Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sanitary napkin products lack a reliable binding structure that prevents fluff accumulation, leading to reduced adhesion and ease of separation, resulting in exposure of dirt and inconvenience during use.

Innovation Solution

A sanitary napkin structure featuring a foldable binding strap with a second adhesive portion that does not contact the underwear or sanitary napkin body, combined with a herringbone arrangement of fixing portions to provide anti-pull force, ensuring strong adhesion and ease of use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the fixing strap is bonded to the sanitary napkin body and underwear, then good connection firmness is achieved, but fluff accumulates on the adhesive portions reducing adhesion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection firmnessVSAvoidadhesion reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The binding strap is divided into multiple functional sections: a first binding strap portion for initial binding, a second binding strap portion for reinforcement, and a peeling portion for easy removal. This segmentation allows each portion to perform its specific function optimally without fluff contamination affecting the entire strap's adhesion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive function is extracted from the binding strap itself and transferred to separate adhesive portions that are selectively applied. The first adhesive portion is applied to the first binding strap portion, while the second adhesive portion is applied to the second binding strap portion, allowing controlled adhesion without fluff accumulation on critical bonding surfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Strength

If one end of the fixing strap is fixed to the sanitary napkin body by heat pressing, then connection firmness is achieved, but the fixing strap is easy to be torn off when opened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection firmnessVSAvoidopening convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The first binding strap portion is pre-fixed to the sanitary napkin body at a first position using heat pressing, creating a stable anchor point before use. This preliminary fixation ensures that when the user opens the other end, the strap remains securely attached and cannot be accidentally torn off, while still allowing convenient opening of the peeling portion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the two ends of the fixing strap are pasted together, then binding is achieved, but adhesion is insufficient and easy to be stretched apart

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebinding convenienceVSAvoidbinding strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The first binding strap portion and second binding strap portion are combined to work together in sequence. The first portion provides initial binding with its adhesive portion, and the second portion reinforces the binding when folded back and adhered to the first portion, creating a multi-layered adhesion system that significantly increases binding strength and resistance to stretching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The second binding strap portion acts as an intermediary reinforcement between the first binding strap portion and the sanitary napkin body. When the second portion is folded back and adhered, it creates an intermediate adhesion layer that strengthens the overall binding structure and prevents stretching apart.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

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 ensures firm binding and prevents fluff accumulation, maintaining adhesion and preventing separation, enhancing user convenience and reliability.

Implementation Method 1

A bottom surface of the sanitary napkin body is provided with a first adhesive portion along a length direction of the sanitary napkin body, and one end of the foldable binding strap is fixed to the bottom surface of the sanitary napkin body and is connected to one end of the first adhesive portion

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectAdhesion: Adhesive

Implementation Method 2

since one end of the fixing strap is fixed to the bottom surface of the sanitary napkin body by heat pressing, although it can achieve good connection firmness

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectHeat pressing: Heating
