Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] This disclosure may be better understood by referring to the following figures. The components in the figures are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the disclosure. In the figures, the reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the different views.

[0024] FIG. 1 is a front perspective view illustrating one example of a feminine care device according to the teachings of the present disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] FIG. 1 illustrates one example of an implementation of a feminine care device. As described herein, the device is a cylindrical shaped hand-held unit with a comfortable grip and small tapered tip for ease of vaginal entry. Multiple small, short tapered smooth soft bristles cover a substantial portion of the cylinder. There is an ergonomic base of the cylinder for easy grip easy to rotate in the vaginal cavity.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of one example of a feminine care device 100 according to the teachings of the present disclosure. As shown, the device 100 includes an elongated cylindrical shaped body 110 having a tapered tip 120 formed at one end of the body 110, and a base portion 130 formed at an opposite end of the body 110. The body 110, together with the tip 120 and the base portion 130 may resemble the shape of a bullet. The various components of the device may be made of plastic, ceramic, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), medical-grade silicone for softness, or any other suitable medical-grade material.

[0027] The device 100 further includes a plurality of small short tapered smooth soft bristles 140 covering a substantial portion of the body 110. In some implementations, the bristles may cover seven centimeters of the body 110.

[0028] The ergonomical base portion 130 of the body 110 forms a grip 132 that may be engaged by a user to rotate the body 110 in a vaginal cavity.

[0029] In some implementations, the diametrical dimensions of the body 110 may be 1.3 centimeters and the length may be 9 centimeters.

[0030] A plurality of slits or holes 112 are formed in the walls of the body 110 to prevent a vacuum effect when the device is inserted into the vaginal cavity.

[0031] The interior of the body 110 may be hollowed, allowing for the use of a second piece plunger 150 to deliver natural oils and medications to the vaginal cul-da-sac and the entire vaginal canal, including the vaginal sidewalls.

[0032] The plunger 150 is a separate cylindrical shaped unit configured to fit within the hollowed interior of the body 110. The plunger 150 may be constructed to a total length of 12.7 centimeters to extend the body 110 an additional 3.7 centimeters. The plunger 150 locks in place with rotation grove and screw in place as an extension arm to lengthen the body 110, or it can smoothly be pushed straight up to fit the hollowed interior to deliver medications and oils for therapeutic use.

[0033] The medications and oils may be delivered from the hollowed interior via the slits and holes 112 and applied to vagina with the assistance of the bristles 140.

[0034] The body 110 and plunger 150 maybe be easily disassembled for purposes of cleaning the components. In addition, the body 110 and plunger 150 may be easily transported in a carrying case. The body 110 and plunger 150 may be used in tandem or alone.

[0035] It is preferred to package the device in a small case with power cord and UV light to prevent bacteria growth. Another option is to tote the device in a small cylinder case, resembling a lipstick carrying case.

[0036] The recommended use will be daily in the shower or in a private space where there is a sink to wet the device before insertion and wash the device after use.

[0037] It is recommended to replace the device monthly, or replace the base unit after a number of uses.

[0038] The device may be easy to clean with soap and water, and air dried or towel dried before placing in the UV case.

[0039] The device may remain in the shower between uses or can be portable in the same carrying case.

[0040] The device may be made in many vibrant colors.

[0041] All components of the device will be made from materials free of any chemical byproduct and safe for insertion into a body cavity.
