A feminine sanitary fold device that is constructed from a soft, flexible, and absorbent material is disclosed herein. The device can be used to absorb fluids related to menstruation in a sanitary and hygienic manner. The feminine sanitary fold device is composed of absorbent organic materials, and free of chemicals. The feminine sanitary fold device is distinctly shaped, generally conforming to the shape of a woman's vagina. In particular, the feminine sanitary fold is structured as a “fold” of material that is generally curved inward. Thus, the shape of the device is particularly adapted to allow the “fold” to be form-fitted to the inward curve of a woman's anatomy and rest comfortably at the vaginal opening, between the folds of vagina for secure and stable positioning during use.

Urinary incontinence devices generally include a body configured to be inserted into a vagina. The body may have a proximal insertion portion, a plurality of legs coupled to and extending distally from the insertion portion, and a distal retrieval portion. The plurality of legs may each have a length, a width, and a distal end, and the distal ends of the plurality of legs may be coupled together. The body may have a compressed configuration, an expanded configuration, and a lateral cross-sectional diameter, and the lateral cross-sectional diameter of the body may be largest at the widest point of each of the plurality of legs. Methods of treating urinary incontinence may include loading a urinary incontinence device into an applicator, inserting the applicator into the vagina, advancing the incontinence device out of the applicator to position a distal end of the device past the pelvic floor, and removing the incontinence device from the vagina using the distal retrieval portion.

A menstrual pad assembly for absorbing menstrual fluids includes a menstrual pad that has a first portion which is perpendicularly oriented with a second portion such that the menstrual pad forms a plus shape. An absorbent member extends upwardly from the second portion of the menstrual pad to extend between a user’s genitalia and the user’s buttocks when the menstrual pad is worn. The absorbent member absorbs bodily fluids thereby inhibiting the bodily fluids from escaping the menstrual pad. A ridge extends upwardly from the second portion of the menstrual pad to surround the user’s genitalia when the menstrual pad is worn. The ridge is comprised of a fluid absorbent material to inhibit bodily fluids from escaping the second portion.

A packaged feminine care absorbent article has an absorbent article with an absorbent structure and a shell. The absorbent structure is configured for disposition adjacent a female wearer's vaginal region. The shell is configured for supporting the absorbent structure at the vaginal region. The shell has a body-facing surface and a garment-facing surface. The body-facing surface has an adhesive thereon for adhering the shell directly to the wearer. The absorbent structure is attached directly to the garment-facing surface. The absorbent article is configurable between a packaged configuration and a use configuration. The absorbent structure is folded longitudinally about at least one transverse fold line and transversely about at least one longitudinal fold line in the packaged configuration. A portion of the shell overlies a portion of the absorbent structure in the packaged configuration.

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.
