Definitions

  • a sanitary napkin comprising a body of an absorbent material having a fluid permeable outer portion for contact with the vaginal-mucous, said outer portion containing periodic acid in amounts effective to deodorize said fluid associated with menstrual discharge.
  • the sanitary napkin when the sanitary napkin is applied directly on the pelvic region, particularly on the vulva and perineum, essentially no irritation is experienced by the user and the periodic acid present in the napkin does not destroy the micro-organisms of the vaginal flora, thereby maintaining a physiological balance. lt has also been observed that the elimination of undesirable odors is rapid and that the deodorizing effect persists for even several hours after removal of the sanitary napkin.
  • micro-organisms present in the vagina are not destroyed in the presence of the periodic acid present in the sanitary napkin of this invention.
  • Such microodic acid a culture of micro-organisms as described above, the culture of micro-organisms does not develop in those areas which have been subjected to the action of periodic acid.
  • a vaginal injection of the same on three animal species a rabbit, a guinea pig and a rat.
  • An aqueous solution of the following concentration (2-5 ml ofa N/2 solution for the rabbit; 3-5 ml ofa N/Z solution for the guineapig; and 5-8 ml ofa N/2 solution for the rat) is administered by a syringe in the vagina of these animals each day for 21 period of 15 days.
  • the animals were then killed and the autopsy performed on each revealed that the vagina was in perfect shape.
  • biopsies of the vagina were carried out and in all cases normal histological images were obtained.
  • the quantity of periodic acid present in the fluid permeable outer portion of the absorbent material can be quite small thereby avoiding any possible harmful effeet when the absorbent material is in direct contact with the body.
  • the periodic acid is present in amounts of about 0.015 to 0.5 mg/cm grams per square inch, preferably about 0.02 to 0.35 mg/cm grams per square inch in the fluid permeable outer portion of the absorbent material which comes into direct contact with the body.
  • Non-woven cotton material to be used as the fluid permeable outer portion of a sanitary napkin is impregnated with a N/S aqueous solution of periodic acid. The material is then dried in an oven at a temperature of about 45 C to evaporate the Water, after which it is assembled about a core of absorbent non-woven cotton to constitute the said fluid permeable outer portion of the resulting sanitary napkin which had a total weight of 13 g and a periodic content of 4 mg.
  • the periodic content was determined essentially in the same way as set forth in Example 1, using a sample napkin prepared in essentially the same way.
  • An absorbent material'for absorbing body fluids havingin a fluid permeable outer portion thereof which is in direct contact with the bodyv periodic acid in amounts effective to deodorize said body fluids.
