The current invention in some embodiments thereof relates to a sanitary pad which has a flat configuration for easy storage and transport and folds to form a 3D shape including a bulge for dividing between skin in a sensitive area. In some embodiments, in the bulge may be perpendicular to a flat portion of the pad. Optionally, the fin may have a triangular shape. For example, a menstrual pad may include an anterior flat area configured to lie against the vagina and/or absorb menstrual fluids and a posterior bulge configured to fit into an intergluteal cleft. For example, the bulge may have the form of a triangular fin. Optionally, the pad is reformed from the flat configuration to its 3D configuration by folding a posterior portion of the pad.

Devices for providing thermal therapy to the perineal and rectal areas of a patient are described. The device is particularly useful for containing gushing lochia flow. Different embodiments of the device can be used to provide either hot or cold therapy to the patient. The inventive thermal pack of the current invention comprises a thermal pouch, pad and a backing layer.

(Object) To prevent leakage of body fluids and to readily transmit pressure from both sides to a center portion in a width direction by bringing an absorbent article into close contact with a crotch area extending from a body fluid discharge portion to a start position of the intergluteal cleft. (Means of Achieving the Object) A pair of right and left compressed grooves (8, 8) that extend in an approximately longitudinal direction is formed on a surface of a liquid permeable top sheet (3). The compressed grooves (8) have separation distance reduced regions (11), in which a separation distance between the right and left compressed grooves is reduced, formed at the back of a region corresponding to a body fluid discharge portion (H) of a wearer, and also have vastly enlarged portions (10), in which widths of the compressed grooves (8) are enlarged, formed at positions within the separation distance reduced regions (11) and where the separation distance between the right and left compressed grooves (8, 8) becomes minimum.

A butt crack swab with a pressed molded fiber substrate, a conformal flushable wipe and a binder material. The pressed molded fiber substrate is shaped to fit within the intergluteal cleft of a person and in close proximity to the cluneal cleft. The conformal flushable wipe is fused on top of the molded fiber substrate via the binder material. A preferred embodiment includes the pressed molded fiber substrate made of recyclable material.

To reliably prevent rear leakage. A sanitary napkin includes a plurality of widthwise compressed grooves which are disposed in a region to the rear of a region corresponding to a bodily fluid discharge part H of a wearer, extend in a substantially widthwise direction of the sanitary napkin, are formed in a shape bulging toward the rear, and are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the sanitary napkin; and a right and left pair of longitudinally compressed grooves which extend along substantially the longitudinal direction of the sanitary napkin and are each arranged on the outside in the width direction at a predetermined separating distance from the widthwise compressed grooves. The widthwise compressed grooves are formed such that the groove widths and lengths thereof become gradually larger as the widthwise compressed grooves are arranged relatively closer to the rear of the sanitary napkin.

A sanitary protective napkin has a backing panel having an overall length, a width and a thickness, in a first shape having an outer periphery, an absorbent pad joined to the backing panel by a first adhesive on one side of the backing panel, the absorbent pad having a second shape, leaving a region of a common width around the outer periphery of the backing panel, and a second adhesive compatible with human skin applied to the region of common width around the periphery of the backing panel on the same side of the backing panel as the absorbent pad, enabling a user to apply the sanitary napkin with no undergarment or other device for anchoring the sanitary napkin.

A protective panel has an upper oval potion having a maximum width of between three and five inches inclusive and a vertical dimension between two and four inches inclusive, a second portion, contiguous with the first portion, extending downward from the first portion, with a gradually declining width over a vertical dimension of between eight and twelve inches inclusive, and a third lowermost portion having a width between one-half inch and two inches inclusive, ending in a circular arc at the lowermost extent, the panel formed of a polymer film having a human skin-compatible adhesive on one surface, enabling a user to apply the panel to the user's anatomy.

An adsorbent pad including an elongated core positioned substantially in the center of the pad, wherein the core protrudes out of the top surface of the pad. The adsorbent pad helps to direct the flow of fluids such as urine and blood to the elongated core, so that the wearer of the pad experiences less leakage of fluids to help with leaks better coverage throughout the use of the pad.

A system for managing female incontinence includes a body of biocompatible material configured to fit between the labia minora and the vestibule floor, the body having a surface configured to occlude the urethral meatus, a first adhesive layer disposed on at least a first portion of the surface and configured to provide a sealing engagement between the body and the urethral meatus, and a second adhesive layer disposed over the first adhesive layer and configured to provide a sealing engagement between the body and the urethral meatus, wherein the second adhesive layer is removable from the first adhesive layer.

A sanitary pad, including an elongated body having an arcuate anterior end and a pointed posterior end. A first absorbent region of the elongate body is adapted, when the sanitary pad is used, to extend over the perineal region of a user's body, and a second region of the elongate body is adapted, when the sanitary pad is used, to extend over the anal region of a user's body. A pair of wings, adapted, when the sanitary pad is in use, to wrap around the user's underpants, extend perpendicularly outwardly from a midpoint of the elongated body.
