PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce less skin troubles due to rubbing caused by such an incident that both-side outlines and free ends of three-dimensional gathers of an absorbent article rub against the peripheries of legs.SOLUTION: A sanitary napkin 1 includes both-side longitudinal outlines forming wavelike frills and free ends of three-dimensional gathers BS forming wavelike frills. Both-side longitudinal outlines and the free ends of the three-dimensional gathers BS of the sanitary napkin 1 are formed into the wavelike frills respectively, so that, when a user wears it, both-side longitudinal outlines and the free ends of the three-dimensional gathers BS that form the wavelike frills respectively come into point contact with the peripheries of the wearers legs so as to mitigate the feeling of rubbing due to the rubbing thereof against the wearers skin, thereby producing less skin troubles such as pain and a sense of discomfort.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】吸収性物品の両側の外形線及び立体ギャザーの自由端が脚周りに擦れて摩擦による肌トラブルを生じ難くする。【解決手段】生理用ナプキン1の長手方向両側の外形線を波状を成すフリル状に形成するとともに、立体ギャザーBSの自由端を波状を成すフリル状に形成する。生理用ナプキン1の長手方向両側の外形線及び立体ギャザーBSの自由端がそれぞれ波状を成すフリル状に形成されているため、長手方向両側の外形線及び立体ギャザーBSの自由端が装着時に着用者の脚周りに対して点状に接触するようになるため、着用者の肌との間の摩擦による擦れ感が緩和され、痛みや違和感などの肌トラブルが生じ難くなる。【選択図】図1
