surface 42b is a portion that is difficult for the wearer to touch. By exposing the portion that is difficult for the wearer to touch from the water-repellent portion 50, the target component can be brought into contact with the contact portion 42, and an inspection can be performed.

In the present embodiment, the exposed surface of the third surface 42c may be located on the outer edge side of the main body 32 in the width direction. The non-exposed surface whose third surface 42c is covered with the water repellent portion 50 may be located on the end side in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 32.

The display unit 44 may also have a first surface 44a, a second surface 44b, and a third surface 44c, similarly to the contact portion 42. As a result, it is possible to prevent the wearer from directly touching the indicator contained in the display unit 44. Thereby, even if the indicator can damage the skin, the safety of the wearer can be enhanced. Further, the display unit 44 may be able to visually recognize the coloration by the indicator indicating the health condition while the display unit 44 is covered with the water repellent portion 50. As a result, even if the display portion 44 is covered with the water repellent portion 50, the wearer can visually recognize the coloration by the indicator. Therefore, it is possible to easily grasp the health condition indicated by the display unit 44 while enhancing the safety of the wearer.
