Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

The present invention provides a cleaning material for the anal area, more specifically, it is capable of easily removing excrement remaining in the anal area after wiping the excrement with ordinary toilet paper after defecation, and By applying oil to the skin around the anus before defecating, it prevents excrement from sticking to the skin during the next defecation and makes it easier to wipe off, keeping the area around the anus clean and, in turn, preventing hemorrhoids. The present invention relates to a cleaning material useful for preventing the deterioration of the above. Toilet paper is generally used to wipe and clean the anus after defecation, but warm water cleaners and clean cotton are also used in some cases. From the standpoint of removing skin irritation and dirt, hot water washing is the most desirable, but hot water washing machines are expensive and cumbersome to use, so they have not become widespread. Clean cotton has a high cost per use and feels cold when used.
Moreover, it has drawbacks such as not being able to be flushed down the toilet.
For this reason, when cleaning the anus after defecation,
In reality, toilet paper and tissue paper are the most commonly used. The skin around the anus has fine folds, wrinkles,
The hair makes it difficult for feces to get into these tiny areas and wipe them clean. Furthermore, the remaining feces that adheres to the body solidifies and becomes difficult to remove. On the other hand, about 70% of the commonly used toilet paper and tissue paper is made from recycled waste paper, which is physically hard and is often kneaded to make it soft before use.
However, it will still cause minor abrasions to the skin. In addition, feces that remain on the skin become a breeding ground for bacteria, and the decomposition products produced by the feces can aggravate the deterioration of damaged skin and cause itching, rashes, and sores around the anus. Cleaning the anal area is extremely important for public health and for the general public. This is especially important for people with sensitive skin, bedridden elderly people, and people suffering from anal diseases such as hemorrhoids. are more sensitive to stimulation and feel pain more easily. As a result, the wiping force is weakened, resulting in insufficient wiping and an increase in the amount of remaining feces, which is a repeated negative result. In addition, some people with hemorrhoids, such as internal hemorrhoids or mild anal prolapse, have to push the internal hemorrhoids or anal prolapse that protrudes outside the anus after defecating to prevent pain caused by friction between underwear and the affected area. There is. In this case, the current situation is to put up with the pain and try to push it in with your fingers, so something that physically makes it easier to push in is desired. In view of the current situation, the present inventor has developed a toilet paper that is simple and easy to use after defecating, can sufficiently remove excrement remaining after wiping with toilet paper, and can keep the anal area clean. As a result of intensive research to develop a cleaning material that gives a smooth and refreshing feeling after use, it was discovered that the above object could be achieved by using a specific oil, and the present invention was completed. That is, the present invention provides a perianal area cleaning material in which a support contains one or more oils selected from the group consisting of jojoba oil, squalane, and glycerin tri-2-ethylhexanoate. It is something. The oil used in the present invention is smooth to the touch, has good compatibility with the skin in the special area around the anus, has no skin irritation, and has a smooth, refreshing texture. It is necessary to provide a feeling of use, and jojoba oil, squalane, and glycerin tri-2-ethylhexanoate can be used for this purpose. Liquid paraffin, olive oil, and lanolin, which have been commonly used as baby oil and cosmetic oils, are undesirable because they leave a sticky feeling when used around the anus. The oils used in the present invention may be used alone or in combination of two or more. In addition to the above-mentioned oil, the cleaning and wiping material of the present invention may contain medicinal agents such as bactericides and anti-inflammatory agents, fragrances, and the like, if desired. Further, the support used in the present invention includes paper, nonwoven fabric,
Examples include cloth, polymer film, sponge, and sponge, but paper and nonwoven fabric are particularly preferred in view of ease of use and treatment after use. The basis weight of the support is not particularly limited, but for example, paper has a basis weight of 20 to
200 g/m, preferably about 30 to 300 g/m for nonwoven fabrics. When the impregnation rate is high, the method for impregnating the support with an oil-based base is to directly impregnate the support with the oil and then remove excess oil by applying pressure or the like; This can be carried out by a method such as spraying onto a support. In addition, if the impregnation rate is low, it can be carried out by mixing an organic solvent such as n-hexane with the above oil, operating in the same manner as above, and then removing the organic solvent, but this method is not limited to these methods. It's not a thing. The amount of impregnation varies depending on the material of the support and the composition of the impregnating liquid, but for example, when the support is paper, it is 40~
200%, preferably about 50 to 400% in the case of nonwoven fabric. A method of using the cleaning material for the anal area of the present invention is, for example, after wiping with toilet paper after defecation, or when changing a diaper, use the product of the present invention to finish wiping. preferable. Furthermore, the effect can be further enhanced by wiping the anal area with the product of the present invention after bathing or before defecating. Although there are no limitations on the wiping method, the product of the present invention can be used as it is or placed on toilet paper or the like. A more detailed explanation will be given below with reference to Examples. Example 1 A 20 x 20 cm soft toilet paper-like paper was 100% impregnated with an oil-based base having the composition shown in Table 1 below, and 10 people suffering from hemorrhoids were given regular wipes with toilet paper after defecation. After doing so, we asked them to use the product and examined its usability. The results are shown in Table 1. Evaluation criteria
