Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a tampon used for absorbing menstrual blood during menstruation.

There are various types of sanitary tampons, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. We have now found a product that definitely satisfies the various conditions required.

This idea was developed based on the above circumstances, and aims to provide a tampon that is easy to insert and remove, does not have the absorbent body falling off or comes loose, has sufficient absorption capacity, and is free from leakage. .

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a compressed absorbent material for absorbing liquid, which is formed into a long and slender rod-like shape with rounded ends at both ends by attaching it to a part of an endless string 2, for example, as a core. being intimidated.

As shown in Figure 2 with only the string 2 exposed for ease of understanding, the remaining portion is wound spirally around one end of the compressible absorbent body 1 from the tip side to form the liquid suction part. do.

Therefore, the distal end side of the liquid suction portion has a hemispherical shape as a whole and is rounded.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, this liquid absorbing part is surrounded by a covering part 3 made of a water-soluble and lubricating film or capsule, and the remainder of the string 2 is pulled out from the rear end.

This tampon has the above-mentioned structure, is relatively small in size, has a rounded tip, and is covered with a lubricating covering part 3, so it can be inserted without using a special insertion tool. It can be easily inserted with just plain water or soapy water.

After insertion, the water-soluble covering part 3 dissolves easily, but since this tampon has a liquid absorption part formed by wrapping the remaining part in a spiral around one end of the long, thin rod-shaped compressible absorbent body 1. Swelling occurs as a whole in all directions when liquid is absorbed, and the liquid-absorbing area that comes into contact with the liquid is wide, so a large amount of liquid can be sufficiently absorbed and there is no risk of leakage.

In particular, when expelling this tampon, the liquid suction part expanded by liquid absorption can be pulled out of the spiral by pulling the external string 2 and dismantled into a thin rope shape, which can be pulled out of the body, making this operation extremely easy. It has its features.

In addition, the absorbent body 1 has a strong shape with the string 2 as the core, and is further wound spirally, so it is securely retained and does not fall off or come loose while inside the body, and some parts This can prevent accidents where the drug separates and remains in the body.

Furthermore, since this tampon is small and its outer periphery is surrounded by a thin covering, it is hygienic and does not require a special holder, making it convenient to carry.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be implemented with various modifications without changing the gist.

In this invention, if a starch-based or cellulose-based highly absorbent resin is used as the material for the absorber 1, further miniaturization is possible, and the various effects of this invention can be further expanded.
