A method of evaluating the stickiness of an outer surface of an absorbent article comprises the steps of: (i) providing an absorbent article on a stationary horizontal surface, the absorbent article having an outer surface facing away from the stationary horizontal surface, (ii) affixing an adhesive substrate to the outer surface of the absorbent article, (iii) grasping an end portion of the adhesive substrate, and (iv) lifting the end portion of the adhesive substrate in a direction away from the stationary horizontal surface.吸収性物品の外側表面の接着性を評価する方法は、(i)吸収性物品を静的な水平表面上に提供する工程であって、吸収性物品は静的な水平表面の反対側を向く外側表面を有する、工程と、(ii)接着剤基材を、吸収性物品の外側表面に取り付ける工程と、(iii)接着剤基材の端部を把持する工程と、(iv)接着剤基材の端部を、静的な水平表面から離れる方向に持ち上げる工程とを含む。
