A sanitary product disposal container includes a container housing having a movable housing top cover, a movable housing bottom cover, and a sensor. A cover actuating mechanism may operably engage the housing top cover to actuate the housing top cover between open and closed positions. The sensor may operably interface with the cover actuating mechanism to facilitate deployment of the housing top cover between the open and closed positions responsive to sensing the presence of a person in proximity to the container housing. Accordingly, a used feminine hygiene product may be placed in the interior space of the container housing in the open position of the housing top cover without having to touch the container housing in order to open the housing top cover. The housing bottom cover may be selectively opened to facilitate removal of the used feminine hygiene products from the interior space.

A disposal unit includes a housing surrounding a cavity and an indication slot formed in the housing. An indicator system is mounted within the housing and includes an indicator arm movable between a start point not aligned with the indication slot and an end point aligned with the indication slot. When the indicator arm is in the start position, the indicator arm is configured to transition from the start point to the end point upon opening of a door of the housing. Conversely, when the indicator arm is in the end position, the indicator arm is configured to remain in the end point upon opening of the door of the housing.

Multiple, separable disposal bags for tampons and pads are wrapped around a center roll. Each bag is connected to the next bag on the roll by a seam that includes a slit and a series of perforations separating connection points between the bags. A bag tail secures the first bag to itself by a bag tail that has an adhesive portion and a free, tab portion. The adhesive portion is attached to the first bag at a first zone and to a different portion of the first bag at a second zone. A user can pull on the free-tab portion of the bag tail to detach the second zone of the adhesive portion from the first bag. The first zone of the adhesive portion remains attached to the first bag after the first bag is detached from the subsequent bag at their seam.

The present invention relates to a waste disposal device for refuse, comprising a container having a container opening and closing means that are positioned near to the container opening for substantially closing the container opening in such a way that odour release is prevented. The closing means comprising a drum housing comprising a drum opening and housing a drum body, wherein the drum body is pivotable between an insertion position for placing refuse in the waste disposal device and a transit position for aligning the refuse with the drum opening. The drum opening further comprising a flexible sealing member extending about the edge of the drum opening for that part that is closely connected to the external surface of the drum body, wherein the flexible sealing member having upwardly facing raised sealing portions in a direction away from the bottom of the container, that are in contact with the external surface of the drum body or wherein the flexible sealing member comprises two separated flexible sealing parts.
