Sanitary pad with increased absorbability

Abstract

A multi layered sanitary pad having a unique contoured oval shape and design for snug fit, increased absorption, comfort, obscurity and enhanced leak prevention that includes a cotton oval or elliptical shaped body made up of very thin cotton contoured oval embossed fleece layers, cotton wadding layers, cellulose/SAF/SAP layers, and cotton contoured oval weave layers. The upper surface of the sanitary pad includes a central protrusion extending longitudinally and laterally from end to end and side to side, the cross-shaped protrusion including additional cotton wadding, coupled with cellulose/SAF/SAP layers for increased absorption and leak prevention for extended wear. The top surface protrusion also is shaped and sized to slightly penetrate the vaginal opening to ensure a snug comfortable fit to increase absorption and enhance leakage prevention along with extended wear. The top surface also includes (4) recessed portions surrounding the central protrusion area, again for a snug fit, additional absorption, leakage prevention and comfort.
