Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a sanitary tampon.

Conventionally, tampons with an insertion tool have been put into practical use, and in this type of tampon, the tampon body stored in the outer cylinder is pushed against the inner cylinder slidably inserted into the rear end of the outer cylinder. Tampons are broadly divided into those with a cylindrical inserter that is pushed out of the outer barrel by moving the tampon, and those with a stick-type inserter that has a stick attached to the tampon body in advance or assembled at the time of use. .

For tampons with a cylindrical insert, the total length of the insert is usually 1
Because it is around 2 cm, it is bulky and inconvenient to carry and package.Also, stick-type inserts have the same inconvenience as tampons with tube-type inserts when the stick is pre-assembled in the tampon body, If the main body and stick were to be assembled before use, not only would it be necessary to package each separately, but it would be inconvenient to use.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel tampon with an insertion device that can eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
The structure of the present invention for achieving the object will be described below using the illustrated embodiments as an example.

FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal side view of the tampon of the present invention, and this tampon is composed of a cylindrical inserter 1 and a cylindrical tampon body 2 accommodated therein.

The insertion tool 1 is made of synthetic resin, rubber, etc., and has a protrusion 3 at the tip and an opening 4 at the rear end, and has a cylindrical body 5 whose inner diameter gradually increases from the tip to the rear end. It is well-formed.

The length of the cylindrical body 5 excluding the protrusion 3 is 2 to 7 cm, and the protrusion 3
It is preferable that the length of the cylindrical body 5 is 0.5 to 3 cm, the inner diameter of the narrowest part of the cylindrical body 5 is 0.7 to 1.5 cm, and the inner diameter of the opening is 1 to 2 cm, but it is limited to these sizes. The tampon main body 2 may be accommodated in any size suitable for accommodating the tampon body 2 and for inserting the user's fingertip.

The tampon body 2 is made of water-absorbing fiber or the like, and is compressed into a cylindrical body 6 and has a drawstring 7 attached from the rear end.
has been extended.

The rear end of the cylindrical body 6 has a recess 8 suitable for inserting the protrusion 3 to connect the insertion tool 1 and the tampon body 2 as described later.

In the tampon of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure,
In use, as shown in FIG. 2, the tampon body 2 is taken out from the insertion tool 1, and with the fingertip 9 inserted into the insertion tool 1, the protrusion 3 of the insertion tool 1 is inserted into the recess 8 of the tampon body 2.
The insertion tool 1 and the tampon body 2 are connected by inserting the tampon into the vagina, and the tampon body 1 is inserted into the vagina by the pressing force of the inserted fingertip 9. , the insertion tool 1 is removed from the vagina with the fingertip 9 inserted.

The tampon of the present invention is constructed as described above, and therefore can be packaged with the tampon body inserted inside the tampon, reducing packaging costs, and the packaging state is almost the same as the tampon body. It is long and not bulky, making it convenient to carry.

Furthermore, when using the tampon, you just need to insert the protrusion at the tip of the insertion tool into the recess at the rear end of the tampon body, making it easy to use and simply inserting your fingertip into the insertion tool. Because of this, it is hygienic because the fingers do not directly touch the inside of the vagina, and it is extremely useful for practical use.
