Patent ID: 7270652

Claim:
An interlabial pad, having a body side face oriented towards a body side, and an opposite body side face oriented towards a side opposite to the body side face, being substantially formed to a longitudinal shape having a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction, and to be fitted between labia by a wearer setting a finger on the opposite body side face along the longitudinal direction in a fitting process, the interlabial pad comprising: a surface side sheet positioned at the body side face; a back face side sheet positioned at the opposite body side face; an absorbent which has a predetermined thickness and absorbs and holds body fluids, being provided between the surface side sheet and the back face side sheet; and a transmitting region provided between the surface side sheet and the back face side sheet and provided on at least part of a region located adjacent to a central axis in the longitudinal direction, the transmitting region transmitting a sensation of a touch of the finger to the wearer's body in a thickness direction of the interlabial pad, and the transmitting region having a portion which has a value of linearity of a compression characteristic in a range from 0.10 to 0.50 that is lower in the value of linearity of a compression characteristic and is more easily compressed in the thickness direction by a pressing pressure of the wearer's finger than other regions that are peripheral regions of the transmitting region, wherein a difference in the values of linearity of the compression characteristic between the transmitting region and the other regions that are peripheral regions of the transmitting region is in a range from 0.05 to 0.50.
