PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tape-type disposable diaper having a front patch the area of which is small, and also, is easy to bend in the vertical direction while being adjusted to the movement of the wearer.SOLUTION: The shape of the upper edge and the lower edge of the front patch is made into a shape in which recess sections and protruding sections are continuously repeated. Thus, the area of the front patch can be reduced, and the material cost of the diaper can be saved. The tape-type disposable diaper has been made conforming to the idea. Also, the front patch is made easy to bend in the vertical direction while being adjusted to the movement of the wearer by making the shape of the upper edge and the lower edge of the front patch into the shape in which recess sections and protruding sections are continuously repeated. The tape-type disposable diaper has been made conforming to the idea.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【解決課題】本発明は,フロントパッチの面積が少なく,かつ,着用者の動きに合わせて上下方向に折れ曲がりやすいフロントパッチ有するテープ型使い捨ておむつを提供することを解決課題とする。【解決手段】本発明は,フロントパッチの上縁辺と下縁辺の形状を凹部と凸部が連続して繰り返す形状とすることにより,フロントパッチの面積を減らすことができ,おむつの材料コストを削減できるという知見に基づくものである。また,本発明は,フロントパッチの上縁辺と下縁辺の形状を凹部と凸部が連続して繰り返す形状とすることにより,フロントパッチが着用者の動きに合わせて上下方向に折れ曲がりやすくなるという知見に基づくものである。【選択図】図1
