Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to clothing undergarments. More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel underwear garment for females or males that includes a disposable or sanitary pad holder sewn therein. More specifically, the underwear garment includes a holder that securely and removably accommodates and secures a disposable or sanitary pad thereby prohibiting the pad from shifting and wrinkling while being worn by a wearer. The pad remains in place and ensures contact or bodily touching with at least the perineum and crotch area and thus effectively absorbs menstrual flow or other fluid discharge without any leaks associated with use of disposable pads used in conjunction with conventional underwear. Accordingly, the present disclosure makes specific reference thereto. Nonetheless, it is to be appreciated that aspects of the present invention are also equally applicable to other like applications, devices, and methods of manufacture.


BACKGROUND

By way of background, tampons are generally used by females for absorbing menstrual flow. Tampons are little cotton cylindrical pads designed to be inserted into the vagina with or without an applicator. Tampons come in different absorbencies to accommodate light to heavy periods. However, many females do not use tampons due to discomfort, excessive flow, and other preferences. Tampons can dry out the vagina and cause irritation and itching. Also, finding the right size of tampon takes some trial and error.


The biggest downside to wearing tampons is the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS). TSS is a rare but life-threatening complication caused due to certain types of bacterial infections and is primarily associated with use of tampons.


Often females use menstrual pads for absorbing menstrual flow. Generally, pads are rectangular absorbent material that adhere to the inside of underwear or are placed inside of the underwear garment. An advantage of the pads is that they are placed outside the vagina but they commonly get shifted out of place and wrinkle up towards the center. This shifting and wrinkling can result in embarrassing fluid leaks and permanent stains. Lack of security of positioning of the menstrual pads is a common problem and females desire a way of securely positioning their disposable menstrual pad.


Further, conventional undergarment/underwear causes a menstrual pad to directly touch the vagina of a wearer and thus the pad may cause irritation, infection, and more to the wearer. Individuals desire an improved way of wearing and using menstrual pads such that the pad does not directly touch the vagina of the wearer.


Conventional underwear for females especially panties, thongs, and others are ineffective in holding a menstrual pad. Further, all types of female underwear do not have a specific slot or holder positioned appropriately for accommodating a menstrual pad such that the pad is prohibited from shifting or losing its shape. Females desire an improved underwear for appropriately placing and positioning a menstrual pad inside the underwear for absorbing menstrual flow.


Therefore, there exists a long-felt need in the art for an improved undergarment for females and males that enables a disposable pad to be securely placed therein. There is also a long-felt need in the art for an underwear garment that prohibits shifting and wrinkling of the disposable pad placed therein. Additionally, there is a long-felt need in the art for an improved underwear garment that has a slot or holder for appropriately receiving and accommodating the disposable pad. Moreover, there is a long-felt need in the art for an underwear garment that maintains comfort of a wearer during a menstrual cycle or during the course of the day. Further, there is a long-felt need in the art for an improved underwear garment that prevents any leaks associated with using a disposable pad during the menstrual cycle or during incontinence. Finally, there is a long-felt need in the art for a user-friendly underwear garment that effectively holds the disposable pad and maintains its shape, size, and position inside the underwear garment.


The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a brief-style female underwear garment. The underwear garment is configured to secure a sanitary pad in an integrated holder ensuring that the pad remains in place for absorbing menstrual flow and prohibiting any leaks associated with using a disposable pad during menstrual cycle. The female underwear garment further comprising a first leg opening and a second leg opening, a waistband, an absorbent material or sanitary pad holder sewn and positioned along a crotch covering region of the underwear, the holder has a pair of opposing longitudinal seams, a pair of lateral seams, an elastic cuff positioned along each of said longitudinal seams and lateral seams, wherein the cuffs create a shallow cavity for receiving and accommodating a menstrual pad, and the cuffs further function as walls for prohibiting movement and shrinkage of the menstrual pad.


In this manner, the menstrual pad-holding female underwear garment of the present invention accomplishes all of the forgoing objectives and provides females with a brief shaped undergarment that has a sewn holder for accommodating a menstrual pad, maintaining comfort, and prohibiting any leaks associated with using the menstrual pad. The holder is integrated to the underwear for receiving a pad and ensuring the pad remains in place thereby prohibiting leaks associated with using a disposable pad during a menstrual cycle

The present invention, in one exemplary embodiment, is a novel female underwear garment with a sewn or molded menstrual pad holder. The female underwear garment includes the menstrual pad holder sewn inside the underwear such that the holder bodily (i.e. directly) touches the crotch area of the wearer, and the holder provides an enclosed space having an opening for inserting and removing a sanitary pad therein. The holder has elastic seams for accommodating pads of various sizes.


