Abstract

A multi-section tampon comprising a plurality of absorbent bodies arranged in series and having an unequal maximum diameter, and a drawstring through which the absorbent bodies are placed. Each of the absorbent bodies includes a body portion and a perforation surrounded by the body portion. The drawstrings are passed through the body portions through the perforations to cause the absorbers to be strung in a row. Since the maximum diameters of the absorbent bodies are not equal, the partial absorbent body does not closely contact the vagina, thereby improving the gas permeability and eliminating the stuffy feeling. In addition, the absorbers are multi-section, multi-stage movable design, so that when the user moves, the absorbers can be combined with different human body conditions and body movements to cause relative bending deformation between them. The segmentation and segmentation are adapted to contact the user's body, thereby reducing the intrusion of the foreign matter, thereby improving the comfort of use, and the absorbent body can be removed to meet the demand to change the number of the absorbent bodies.

Description

Multi-section tampon

The present invention relates to a sanitary article, and more particularly to a multi-section design tampon.

Referring to Fig. 1, in general, in addition to sanitary napkins, sanitary tampons 1 are commonly used in women's hygiene products, which have the advantages of low sultry heat and difficulty in causing user discomfort due to friction when walking. A general tampon 1 comprises an absorbent body 11 having a columnar shape and a curved front end, and a drawstring 12 connected to the absorbent body 11. In use, the absorbent body 11 is placed in the vagina to absorb menstrual blood, thereby preventing the leakage of the menstrual blood and cleaning, and the absorbent body 11 can be removed by pulling the drawstring 12. Although the tampon 1 is less prone to sultry heat than the sanitary napkin, the outer annular surface of the absorbent body 11 is in close contact with the vagina over the entire surface, so there is still room for improvement in gas permeability. Furthermore, although the tampon 1 is less obstructive to exercise, the entire design of the absorbent body 11 lacks bendability, so when a woman performs a large movement, there is still a foreign body sensation in use. There is still room for improvement in comfort.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a tampon that enhances breathability and comfort.

Accordingly, the multi-section tampon of the present invention comprises a plurality of absorbent bodies which are continuously arranged in a first direction and whose maximum diameters are not equal, and a drawstring through which the absorbent bodies are disposed. Each of the absorbent bodies includes a body portion and a perforation surrounded by the body portion. The drawstrings pass through the body portions through the perforations such that the absorbent bodies are strung in a row along the first direction.

The effect of the present invention is that since the maximum diameters of the absorbent bodies are not equal, the partial absorbent body does not closely contact the vagina, thereby improving the gas permeability and eliminating the stuffy feeling. In addition, the absorbers are multi-section, multi-stage movable design, so that when the user moves, the absorbers can be combined with different human body conditions and body movements to cause relative bending deformation between them. The segmentation and segmentation are adapted to contact the user's body, thereby reducing the intrusion of the foreign matter, thereby improving the comfort of use, and the absorbent body can be removed to meet the demand to change the number of the absorbent bodies.

Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.
