Problems solved by technology

Although menstruation is a normal biological process in a female's life, many find the subject embarrassing.
Moreover, both men and women are especially anxious when speaking about or dealing with the items used during menstruation, namely feminine napkins and tampons.
Although these smaller feminine hygiene products have greatly improved a woman's ability to hide feminine hygiene products for use, nothing has been done to improve a woman's ability to hide feminine hygiene products after use.
Although she has flushed away any evidence that she is using a feminine hygiene product, her actions could have costly consequences down the road.
Over time, the flushed feminine hygiene products could eventually become lodged in a plumbing system.
Although this method of disposal will not cause any plumbing problems, much toilet paper is needlessly wasted and other persons who use the restroom will see the wadded-up toilet

first embodiment

[0033] With reference to FIG. 1, a front view of the present invention is shown. The disposal bag 1 has an opaque bag portion 2 and a means for sealing 3. The bag portion 2 is opaque so as to hide the contents, for example, a feminine napkin 4, of the disposal bag 1. The sealing means is preferably a zipper 5, which allows a person to securely seal the contents of the disposal bag 1. To use the present invention, a person simply inserts the item he or she wishes to discard into the open end 8 of the disposal bag 1. Then, the person seals the bag 1 via the sealing means 3. Because the bag portion 2 has a closed bottom end 9, the contents are now sealed within the disposal bag 1.

second embodiment

[0034] In FIG. 2, a side view of the present invention is shown. The disposal bag 1 utilizes snaps 7 as a means for sealing 3. In addition, the bag portion 2 is longer and narrower so as to accommodate a tampon 6.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 3, a downward view of the open end 8 of the embodiment of FIG. 2 is shown. The tampon 6 is placed in the disposal bag 1 so as to be completely surrounded by the bag portion 2.

third embodiment

[0036] In FIG. 4, a side view of the present invention is shown. The disposal bag 1 utilizes an adhesive strip 10 as its sealing means 3 so as to prevent the contents of the disposal bag 1 from falling out. The adhesive strip 10 is preferably located on the inner portions of the open end 8.

[0037] The present invention is preferably made of a plastic material that produces little to no noise when handled so as to afford greater discretion. In addition, the disposal bags 1 may come in a variety of shapes and sizes so as to accommodate various sized personal hygiene products, such as feminine napkins, tampons, adult diapers, baby diapers, liners, underpads and any other personal hygiene item where discreet and sanitary disposal is desired.

[0038] The use of the present invention will allow persons to discreetly dispose of personal hygiene items in a sanitary manner.