Referring initially to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a front perspective view of one potential embodiment of the menstrual pad holder underwear of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture. The menstrual pad holder underwear garment 100 of the present invention is preferably designed as a brief-style undergarment that has a holder sewn inside therein for holding a disposable menstrual pad. The underwear 100 is easy to wear and can be constructed of a breathable fabric. Further, the underwear 100 enables female hygienic/menstrual pads to be placed securely inside the holder and thus prevents any leaks associated with using a pad during menstrual cycle by eliminating shifting and wrinkling of the pad.


More specifically, the underwear 100 has a right leg opening 102 and a left leg opening 104. The leg openings 102, 104 are used for receiving legs of a wearer enabling a user to wear the underwear 100. The underwear 100 further has a waistband 106 for securing around a waist of the wearer and creating an opening 1060 for wearing the underwear 100. As illustrated, along the crotch covering region 108 of the underwear 100, a menstrual pad holder 110 is positioned. The holder 110 is positioned inside the underwear 100 such that holder 110 is in bodily contact with the crotch area and more specifically, is in contact with at least a perineum area of the female wearer.


As illustrated in the front view, the holder 110 is dimensioned and designed to accommodate any conventional sanitary pad used for absorbing menstrual flow. The front end 112 of the holder 110 is positioned on front portion 114 inside the underwear and is symmetrically positioned to the back end 202 (shown in FIG. 2) of the holder 110. The portion of the holder 110 extending from the center of the crotch (shown in FIG. 3) covering region 108 to the front end 112 may also be referred to as front portion of the holder 110.


The holder 110 has elastic seams as illustrated in FIG. 4 that enables secure and stable placement of a sanitary pad even when a high movement activity is performed by the wearer of the underwear 100. Further, any type of absorbent articles for menstrual flow can be accommodated by the holder 110. The underwear 100 comes in a variety of sizes, designs, and materials making the underwear 100 suitable for everyday use.


The underwear 100 of the present embodiment has a unitary structure wherein the holder 110 is integrated inside the underwear 100. The holder 110 can be made of the same material as of the underwear 100 and alternatively can be made from a thin layer of an absorbent material. The absorbent material can be selected from the group consisting of wood pulp, cross-linked cellulosic fibers, synthetic fibers, and more.



FIG. 2 illustrates a rear perspective view of the brief style underwear 100 of the FIG. 1 in accordance with the disclosed architecture. As illustrated, the back portion 204 of the underwear 100 also has a portion of the holder 110 sewn inside. The back end 202 can be positioned symmetrical to the front end 112. The portion of the holder 110 extending from the center of the crotch covering region 108 to the back end 202 may also be referred to as rear portion 116 of the holder 110.


It should be noted that the holder 110 includes a slightly tapered shape extending from the ends 112, 202 to the center of the crotch covering portion 108. The holder 110 has elastic seams that function as walls for holding a sanitary pad in the holder 110.



FIG. 3 illustrates a planar top perspective view of the underwear 100 of the present invention showing the position and shape of the holder 110 inside the underwear 100 in accordance with the disclosed architecture. As illustrated, the holder 110 is positioned between the leg openings 102, 104 such that holder 110 and the accommodated sanitary pad (shown in FIGS. 4 and 5) bodily touches or covers at least the perineum of a wearer and thus effectively absorbs the menstrual flow. The holder 110 prohibits shifting and shrinking of the accommodated sanitary pad even during brisk movements of the wearer, such as when the wearer is playing a sport. The front end 112 and the center 302 of the crotch covering region forms the front portion 304, and the rear end 202 and the center 302 of the crotch covering region forms the rear portion 306. The front end 112 and the rear end 202 are wider and the holder 110 tapers towards the center 302. The holder 110 is sewn and integrated inside the underwear 100 allowing a user to use the underwear 100 as a conventional underwear garment without holding a sanitary pad and can be used as menstrual flow absorbing device with a sanitary pad accommodated inside the holder 110.


The longitudinal tapered seams 308, 310 extending between the front end 112 and the rear end 202 are sewn and are elastic allowing sanitary pads of various sizes to be accommodated easily inside the holder 110.



