Abstract
A disposable pull-on wearing article folded along a folding zone extending across a crotch region in a transverse direction so that the inner surface of the article comes in contact with itself. The folding zone is formed at a position displaced toward a front waist region so that a front peripheral edge portion of a waist-opening defined by the front waist region lies at a longitudinally lower position than that of a rear peripheral edge portion of the waist-opening defined by a rear waist region.
Claims8
A disposable pull-on wearing article in a folded state, said folded article comprising, in a longitudinal direction, front and rear waist regions opposed to each other, and bonded along side edge portions thereof, and a crotch region positioned between said front and rear waist regions so as to define a waist-opening and a pair of leg-openings, the waist-opening having front and rear peripheral edges which are defined by said front and rear waist regions, respectively;
- wherein
- said article is folded along a folding zone extending across said crotch region in a transverse direction so that an inner surface of said article comes in contact with itself;
- said folding zone is closer to one of said front and rear peripheral edges than the other so that said front and rear peripheral edges of said waist-opening lie at different elevations in said longitudinal direction;
- said article further comprises front and rear waist-opening elastic members extending circumferentially of said waist-opening in said front and rear waist regions, respectively, said front and rear waist-opening elastic members being substantially equally spaced, in said longitudinal direction, from said front and rear peripheral edges, respectively;
- and
- said article has a relaxed, unfolded state in which the front and rear waist-opening elastic members are coelevational throughout an entire circumferential extent of said waist opening.
A pack of a plurality of folded disposable pull-on wearing articles;
- each of said folded article comprising, in a longitudinal direction, front and rear waist regions opposed to each other, and bonded along side edge portions thereof, and a crotch region positioned between said front and rear waist regions so as to define a waist-opening and a pair of leg-openings, the waist-opening having front and rear peripheral edges which are defined by said front and rear waist regions, respectively;
- wherein
- said article is folded along a folding zone extending across said crotch region in a transverse direction so that an inner surface of said article comes in contact with itself;
- said folding zone is closer to one of said front and rear peripheral edges than the other so that said front and rear peripheral edges of said waist-opening lie at different elevations in said longitudinal direction;
- said folded article further comprises front and rear waist-opening elastic members extending circumferentially of said waist-opening in said front and rear waist regions, respectively, said front and rear waist-opening elastic members being substantially equally spaced, in said longitudinal direction, from said front and rear peripheral edges, respectively;
- and
- said article has a relaxed, unfolded state in which the front and rear waist-opening elastic members are coelevational throughout an entire circumferential extent of said waist opening.
