Patent ID: 7195620

Claim:
An interlabial pad, comprising, in a fitted state: a body side face facing a body side; and an opposite body side face facing a side opposite to the body side face, and being formed to a longitudinal shape having a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction; wherein the interlabial pad is fitted by being folded in two so that the opposite body side face faces itself in the lateral direction, and is held between the labia such that at least a part of a portion along a crease contacts a vestibular floor in the labia, the crease being formed by folding the interlabial pad along a folding axis, wherein the interlabial pad is equipped, at a crease-spanning region spanning the crease, with a pressure dispersion means which, in response to a pressure that is applied to the interlabial pad when a wearer moves, prevents the pressure from being directly transmitted to the vestibular floor, wherein the interlabial pad has a fiber aggregate equipped at the crease-spanning region, wherein the pressure dispersion means has fibers oriented so as to cross the crease in order to control a repulsion against the pressure, wherein the pressure dispersion means exhibits a ratio of a maximum tensile strength in a machine direction of the fiber aggregate to a maximum tensile strength in a crosswise direction of the fiber aggregate that is between 0.5 and 2.5, wherein the pressure dispersion means has a Young's modulus which is between 300 kg/mm 2 and 1000 kg/mm 2 , and wherein the pressure dispersion means has a fineness which is between 1.1 detex and 6.6 detex.
