PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disposable diaper capable of preventing the occurrence of staying and backflow of liquid on an abutment surface while securing the softness of the abutment surface, and to provide a method of manufacturing the same.SOLUTION: The disposable diaper has: a transparent top sheet arranged on the abutment surface an absorption body which is arranged at the back surface side of the transparent top sheet and extends from a lower abdomen to a hip along the center in the width direction through a crotch and an intermediate element which is arranged between the transparent top sheet and the absorption body so as to face them. The disposable diaper is characterized in that the transparent top sheet and the intermediate element are composed of thermoplastic non-woven fabrics having cushion properties, the initial thickness of the transparent top sheet is 0.5 to 5.0 mm and its fiber density is 0.5 to 2g/cm3, the initial thickness of the intermediate element is 0.5 to 5.0 mm and its fiber density is 1 to 3g/cm3, and the fiber density of the transparent top sheet is higher than the fiber density of the intermediate element.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】肌当接面の柔らかさを担保しつつ、肌当接面の液残りや逆戻りの発生を防止することができる使い捨て紙おむつ及びその製造方法を提供すること。【解決手段】 肌当接面に設けた透液性トップシートと、前記透液性トップシートの裏面側に配置され、幅方向中央に沿って下腹部から股間部を通り臀部まで延在するように設けた吸収体と、これら透液性トップシートと吸収体の間に、それぞれに臨むように設けた中間要素と、を備えた使い捨ておむつにおいて、前記透液性トップシートおよび中間要素は、クッション性を有する熱可塑性不織布からなり、前記透液性トップシートの初期厚みが0.5~5.0mmで、繊維密度が0.5~2g/cm3であり、前記中間要素の初期厚みが0.5~5.0mmで、繊維密度が1~3g/cm3であり、前記透液性トップシートの繊維密度が、前記中間要素の繊維密度よりも大きい、ことを特徴とする使い捨ておむつ。【選択図】図1
