Embodiment Construction

[0043] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 4 , the sanitary article 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a plug 2 and a pad 3 joined by a sheath 4 .

[0044] The plug 2 is roughly cylindrical so that it can be comfortably inserted into the vaginal cavity. The end of the plug 2 that is first inserted into the vaginal cavity in use is referred to as the innermost end 5 of the plug 2 . The end of the plug 2 that is last inserted into the vaginal cavity in use is referred to as the outermost end 6 of the plug 2 . Both the innermost end 5 and the outermost end 6 of the plug 2 are dome-shaped to facilitate insertion and removal of the plug 2 from the vaginal cavity. In another example, the outermost end 6 is flat.

[0045] Plug 2 is typically about 3.5 cm in length and about 1.5 cm in diameter. In other embodiments, these dimensions may vary within reasonable limits; for example 4 cm or less in length and 2 cm or less in diameter. However, in women ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a sanitary article (1) for women to absorb menstrual fluids and the like. The article (1) comprises a plug (2) and a pad (3) joined by a sheath (4). The plug (2) is roughly cylindrical so that it can be comfortably worn in the vaginal cavity. The pad (3) remains outside the vaginal cavity, but has an absorbent layer on the inner side (9) close to the plug (2) and a liquid-impermeable layer on the outer side (10). The sheath (4) comprises a tube of absorbent material for drawing excess menstrual fluid from the plug (2) to the pad (3) and has a layer of liquid-impermeable material on its inner surface . It extends from the outer end (6) of the plug (2) close to the pad (3) to and through the pad (3). In use, the wearer can insert a finger into the sheath (4) from the outside (10) of the pad (3), thereby facilitating insertion of the plug (2) into the vaginal cavity. When the device (1) is in place and the wearer's fingers have been withdrawn, the diameter of the sheath (4) is small enough to avoid any significant pressure on the vaginal opening. A strap (12) is provided extending inside the sheath (4) from the outer end of the bung (2) to facilitate removal of the article (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a sanitary article. More particularly, the present invention relates to a sanitary article for women to absorb menstrual fluid and the like. Background technique [0002] During menstruation, women often choose tampons or sanitary napkins to absorb menstrual fluid. Their choices are influenced by the distinct strengths and weaknesses of tampons and sanitary napkins. [0003] Unlike sanitary napkins, tampons are inserted into the vaginal cavity. This means they are not noticeable even when the user is wearing tight clothing. Women also tended to be less aware that they were using tampons than sanitary pads. These advantages are decisive for many women. [0004] However, tampons have their own disadvantages. Perhaps most importantly, keeping a tampon inserted for too long can lead to toxic shock syndrome and, in some cases, death. Other medical concerns include recommendations against the use of tampons when an int...
