Foldable Hygiene Bag with Absorbent Insert for Cost-Effective Production
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hygiene bags for men, particularly those designed for penis accommodation, are often uncomfortable and complex to manufacture, leading to high production costs due to their intricate shapes.
Innovation Solution
A hygiene bag consisting of simple geometric shapes, preferably squares or rectangles, with a foldable design that includes an absorbent pad and a liquid-impermeable outer layer, allowing for easy production on high-speed machines and minimizing material waste. The bag features a multi-layer structure with a breathable outer layer and a permeable inner layer for efficient fluid absorption and comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If hygiene bags are designed with intricate shapes to fit body parts, then comfort and functionality are improved, but manufacturing complexity and production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The hygiene bag is divided into two subsections (front and rear sections) that are joined together, allowing each section to be manufactured separately using simple geometric shapes while maintaining overall functionality and comfort
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the geometric parameters of the blank from complex curved shapes to simple rectangles or squares, making manufacturing easier while adjusting the fit through the joining mechanism of two subsections rather than through complex overall shaping
2Adaptability or versatility
If hygiene bags are designed with complex shapes, then functionality is improved, but production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
Dividing the hygiene bag into two subsections allows each to be manufactured using simple, cost-effective processes while maintaining the overall functionality through their joined configuration
Solution Approach 2:
Both subsections use the same basic rectangular geometry and material composition, standardizing the manufacturing process and reducing costs while achieving functional versatility through their combined structure
3Reliability
If the opening is made smaller for better containment, then fluid containment is improved, but insertion difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The joining mechanism of the two subsections allows the opening to be dynamic - wide during insertion to facilitate ease of use, then can be adjusted or sealed to provide better containment during use
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design enables cost-effective and efficient production while ensuring comfort and effective fluid containment, reducing the complexity and expense associated with traditional designs.
Implementation Method 1
an absorbent pad is arranged on the inside of the blank
Implementation Method 2
a breathable material, i.e., a material permeable to water vapor but not to liquids

AI summary
A hygiene bag for accommodating a body part, more particularly the penis, is claimed, which sanitary bag consists of at least one blank (2) with two portions (A, B) each of which has the shape of a square and is folded along a fold line (F1, F2), wherein the two portions (A and B) have the same length from fold line (F1, F2) to the edge (4, 5, 6, 7) facing away from the fold line, characterised in that a suction insert (3) is arranged on the inside of the section (2). The hygiene bag has the advantage that it consists of simple geometric shapes and makes possible a simple and cost-effective production, also with high-speed machines.
