Description

Cannabis Hemp fiber based Reusable Sanitary Pad
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to Reusable Cannabis Hemp Fiber Sanitary Pads, which is used by women during their menstrual period. A pad made with such structural characteristics as to make it reusable, and which offers organic conditions that are very advantageous for the function for which it is intended, is being proposed.
Background of the invention
Currently, the use of means of containment is generalized among women during their menstrual period. Sanitary pads are the most utilized means for this purpose due to their external application.
There are sanitary pads with diverse structural shapes available, meant to conceal the physiological function of the application use in the most adequate manner, combining this factor with others, such as comfort of use, economy, and hygiene.
In this sense, the pads are conventionally made with materials that are physiologically adequate for contact with the body and capable of providing absorption and impermeability by using mostly synthetic materials with said qualities.
Pads made this way are generally used and discarded, that is, disposable, after only one use, which carries with it significant inconveniences with regard to the economic cost for the users and pad disposal represents a burden of contaminating waste, since a normal women utilizes on average about 17,000 pads during her fertile years. Reusable pads have been developed in order to palliate the problems derived from the use of large quantities of pads, but presently, these types of pads are made with an inner layer of textile material, whose composition is usually 100% acetate, viscose or rayon, or nylon, polyester or polyurethane, which does not provide a completely effective impermeability.
On the other hand, the single-use pads that are currently widely used also tend to be made with chemical products, such as chlorine and perfumes, and products derived from petroleum, such as plastics and adhesives, which cause on many occasions continuous discomfort and allergies to the persons that use them (women, patients, or disabled persons).
According to the present disclosure, a pad for women to assist for heavy flow control while utilising anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, pesticide-free, UV resistant and rash-resistant properties of cannabis hemp fiber.
Object of the invention
The main object of the present invention, reusable pad is obtained, whose structural composite provides optimal characteristics in regard to impermeability, breathability and absorbency, as well as hygienic qualities that prevent problems related to infections and/or irritations caused by contact with plastics, chlorine, perfume or other petrochemical products utilized in conventional pads. Another object of the present invention reusable pad has provided with six layers, which are made from 100% cannabis hemp fiber based woven fabric. The first five layer made from cannabis hemp fabric and last bottom layer is made from cannabis hemp fabric and PLA blend.
Further the present invention reusable cannabis hemp sanitary' pads are biodegradable, UV resistant and rash resistant.
The possibility of reusing the pad by washing it also allows a drastic reduction of the number of pads that are needed. One same pad can be washed and reused for a long time and, for this reason, the number of pads women must use during their fertile years is very small. This implies a significant cost reduction when compared to the use of conventional disposable pads as well as considerable less trouble associated with having to purchase the pads and having the pads available when needed.
Another feature which distinguishes hemp fiber plant from other plant materials like banana and bamboo is the biomass per acre and feasibility of growing the plant thrice in one year which makes it as an economic cash crop for farmers of the Himalayan range. These pads will be hand-stitched by women artisans making it an economic mean for them as well.
In short the present invention reusable sanitary pads are cost effective and which are reusable so, the life of such pads are also high and that are eco friendly to the environment with health benefits. Statement of the Invention
Woman menstruation is still one of the least explored aspects in science and technology. One of the basic necessities as sanitary pads is causing not only health hazards like ovarian cancer, skin dermatitis and thyroid dysfunction hut also, one of the major reasons for the environmental pollution caused by biomedical and plastic waste generated with used sanitary pads. Moreover, the wood pulp and cotton used in making sanitary pads lead to deforestation and soil depletion. Therefore, reusable cannabis hemp sanitary pads represent the first validated sanitary pad made by using hemp fabric. These pads have been tested from ATIRA as per IS 5405:1980. They are made using hemp fiber as the raw material which can be used as an alternate crop for generating income for farmers which is the USP behind this invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The structure and the technical means adopted by the present invention to achieve the above and other objects can be best understood by referring to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.,
Detailed description of the invention
Before explaining the present invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of the construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments, as depicted in different figures as described above and of being practiced or carried out in a variety of ways. It is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.
The present disclosure relates to a sanitary pad for women's menstrual periods that has a structural configuration that provides optimal characteristics for the function for which it is used and the possibility of reutilization. Said pad is made of a structural composite that comprises an inner layer made of hemp fabric . Said hemp fabric layers are free from pesticides so, the layers become hygienic and reusable and made the pad pesticide-free, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal hemp fiber.
This layers are made from absorbent hemp fabric, where intermediate layers can be provided according to the desired absorptive capacity of the pad.
The composite of said layers is inserted into an outer cover made of conventional cannabis hemp fabric through which the outer surface and the shape of the pad are determined. This is how an impermeable, breathable and absorbent pad is obtained, which has a structural composite formed in its entirety by natural materials. This offers optimal organic properties for hygienic use, and it also results in that said structural composite is biodegradable and consequently, has no contaminating repercussions when the pads are disposed of. The pad's structural composition makes it washable, and therefore, reusable. So the same pad may be used repeatedly for a long time, thus avoiding the problems and inconveniences related to conventional single-use pads. The pad may assume different shapes and sizes with regard to its configuration, without this altering the concept of the structural shape, with which the invention is concerned.
It should be noted that even though the preferred application of the preferred pad is for feminine use during menstrual periods, this does not exclude its use for other applications, such as the use by persons suffering from any degree of incontinence, as well as for people who are ill or disabled.
While preserving the same structural distribution of the pad, it is provided that the materials of the component layers can be arranged in different order.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention Reusable Cannabis Hemp fiber Sanitary Pads for women to assist for heavy flow control while utilizing antibacterial, anti-fungal, pesticide-free, UV resistant and rash-resistant properties of hemp fiber.
The present invention Reusable Cannabis Hemp fiber Sanitary Pads has six layers , wherein the first five top layers are made from 140GSM hemp fabric and the bottom layer is made from 140GSM hemp fabric and PLA blend.
