PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a problem that it is difficult to surely change the posture of a rolled sanitary sheet conveyed at a high speed on the way of the conveyance and to accurately measure the width dimension of the rolled sanitary sheet.SOLUTION: A dimension measuring apparatus 10 for a rolled sanitary sheet 12 includes: a rotor 11 in which a plurality of buckets 16 each of which is rotated around a horizontal axis at a predetermined speed, has a bottom wall 16a for receiving a width-direction one-end face 12F of the cylindrical rolled sanitary sheet 12 and peripheral walls 16b and 16c surrounding the bottom wall 16a, and is capable of storing the rolled sanitary sheet 12 are radially arranged, and a charging position PI to which the rolled sanitary sheet 12 is charged, a measuring position PS on which the width dimension of the rolled sanitary sheet 12 is measured and a discharging position PO from which the rolled sanitary sheet 12 is discharged after the end of measurement are set in the rotational direction of the rotor 11; and a sensor 13 for detecting a position of a width-direction other end face 12R of the rolled sanitary sheet 12 stored in the bucket 16 on the measuring position PS where the bottom wall 16a is turned upward.
