Interlabial pad and package thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to an interlabial pad which is attached between female labia, especially to the pad which can be used together with the sanitary napkin, which has a good sealing efficiency with the labia deepest portion when the user moves and can prevent the chance that the leak of the menstrual blood or the dropping off of the pad is occurred. Further the interlabial pad comprises the absorbing sheet portion facing to the body side upon wearing the pad and the support sheet portion backing the absorbing sheet portion. The absorbing sheet portion includes the absorbent body (13a) which is a stick-shaped or a strip-shaped individual absorbent body and contacts with the neighborhood of the ostium vaginae of the user, the absorbent body (13b) which is a flat-shaped individual absorbent body and contacts with at least of the inner wall of the labia of the user, further said absorbent body for contacting ostium vaginae(13a) is disposed along the substantial center line of the body face side of absorbent body for contacting the inner wall of the labia (13b).

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, there have been problems that as for the sanitary napkin used by bringing into contact with garment, it tends to cause the leak of menstrual blood from the gap caused by poor adhesion near the ostium vaginae.

While it tends to cause the foreign feeling and the discomfort as for the tampon on the basis of the nature of its products, and it is difficult to fix into the vagina when a user wears it.

Moreover, it has characteristics that it is difficult to cause the leak of menstrual blood because of higher adhesion to the body than that of the sanitary napkin, and psychological resistance on wearing the interlabial pad is lower than that of the tampon which is inserted into the vagina.

However, in the interlabial pad 24 as shown in FIG. 2, due to the less sealing ability with the deepest portion of the labia when the user is moving wearing the pad, there has been a problem of an occurrence of so-called side leak or a falling of the pad.

If the bonding area is less than the range, the absorbent body for contacting ostium vaginae and absorbent body for contacting the inner wall of the labia are completely separated by the user's action and there is a chance of the pad being incapable of working the function of it.

If the value exceeds the above-described range, it is caused possibly that a behavior of one absorbent body is easily transmitted to the other absorbent body since degrees of freedom of each absorbent body deteriorate.

However, there has been a problem of the bad wear feeling such as stiff and it is remarkable to wear the pad from the outer of the garment.
