A reusable diaper has an outer liquid resistant layer having a front waist portion, an elongated back waist portion and a crotch portion therebetween, an inner layer attached to the outer layer, and a plurality of first fasteners arranged along the front waist portion of the outer liquid resistant layer. The front waist portion is divided into a plurality of visually different sections each having at least one of the first fasteners thereon. Each section sandwiching a central section of the front waist portion can have a different color or surface pattern than that of the central section. Each section sandwiching that section and the central section therebetween has a still further different color or surface pattern. Each section corresponds to a predetermined diaper fitting size when one or more complementary second fasteners on ends of the elongated back waist portion engages a corresponding ones of the front waist portion first fasteners.

A reusable sanitary napkin includes an outer body, a first absorbent fabric component, and a skin-contacting fabric component. The outer body includes a base layer component and a top waterproof layer component. The top waterproof layer component is attached to a top surface of the base layer component, and has a through hole. The first absorbent fabric component is attached to the top surface of the base layer component, and is registered with the through hole. The skin-contacting fabric component is attached between the first absorbent fabric component and the top waterproof layer component. A boundary of the through hole is disposed on the skin-contacting fabric component.

A reusable nappy configured in the form of side-openable pants with reusable fasteners is characterized in that the front part of the nappy is additionally provided with a waistband tightening arrangement disposed on the waistband of said front part in a space lying between fastening elements (see FIG. 6). The tightening arrangement can be configured in the form of two drawstrings disposed in channels on the waistband, which can be tightened and fastened in a knot, or in the form of other embodiments. The nappy can be provided with a front-detachable absorbent pad having a detachable barrier fabric, or with similar liners. Absorbent elements can be configured with a side-opening inward fold, resembling a side cap in appearance. A liner can be provided with a fold-over rear portion, inter alia, in the form of turndown collar. The aim of the invention is to provide an arrangement having fastenings which allows flexible adjustment of the size of the waistband and can be manipulated safely during fastening. The nappy is intended to have a training effect by virtue of slight wetness, but should not leak or allow excessive wetness. The arrangement is intended to allow easier and improved cleaning and to provide greater comfort for wearers and greater convenience for carers. The invention relates to reusable nappies and to clothing items for wearers susceptible to incontinence. Proposed are novel embodiments of a nappy and liners.

A multi-layer liquid absorbing and retaining textile assembly (100) is disclosed. The textile assembly (100) comprises at least a first layer (110), a second layer (120) and an intermediate layer (130). The intermediate layer (130) is constructed as a warp knitted spacer fabric having a plurality of sections (130A, 130B, 130C) with at least one section (130A) being proximal to the first layer (110) and at least another section (130B) being proximal to the second layer (120). The first layer (110) is adapted to transfer liquid from a first side (100A) of the textile assembly (100) to the intermediate layer (130). The intermediate layer (130) is adapted to receive and transfer liquid to the second layer (120). The second layer (120) is adapted to retain the liquid at or proximal to a second side (100B) of the textile assembly that is oppositely facing to the first side (100A).

A reusable, discreet absorbent bed pad for medical use. The bed pad may include a base layer and an upper layer. The upper layer may include an aperture to receive an absorbent pad between the base layer and the upper layer such that a central portion of the absorbent pad is exposed through the aperture and an outer periphery of the absorbent pad is overlapped by the upper layer. A weighted blanket for medical use is also disclosed and claimed herein.

An absorbent insert includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet; a lateral axis and longitudinal axis, and first lateral and second lateral ends. The absorbent insert further includes a fastening component that has a plurality of integrally formed fastening elements and an absorbent capacity of at least 120 g.

A male genital discharge absorption and retention device is disclosed herein. The purpose of the device is to absorb any discharge from the male meatus, which may also be known as the external urethral orifice. The device aids in the prevention of spotting or staining on the clothing of a user wearing the device and affected by penile discharge. A fabric or other appropriate material is fitted over the glans penis and penile corona and may be held in place by an appropriate attachment mechanism. The anatomy of the male genitalia also aids in securing the male genital discharge absorption and retention device to the penis. Within the device, positioned against the meatus of the male genitalia, may be a thicker absorption mechanism intended to soak up any penile discharge. The device, or any component thereof, may further comprise an antibacterial material of constriction or an antibacterial layer of material.

Disclosed is a liquid removal drypad and liquid removal system suitable for absorbing and removing liquid produced by an individual. The drypad can include one or more perforated conduits arranged with an absorbent material. A source of reduced pressure can be connected to the one or more perforated conduits to remove liquid from the drypad. The drypad can be positioned under a patient and liquid produced by the individual can be removed by applying reduced pressure to the drypad. The drypad can be made by combining one or more conduits with an absorbent material.
