Description

  The present invention relates to a breast milk absorption pad sandwiched between a maternal breast and a bra or clothes.

This type of breast milk absorption pad includes a disposable paper pad and a cloth pad that is washed and reused.
[Paper pad]
Paper-made breast milk absorption pads mainly use pulp as an absorbent material for absorbing breast milk. The absorbent material is sandwiched between a liquid-permeable inner sheet through which breast milk passes and a liquid-impervious outer sheet through which breast milk does not pass.
The absorbent material is formed by pulverizing pulp or pulverized pulp and superabsorbent polymer (SAP) powder into a plate shape. The inner sheet is a liquid-permeable nonwoven fabric of chemical fibers or natural fibers. This inner sheet covers the breast. The outer sheet is a liquid-impervious synthetic resin film. This outer sheet overlaps the brassiere. When you don't wear a bra, it overlaps your clothes. The outer sheet is provided with an adhesive portion that is fastened to a brassiere or clothes.

[Cloth pad]
The cloth-made breast milk absorption pad uses cloth as an absorbent material for absorbing breast milk. The absorbent material is a laminated body of liquid-absorbing cloth such as a pile fabric, and is placed in a liquid-impervious cloth holder through which breast milk does not pass.
The liquid-impermeable cloth holder covers the entire outer surface of the cloth laminate and covers the peripheral portion of the inner surface of the cloth laminate. The central portion of the inner surface of the fabric laminate is exposed. The peripheral part of the inner surface of the cloth holder and the central part of the inner surface of the cloth laminate overlap the breast. The center of the inner surface of the fabric laminate is covered with the nipple of the breast. The outer surface of the cloth holder overlaps the bra or garment.

[Task]
[Cloth pad]
Since the woven fabric comes into contact with the breast, the cloth-made breast milk absorption pad has little irritation to the skin and has a good touch. Also, since it is washed and reused, it saves resources and reduces waste.
However, the breast milk absorbent pad made of cloth has a small amount of absorbed milk. Moreover, the retention capacity of breast milk is low, and absorbed breast milk is likely to leak.
Furthermore, since there is no adhesive part to be fastened to a brassiere or clothes, the position is likely to shift. In addition, since only the central portion of the inner side surface that contacts the breast is liquid-absorbing, the position where the nipple of the breast contacts is limited to the central portion. The allowable range of misalignment is narrow. As a result, the position where the nipple comes into contact is likely to be disengaged from the liquid-absorbing central portion on the inner surface. Bras and clothes often get dirty with breast milk.
Even if the breast milk absorbent pad made of cloth is provided with an adhesive portion that adheres to a brassiere or clothes, the adhesive portion loses adhesive strength when washed for reuse.

[Paper pad]
A paper-made breast milk absorption pad has a large amount of breast milk absorption. It has a high ability to retain breast milk, and absorbed breast milk is difficult to leak out. Moreover, since there is an adhesive part that is fastened to a brassiere or clothes, the position is difficult to shift. In addition, since the entire inner surface in contact with the breast is liquid-absorbing, the allowable range of positional deviation is wide. Bras and clothes are less likely to get dirty with breast milk.
However, the paper-made mother's milk absorption pad has a tactile sensation and a poor touch because the irregular concavo-convex surface of the liquid-permeable inner sheet and the liquid-permeable nonwoven fabric contacts the breast.
Moreover, since it is disposable and throws away every time a new article is used, it is contrary to resource saving and garbage reduction.

[Idea]
We considered changing the shortcomings of each pad, taking advantage of the advantages of the fabric and paper pads.
The inner surface that comes into contact with the breast is made of a liquid-permeable woven or knitted fabric that is comfortable to the touch. Absorbents that absorb breast milk are mainly made from pulp that has a high absorption capacity and high retention capacity. The outer surface that overlaps the brassiere or garment is provided with an adhesive portion that is fastened to the bra or garment.
And the part containing the adhesive part which adhere | attaches the absorber which makes pulp a main material, and a brassiere or clothes is made disposable. The part including the woven or knitted fabric constituting the liquid-permeable inner surface having a good touch is washed and reused. A two-part configuration of a disposable part and a reusable part is used.

Specifically, the absorbent material uses pulp or pulp and a superabsorbent polymer. This absorbent material is sandwiched between a liquid-permeable inner sheet through which breast milk passes and a liquid-impervious outer sheet through which breast milk does not pass to form an absorbent pad. The absorbent pad is covered with a cloth cover.
The cloth cover covers the entire inner surface of the absorbent pad at the inner portion. The inner part is a liquid-permeable woven or knitted fabric through which breast milk passes. The outer portion covers the peripheral portion of the outer surface of the absorbent pad. The center part of the outer surface of the absorbent pad is not covered.
An adhesive portion that is fastened to a brassiere or clothes is provided at the center of the outer surface of the absorbent pad.
After use, the cloth cover is removed from the absorbent pad, washed and reused. The absorbent pad with the adhesive is made disposable.

  The breast milk absorption pad shown in FIGS. 1-3 is comprised from two parts, the absorption pad 1 shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, and the cloth cover 11 shown in FIGS. The absorbent pad 1 is covered with a cloth cover 11.

  The absorbent pad 1 mixes powder of superabsorbent polymer with pulverized pulp to make an absorbent 2. The absorbent material 2 is formed into a substantially circular plate shape. The pad-shaped absorbent material 2 is sandwiched between an inner sheet 3 and an outer sheet 4 that are slightly larger than this, and the peripheral portions of both sheets 3 and 4 are overlapped and joined. The absorbent material 2 is enclosed and enclosed in a bag composed of a liquid-permeable inner sheet 3 and a liquid-impermeable outer sheet 4.

  The inner sheet 3 is made of a hydrophilic non-woven fabric of chemical fibers or natural fibers, and has a liquid permeability through which breast milk passes. Examples of the fiber type of the nonwoven fabric include rayon, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, and cotton. The outer sheet 4 is a liquid-proof sheet, which is made of a synthetic resin film and impervious to the passage of breast milk. Examples of the synthetic resin film include polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyester.

  The outer surface of the absorbent pad 2 and the outer sheet 4 are provided with an adhesive portion 5 to be fastened to a brassiere or clothes at the center. The adhesive portion 5 is formed into a plurality of parallel tapes and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

  The cloth cover 11 includes a substantially circular inner cloth 12 and a substantially annular outer cloth 13 which are concentrically overlapped, and the outer peripheral edges of both the cloths 12 and 13 are sewn together with a sewing thread. The inner cloth 12 and the outer cloth 13 are turned upside down, and the stitched portion of the outer peripheral edge is disposed inside. The inner cloth 12 and the outer cloth 13 have an outer diameter slightly larger than that of the absorbent pad 1. The outer cloth 13 has an inner diameter that is slightly larger than the central portion and the portion where the adhesive portion 5 is located on the outer surface of the absorbent pad 1.

  The inner cloth 12 covers the inner surface of the absorbent pad 1 and the entire surface of the inner sheet 3 and constitutes an inner portion of the cloth cover 11. When the breast milk absorption pad is worn, the inner part of the cloth cover 11 and the inner cloth 12 are put in contact with the maternal breast.

  The inner cloth 12 is made of a hydrophilic fabric or knitted fabric made of chemical fiber yarn or natural fiber yarn, and has a liquid permeability through which breast milk passes. Examples of the type of woven fabric include plain weave, twill weave, satin weave and pile weave. Examples of the type of knitted fabric include knitted knitting and tricot knitting.
