An absorbent multi-layer hygiene product comprising a plurality of stacked absorbent pads that are releasably attached to each other. Each absorbent pad includes a liquid-pervious topsheet, a liquid-impervious backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet. Each topsheet and backsheet extends beyond the absorbent core and forms an outer peripheral edge to sandwich the absorbent core. Each peripheral edge includes a pair of opposed longitudinal edges and a pair of opposed end edges. Each backsheet has a garment-facing surface and an adhesive disposed on the peripheral edge of the garment-facing surface to releasably secure the adjacent layers to each other.

A wicking and absorbent liner (liner) and a method for wicking, absorbing, and releasing menstrual flow and/or other bodily fluids is provided by this invention. The liner has fluid permeable body-facing and garment-facing surfaces, and one or more fluid absorbent core layers. The liner is designed to use in conjunction with sanitary napkins, cloth menstrual pads, panty liners, menstrual panties, and/or other absorbent feminine hygiene items (absorbent feminine hygiene items). The liner is designed and configured to fit between the genital area of a woman and the body facing surface of an absorbent feminine hygiene item.

A thin disposable insert for adherence onto the crotch portion of a female undergarment for reducing pressure otherwise transferred from the undergarment to the external genital organs of the female is referred to as a panty guard. An anatomically correctly shaped pelvic organ support included within or adhered to the panty guard provides three dimensional support to the pelvic floor of a female. The pelvic organ support and the thin disposable insert provide a barrier between the female pelvic organs and abrasive fabrics of the undergarment. The pelvic organ support provides a porous space between tight-fitting non-breathable undergarments and the genitalia of the wearer, allowing air to flow across the wearer's skin. The panty guard with a pelvic organ support to prevent infection, lacerations, pelvic floor prolapse, and incontinence.

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 detachable urine flow collection device that integrates with a disposable nonwoven or underwear garment worn by a human male or female. The incontinence device fits through an opening in the disposable nonwoven or underwear garment. The incontinence device is ellipsoid in shape and will be in direct and intimate contact with the users' genitals. This design allows the incontinence device to collect urine when the user urinates in different body positions. The main purpose of the incontinence devise is to channel this urine and liquid away from contact with the user and their skin as the constant contact of the liquid and urine is harmful. The channeling of urine and liquid away from the users skin is accomplished by the design of the incontinence device and the combinations of nonwoven materials that direct, move and store the urine and liquid in the device.
