Abstract
An interlabial pad to be fitted to the labia providing an interlabial pad with flap portions that can maintain the retention state in the interlabial space irrespective of the quantity of body fluid discharge such as menstrual blood. A mini-sheet piece (3) is attached to the opposite side face to the body side face (2b) of the interlabial pad (2) in such a way that a pad of it protrudes from both side edges of the interlabial pad (2) forming flap portions (4A) and (4B). Adhesives (6A) and (6B) are applied to the body side face of the flap portions (4A) and (4B). The interlabial pad (2) is retained in the interlabial space and the flap portions (4A) and (4B) are affixed to the surface of the labia majora to fit the interlabial pad with the flap portions (1).
