Nipple stick with absorption layer

Abstract

A nipple stick comprising a fabric layer, an adhesion layer, an absorption layer, and a strip-off layer is disclosed, wherein the absorption layer is made of non-woven, cotton or other similar absorptive material and is attached to the center of the inner side of the fabric layer; a cosmetic, cleaning, or whitening lotion/ointment may be applied to the absorption layer before the nipple stick is worn so that the absorption layer can provide protection for the nipple during long periods of use of the nipple stick; and the strip-off layer is made of a waterproof material to allow repeated use of the nipple stick.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] (a) Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a nipple stick, and more particularly to one that is provided with an absorption layer to protect the nipple. [0003] (b) Description of the Prior Art [0004] A nipple stick of the prior art is comprised of a fabric layer, an adhesion layer and a strip-off layer. The adhesion layer is coated on the inner side of the fabric layer and then covered up with the strip-off layer and the nipple stick is cut into a shape of a dot, petal or any other selected shapes. To use the nipple stick, one simply peels away the strip-off layer and adheres the nipple stick directly onto the nipple and its perimeter through its self-adhesive feature. However, because nipples are very sensitive parts of a woman's body, if nipple sticks are continuously worn and fully adhered to the nipples for a long period of time, the nipples can get very uncomfortable and even become allergic or inflamed in worse cases, ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005] The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a nipple stick with an absorption layer attached to the center of the inner surface of an outer fabric layer of the nipple stick. The absorption layer is made of an absorptive material and located at a position to cover the nipple when the nipple stick is worn. Before wearing the nipple stick of the present invention, a few drops of cosmetic lotion such as cold cream or cleansing cream or a certain whitening lotion (ointment) are applied on the absorption layer to provide protection for the nipple while preventing allergy, inflammation or other harm to the nipple.

Problems solved by technology

However, because nipples are very sensitive parts of a woman's body, if nipple sticks are continuously worn and fully adhered to the nipples for a long period of time, the nipples can get very uncomfortable and even become allergic or inflamed in worse cases, particularly with those women who have extraordinarily sensitive physique or who are in a lactation period when the secretion from the nipples are in greater amount than usual.

Furthermore, the prior art is somehow wasteful since its strip-off layer is designed to be disposed of after one use and does not allow repeated use after washing.
