A feminine hygiene product wrapper, comprising a front panel having a closed side lengthwise edge, an open side lengthwise edge, a bottom widthwise edge, and a top widthwise edge; a back panel having a closed side lengthwise edge, an open side lengthwise edge, a bottom widthwise edge, and a top widthwise edge; and an expandable side panel having a lengthwise extending first side edge, a lengthwise extending second side edge, a top edge, and a bottom edge, wherein the lengthwise extending first side edge is attached to the open side lengthwise edge of the front panel, and the lengthwise extending second side edge is attached to the open side lengthwise edge of the back panel.

The invention relates to a wound care product, comprising a wound care article located in a sterilized sealed chamber defining a sterile environment. The wound care product also comprises an openable and reclosable container which has at least one outer surface portion in said sterile environment. The invention further relates to a method for using such a wound care product.

A tampon disposing system, including a tampon, a wrapper to encase the tampon therein, and a bag attached to an inner side portion of the wrapper to store the tampon and at least a portion of the wrapper therein.

A feminine hygiene product wrapper, comprising a front panel having a closed side lengthwise edge, an open side lengthwise edge, a bottom widthwise edge, and a top widthwise edge; a back panel having a closed side lengthwise edge, an open side lengthwise edge, a bottom widthwise edge, and a top widthwise edge; and an expandable side panel having a lengthwise extending first side edge, a lengthwise extending second side edge, a top edge, and a bottom edge, wherein the lengthwise extending first side edge is attached to the open side lengthwise edge of the front panel, and the lengthwise extending second side edge is attached to the open side lengthwise edge of the back panel.

Implementations of an individual pull tab packaging for tampons are provided. In some implementations, the individual pull tab packaging for tampons comprises a hollow elongated having a cylindrical shape configured to hold and enclose a tampon in an interior and comprising a top portion and a bottom portion joined together by a separable pull tab to open the interior, wherein the pull tab is configured to be pulled from the top portion and the bottom portion to disjoin the top portion and the bottom portion to open the interior.

Tampon packaging and disposal systems and methods are disclosed. The packaging has a flexible mitten and an optional attached tampon enclosure. The tampon enclosure can package a tampon and the flexible mitten wraps around the tampon enclosure. When unwrapped, the tampon enclosure is detachable from the mitten and the tampon can be used by a user. The mitten is used for removing the used tampon worn by the user and disposing of the used tampon after removal.

A package containing a stack of folded disposable absorbent articles, the package being formed of flexible polymeric film, and having a path of perforations or scoring defining a hood opening structure, is disclosed. The hood opening structure may be configured to open proximate the fold noses of the articles for easy tactile identification, grasping and withdrawal of individual ones thereof, and may be configured so as to serve as an effective package reclosure device whereby the package may be used to store the unused supply of articles following opening. The package, and printed commercial artwork and product information on the package surfaces, may be configured such that the fold noses are disposed at the apparent bottom of the package, for improved standing stability when the package is shelved.

A bandage dispenser has a mounting strip supporting a plurality of partially overlapping bandage packages. Each package individually wraps a bandage. Each bandage package has a bifurcated opening, with one half of the bifurcated opening bonded to the mounting strip and the second half of the bifurcated opening folded away from the mounting strip to facilitate manual grasping. A person one-handedly grasps the second half of the bifurcated opening and pulls away from the mounting strip to open the bandage package. Using the same single hand, the person may release the bifurcated opening, and then grasp and remove the sterile bandage from the package. Once the bandage has been applied, a person may again use a single hand to finish tearing the bandage package from the mounting strip, revealing the next bandage package bifurcated opening. Optional pockets provide tactile feedback and reduce the chance of accidentally spilling a bandage.

A tampon disposal device includes a tubular stiffener, and a membrane conforming to the stiffener with an opening on one end and an enclosure opposite the opening. The membrane is folded inside the stiffener into a first layer attached to the stiffener; and second and third layers that form a lip surrounding the stiffener near a stiffener rim. The second layer folds over the rim, reversing direction to become the third layer lip portion. The third layer continues inside the stiffener. A weak adhesive attaches the lip to the outside stiffener. Another adhesive attaches the first layer to the second layer inside the stiffener. When a hand grasps a tampon siring with the membrane and pulls on the string, the first adhesive allows the lip to separate and be pulled into the stiffener together with the tampon. Pushing inwardly on the stiffener seals the tampon inside the membrane.

Implementations of an individual pull tab packaging for sanitary pads are provided. In some implementation the packaging comprises a compacted housing in the shape of a compacted cylinder wherein the height of the housing is smaller than the width of the cylinder. In some implementations, the compacted housing comprises a top portion having a circular shape, a bottom portion having a circular shape, and a cylindrical side extending from the top portion to the bottom portion. In some implementations, the inner surface of the top portion, inner surface of the bottom portion, and inner surface of the cylindrical side define a closed interior configured to hold and enclose a pad. In some implementations, the cylindrical side comprises a separable strip of material configured to be pulled away from a portion of the cylindrical side to access the interior of the compacted housing to remove a pad housed within the housing through an opening.
