Description

  The present invention relates to a sanitary pant, particularly a sanitary pant capable of bathing.

It is a long-standing desire of women to take a bath easily even during menstruation. As a sanitary pants used at the time of menstruation, a sanitary pant combined with an absorbent member is widely known (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-230595), and a person wearing a bandage or a diaper is used.

  However, the conventional sanitary pants have been devised in various ways to prevent physiological fluids from coming out of the sanitary pants, but water is not prevented from entering the sanitary pants from the outside. I couldn't take a bath even if I wore it during menstruation.

  On the other hand, a waterproof wearable device such as Patent Document 2 that can be worn even when taking a bath is a medical short-use pan with a bag for medical purposes, and this wearable device is made of a waterproof fabric as a base material. By tightening the thigh (thigh) with a belt-like detachable piece, water is prevented from entering from the outside.

  However, it is too exaggerated for a healthy person to wear this and take a bath, and it is too conspicuous to enter a hot spring with other people. The abdomen and both thighs are tightened using belt-shaped attachment / detachment pieces, but if tightening is loose, water may enter.

  The present invention is a sanitary pants that a woman at menstruation can easily take a bath, does not give a sense of incongruity even when entering a hot spring with other people, and can be worn under trousers, swimwear, etc. The purpose is to provide.

  The sanitary pants of the present invention are made of a thin and thin film-like material that is elastic, waterproof, and does not allow water to pass through except for the openings at the respective portions corresponding to the trunk and both thighs. It is closed and has a shape smaller than the shape of the person who wears it before use, and the entire inner surface is in close contact with the body so that water does not enter from the outside by spreading while spreading during use.

  As the material for the sanitary pants of the present invention, a material that is elastic, waterproof, thin, and excellent in tensile strength is used. Examples of such a material include natural rubber and Rubber such as synthetic rubber, latex such as natural rubber latex and synthetic latex, synthetic resin such as polyurethane resin, and other materials can be used.

  The thinner the material, the better. However, if it is too thin, there is a problem in terms of tensile strength. If the thickness is too thick, it is difficult to wear under trousers or swimwear, or it can be folded compactly. For example, the thickness is preferably about 0.02 mm to 1 mm, but is not necessarily limited to this range.

  The sanitary pants may be made of a single material or may be made of a plurality of materials such as partially made of different materials. The sanitary pants may be three-dimensionally formed from the beginning, or the developed one may be three-dimensionally assembled by using an adhesive or the like.

  The size of the sanitary pants is smaller than the shape of the person who wears it before use, and it expands and increases when worn. How much it can be made is determined by the physical properties of the material used, the adhesiveness and the degree of pressure when it is worn, etc. For example, it should be stretched 1.5 to 10 times when it is worn. it can.

  When the size of the sanitary pants during use is too important for adhesion, the body is compressed and becomes unsuitable for long-time wearing. Therefore, when used for a relatively short time such as bathing, it is better to increase the adhesion even if the degree of pressure is somewhat strong, but when using for a long time, such as when going out, it is preferable not to compress too much .

  In order to be able to wear sanitary pants for a long time, menstrual fluids can not be absorbed by a sanitary napkin that is used in advance by menstruating menstrual menstrual menstrual bodies and both thighs. You may enable it to arrange | position an additional absorption member in the location of the inner surface of the underpants.

  The size of the sanitary pants may be only one type, but for example, three types of S, M, and L may be prepared according to the shape of the person to wear, or more types may be increased. The shape of the sanitary pants may be shorts or trunks.

  The color of the sanitary pants is preferably an inconspicuous color such as skin color when used together with other people such as hot springs. Also, prepare trousers of various colors, such as the color of the trousers when you go out (especially thin trousers with summer fabric), or if you wear them under the bathing suit so that they do not stand out according to the color of the bathing suit. In some cases, a pattern may be provided.

  The sanitary pants according to the present invention are not only the edges of the openings of the torso and both thighs, but also the entire inner surface of the sanitary pants are in close contact with the body and are used in advance by women at menstruation. A bath that was not able to enter the period of menstruation by wearing the sanitary pants of the present invention because the napkin or the like is fixed and the physiological fluid does not leak out of the sanitary pants and water does not enter from the outside. You can easily get into.

  In addition, the sanitary pants of the present invention are inconspicuous because they are in close contact with the body and do not give a sense of incongruity even if they enter a hot spring with other people.

  Furthermore, since the sanitary pants of the present invention are in close contact with the body and are thin, even when worn under a swimsuit or the like, it is not apparent from the appearance that they can be worn, and swimming can be enjoyed even during menstruation.

  The sanitary pants of the present invention are in close contact with the body and do not leak physiological fluids or odors during menstruation to the outside of the sanitary pants. Even if you wear it, you can't see the line of the sanitary pants and the fashion is good.

  The sanitary pants of the present invention may be disposable, but since it is waterproof, it can be used immediately after wiping with water after rinsing with water. Can be reused in a clean condition. In addition, since the material used is thin and the sanitary pants themselves are small and can be folded small, they can be easily put into a container such as a handbag, and when menstruation starts unexpectedly when going out. it can.

  By selecting a color, the sanitary pants of the present invention can be made inconspicuous even when bathing or wearing pants or a swimsuit on top.

  In the sanitary pants in which the absorbent member of the present invention can be additionally disposed, the leakage of physiological fluid can be prevented more reliably.

  FIG. 1 shows a sanitary pant 1 before wearing (before use), which is smaller than the size when worn. The sanitary pants 1 are closed in a watertight manner so that only the openings 2 and 3 corresponding to the torso and both thighs are open, and the other parts are completely impermeable to water.
