A tampon disposal packaging that can be used to secure both an un-used and used tampon has a wrapper body and an adhesive strip. The wrapper body has a primary wrapping layer, a secondary wrapping layer, and a sealable perimeter. In a first configuration, the primary wrapping layer is folded over to encase the secondary wrapping layer, the adhesive strip, and a tampon, wherein the sealable perimeter secures the edges of the primary wrapping layer together. The primary wrapping layer has a pocket portion that forms a pocket in conjunction with the secondary wrapping layer, allowing for the disposal of the tampon once the primary wrapping layer has been opened. Further, the primary wrapping layer has a flap portion to which the adhesive strip is connected. The flap portion can be folded over the secondary wrapping layer in order to close the pocket and secure the tampon within the pocket.

A sanitary device for insertion into a body cavity having a perforated casing in which a medicant is located within a distal portion of the casing and a semi-rigid absorbent material is located within a proximal portion of the casing. A plunger extends into the casing from the proximal portion and is movable to force the semi-rigid absorbent material into contact with the medicant which forces the medicant out of the distal portion of the casing. Unwanted body fluids can drain into the proximal portion and are absorbed by the semi-rigid absorbent material.A second embodiment of the invention includes an applicator for inserting a body insert into the body cavity. The body insert includes a semi-rigid absorbent material surrounded by a thin sheet of a lubricating material such as Telfa. The body insert may also include a medicant.

The (distal) insertion end of the tampon applicator section essentially fits inside the proximal portion of the sleeve, and the distal portion of the sleeve is designed to accommodate a feminine hygiene product, such as a pad, a disposable wipe, a towelette disposal mitt, a simple disposal bag, and other products associated with menstruation.
摘要:
A sealed tampon package and continuous process for making the package. Heat seals, preferably hermetic longitudinal and cross seals, are preferably peelable. The tampon is sealed under sufficient negative pressure to snugly retain the tampon in place without crushing or misshaping the tampon, yet without bursting the package under normal external pressures realized during storage. The tampon package will remain sealed during normal wear and tear, yet is easily opened when desired by peeling the seals.
