DISPOSABLE DIAPER

摘要

The present invention aims to provide a disposable diaper provided with leak-barrier means adapted to intercept body fluids from flowing sideways and thereby to prevent body fluids from leaking to the exterior of the diaper improved to eliminate an anxiety that such leak-barrier means might leave on the wearer's skin a surface imprint. A disposable diaper (1) has a pair of transversely opposite lateral portions (8) in a crotch covering region (5). The respective lateral portions (8) are provided with body fluid leak-barrier means (21) extending in a back-and-forth direction of the diaper (1). The leak-barrier means (21) comprise a plurality of strips (22) made of sheet material having a cantilever stiffness in a range of 10 to 120. These strips (22) are arranged side by side in a width direction of the respective strips (22) and overlap one another in a thickness direction of the respective strips (22). These strips (22) respectively have fixed portions (23) and flexible portions (25).
