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.

According to one embodiment, an absorbent article includes a moisture-impervious outer layer, an inner layer substantially co-extensive with the outer layer, and an absorbent layer interposed between the outer layer and the inner layer. The inner layer is treated with at least one antimicrobial booster. The absorbent layer is treated with at least one antimicrobial agent.

The embodiments disclose an apparatus including a child sanitary napkin including a disposable child sanitary napkin underwear, wherein the child sanitary napkin includes a waterproof non porous outer layer, an adhered superabsorbent polymer layer, an odor absorbing activated charcoal pad layer with a soft cotton covering layer, an imprinted product barcode and an embedded RFID chip for tracking the child via a digital device cellular connection, wherein the child sanitary napkin includes a shape contoured to a female anatomical groin area, wherein the child sanitary napkin includes flared front and rear terminus areas to increase an adhesive bonding area, wherein the child sanitary napkin includes sizes conforming to children's clothing and age sizes, and age appropriate decorative images including stickers to apply to the child sanitary napkin outer surface.

The present disclosure generally relates to an absorbent pad for use in a garment. The absorbent pad includes: a liquid impermeable barrier layer; a functional layer attached to the barrier layer, the functional layer comprising a liquid absorbent component; a liquid impermeable peripheral sealing element bonded to peripheries of the functional layer and barrier layer; and a peripheral attaching element having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion bonded to the peripheral sealing element. The second portion of the peripheral attaching element is detached from the peripheral sealing element and is arranged to be attached to a fabric body of the garment, thereby attaching the absorbent pad to the garment.

An osmotic sanitary collection bag for collecting fluid discharged from the vagina during menstruation. The osmotic sanitary collection bag includes an absorbent sponge having a plurality of drainage apertures disposed therethrough. Elongated adhesive strips extend away from the sponge and are adhered to a first surface of a conventional sanitary device to secure the osmotic sanitary collection bag in place. A collection bag abuts the absorbent sponge and is disposed in underlying relation to the absorbent sponge and the drainage apertures. The absorbent sponge is laced with salt, alcohol, and an odor-masking substance, such as sodium bicarbonate.

A sanitary product disposal device includes an outer telescopic member and a flexible inner liner for holding a sanitary product to be dispensed. The outer telescopic member is adjustable between a collapsed position and an expanded position. The telescopic member has two sealable ends. The inner liner has a dispensing end at one of the two sealable ends. The dispensing end of the liner is configured to receive a sanitary product. The telescopic member is in the collapsed position before receiving a sanitary product, and in the expanded position after receiving the sanitary product.

According to one embodiment, an absorbent article includes a moisture-impervious outer layer, an inner layer substantially co-extensive with the outer layer, and an absorbent layer interposed between the outer layer and the inner layer. The inner layer is treated with at least one antimicrobial booster. The absorbent layer is treated with at least one antimicrobial agent.
