The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention(s). It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art, or material, to the presently described or claimed inventions, or that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
The present invention relates generally to the field of personal hygiene systems and more specifically relates to a personal hygiene bottle and kit comprising a cleaning solution formed as a water and H2O2 solution structured and arranged to be used to splash away particles and debris on and near the vagina during a woman's menstrual cycle.
A douche is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygienic reasons, or the stream of water itself. Douche usually refers to vaginal irrigation, the rinsing of the vagina, but it can also refer to the rinsing of any body cavity. A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching—a bag for holding the fluid used in douching. To avoid transferring intestinal bacteria into the vagina, the same bag must not be used for an enema and a vaginal douche.
Douching after sexual intercourse is not an effective form of birth control. Additionally douching is associated with a number of health problems (cervical cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and increased risk of sexually transmitted infections) and thus is not recommended.
Various attempts have been made to solve problems found in personal hygiene systems art. Among these are found in: U.S. Pat. No. 5,858,010 to Melodye W. Berry; U.S. Publication No. 2010/0258140 to Sharon H. Creed; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,392,492 to Ernest Pick. This prior art is representative of personal hygiene systems that when used may help a woman feel fresh and clean during a menstrual cycle.
Ideally, a personal hygiene bottle and kit should be user-friendly and safe in-use and, yet should operate reliably and be manufactured at a modest expense. Thus, a need exists for a personal hygiene bottle and kit comprising a cleaning solution formed as a water and H2O2 solution structured and arranged to be used to splash away particles and debris on and near the vagina during a woman's menstrual cycle and to avoid the above-mentioned problems.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known personal hygiene systems art, the present invention provides a personal hygiene bottle and kit (entitled Splash Bleu). The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail is to provide a personal hygiene bottle and kit comprising a cleaning solution formed as a water and H2O2 solution structured and arranged to be used to splash away particles and debris on and near the vagina during a woman's menstrual cycle.
A personal hygiene bottle comprising: elongated container portion; a flexible wall; an aperture; a first nozzle portion; and a second nozzle portion. The elongated container portion includes an elongated interior volume adapted to retain a cleaning solution therein. The elongated container portion forms an elongated axis; The flexible wall is adapted such that when the flexible wall is squeezed said cleaning solution can be forced outwardly therefrom. The aperture has a center point offset from the axis of the elongated container portion and is adapted to allow the cleaning solution to be forced outwardly from the elongated container portion.
The first nozzle portion includes attachment portion, an elongated neck portion, and a single aperture. The attachment portion adapted to be releasably connected to the elongated container portion and surround the aperture thereof, such that the cleaning solution can be forced into the nozzle portion. The elongated neck portion adapted to allow the cleaning solution to pass therethrough. The single aperture located on a distal end thereof adapted to allow the cleaning solution to flow outwardly therefrom such that the cleaning solution flows in a single stream at an angle to the axis of said elongated container portion.
The second nozzle portion includes an attachment portion, an elongated neck portion, and a plurality of spaced apertures located on a distal end thereof. The attachment portion adapted to be releasably connected to the elongated container portion and surround said aperture thereof, such that the cleaning solution can be forced into the nozzle portion. The elongated neck portion adapted to allow the cleaning solution to pass therethrough.
The plurality of spaced apertures located on a distal end thereof each adapted to allow said cleaning solution to flow outwardly therefrom in a plurality of streams at differing angles to the axis of said elongated container portion. A user can choose between the first and second nozzle portion depending on the desired function of the second bottle member.
A personal hygiene kit comprising: a first bottle member; a second bottle member; a plurality of dry wipe members; a mini-douche member; a cleaning solution; and a carrying pouch member. The second bottle member includes an elongated container portion forming an elongated axis, including an elongated interior volume adapted to retain a cleaning solution therein. Wherein the elongated interior volume of the second bottle member is larger than the interior volume of the container portion of the first bottle member. The cleaning solution is adapted to be placed within the respective interior volumes of the first and second bottle members. The carrying pouch member is adapted to releasably retain the first and second bottle members, the plurality of dry wipe members, the mini-douche member, and the cleaning solution therein.
The present invention holds significant improvements and serves as a personal hygiene bottle and kit. For purposes of summarizing the invention, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention have been described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, the invention may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves or optimizes one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other advantages as may be taught or suggested herein. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.
The figures which accompany the written portion of this specification illustrate embodiments and method(s) of use for the present invention, personal hygiene bottle and kit (entitled Spash Bleu), constructed and operative according to the teachings of the present invention.
The various embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein like designations denote like elements.
As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention relate to personal hygiene system and more specifically relates to a personal hygiene bottle and kit (entitled Spash Bleu) comprising a cleaning solution formed as a water and H2O2 solution structured and arranged to be used to splash away particles and debris on and near the vagina during a woman's menstrual cycle.
Generally speaking, Splash Bleu is a mini squeeze bottle filled with water and H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) solution. This squeeze bottle will be used to splash away the particles and debris on and near the vagina during a woman's menstrual cycle. This product will be sold separately in a dual pack, or in a kit which will include a carrying pouch with dry wipes, two Splash, and a mini-douche with water and H2O2 solution. SPLASH eliminates particles and bacteria that may occur during a woman's menstruation cycle.
