An apparatus for a dual-use disposable sanitary garment according to various aspects of the present technology include an absorbent layer coupled to a wearable garment. The wearable garment is folded inward and sealed within a pouch portion adjacent to the absorbent layer. The wearable garment is enclosed within the pouch portion by a removable adhesive layer that is configured to either be kept in place allowing the entire garment to be used as a commonly known sanitary napkin or the adhesive can be removed thereby allowing the wearable garment to be unfolded and worn. The entire sanitary garment may then be disposed after use.

Fluid collection assemblies, systems including the same, and methods of using the same are disclosed herein. An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier having a proximal surface and a distal surface opposite the proximal surface. The proximal surface defines an opening. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one inflation device. The inflation device includes a bladder. The bladder may be adjacent to the distal surface of the fluid impermeable barrier or between a conduit disposed in the chamber and the distal surface. The bladder is configured to switch between a first state and at least a second state. A volume of the bladder is greater when the bladder is the second state than when the bladder is in the first state. Switching the bladder between the first and second states changes a curvature of the at least a portion of the fluid collection assembly.

A garment for postnatal women for absorbing postpartum bleeding and providing soothing effects during post-partum recovery. The maternal under garment includes an exterior layer having a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. An interior layer overlaps the exterior layer along a front panel and a rear panel of the garment. An upper perimeter of the front panel includes a V-shape, wherein a nadir of the V-shape is centrally positioned on the front panel to comfortably rest below a stomach area of a woman. The maternal under garment includes an adjustable waist band to retract as the stomach area becomes smaller postpartum. Multiple layers are disposed between the interior and exterior layer, such as an absorbent layer for absorbing postpartum bleeding, a cooling layer for soothing genitals during postpartum recovery, and an antibacterial layer for assisting with pain relief and the healing process after birth.

An adjustable absorbent article includes a center portion including a plurality of layers for absorption of fluid. The adjustable absorbent article also includes a side portion delineated from the center portion by at least one perforation line and positioned adjacent the center portion, the at least one perforation line extends through the adjustable absorbent article allowing the absorbent article to be adjustable by a wearer. The side portion is removable from the center portion by tearing along the at least one perforation line for allowing a wearer to adjust the absorbent article. The adjustable absorbent article further includes an adhesive portion disposed on the center portion for adhering to an undergarment of the wearer. The center portion, side portion, adhesive portion or any combinations thereof comprises hemp.