FIG. 4 illustrates a detailed view of the brief style underwear 100 of the present invention showing a sanitary pad being accommodated in the holder 110 in accordance with the disclosed architecture. More specifically, FIG. 4 illustrates a detailed view of the holder 110. As illustrated, the longitudinal seams 308, 310 of the holder 110 have elastic cuffs 402, 404 extending slightly upward from the seams 308, 310 respectively. The cuffs 402, 404 function as walls and accommodate and secure a sanitary pad 406 placed in the holder 110. The front end 112 and the rear end 202 may also have similar cuffs 408, 410, respectively. The cuffs 402, 404, 408, 410 form a shallow cavity for accommodating the sanitary pad 406. The cuffs are elastic and sewn along the edges and provide stability to the sanitary pad 406 even in fast movement by a wearer of the female underwear 100. The sanitary pad 406 touches the perineum area of the wearer allowing the pad 406 to easily absorb menstrual flow of the wearer. Further, the pad 406 can be easily removed from the holder 110 and replaced with a new pad.


It should be noted that the cuffs can be bent and made flat when the underwear 100 is to be worn without accommodating the sanitary pad 406 inside the holder 110. The underwear 100 can be used as a conventional underwear garment for daily use and not just for menstrual flow cycles.


Further, the holder 110 is configured to accommodate any type of absorbent material and can be used by adults (i.e. females and males) for accommodating adult diaper material or other absorbent material to alleviate the problem of incontinence (i.e. urine or fluid discharge). This can obviate the need of using a complete diaper by an adult.



FIG. 5 illustrates a perspective view of another embodiment of the sanitary pad holder that can be integrated inside the female underwear 100 of the present invention for accommodating a sanitary pad in accordance with the disclosed architecture. In the present embodiment, the holder 502 has three sewn elastic edges including sewn elastic longitudinal edges 504, 506 and a rear end 508. An open end 510 is positioned on a front portion of the underwear 100 thereby allowing a user to insert a sanitary or disposable pad 512 inside the holder 502. The holder 502 may have a removable and absorbable cloth covering 514 for creating a cavity along with the sewn edges 504, 506, 508 for accommodating the disposable pad 512.


The sanitary or disposable pad 512 can be removed from the open end 510 as per preferences of the user. It should be noted that the length of the holder 502 is designed to cover crotch area (specifically at least the perineum area) of the wearer and thus protecting the wearer from embarrassing leaks, fluid or urine discharge, and permanent stains due to shifting and unstable positioning of the disposable pad 512.


The invention also discloses a method for securing a disposable or sanitary pad inside an underwear for prohibiting fluid leaks associated with using a disposable pad during menstrual cycle and/or bladder incontinence. The method includes the step of providing a brief-style underwear for females or males, the underwear having a holder sewn therein and positioned to cover at least the perineum area of a wearer; inserting a disposable or sanitary pad inside the holder; wearing the underwear; removing the disposable or sanitary pad from the holder after the pad has sufficiently absorbed menstrual flow or fluid discharge and accommodating a new disposable or sanitary pad in the holder.



FIG. 6 illustrates a detailed view of the brief style underwear 600 of the present invention showing a sanitary pad being accommodated in the holder 610 in accordance with the disclosed architecture. More specifically, FIG. 6 illustrates a view of the holder 610. As illustrated, the longitudinal seams 618, 620 of the holder 610 can include cuffs 622, 624 extending slightly upward from the seams 618, 620 respectively. The cuffs function as walls and accommodate a sanitary pad 606 placed on top of the holder 610. The front end and the rear end can also have a front cuff 628 and a rear cuff (not illustrated), respectively. The cuffs 622, 624, 628 form a border for accommodating the sanitary pad 606 therebetween. The cuffs 622, 624, 628 are elastic and sewn along the edges and provide stability to the sanitary pad 606 even during strenuous movements of a wearer of the female underwear 600. The sanitary pad 606 touches the perineum area of the wearer allowing the pad 606 to easily absorb menstrual flow of the wearer. Further, the pad 606 can be easily removed from the holder 610 and replaced with a new pad.


It should be noted that the cuffs 622, 624, 628 can be bent and made flat when the underwear 600 is to be worn without accommodating the sanitary pad 606 inside the holder 610. The underwear 600 can be used as a conventional underwear garment for daily use and not just for menstrual flow cycles.


Further, the holder 610 is configured to accommodate any type of absorbent material and can be used by adults (i.e. females and males) for accommodating adult diaper material or other absorbent material to alleviate the problem of incontinence (i.e. urine or fluid discharge). This can obviate the need of using a complete diaper by an adult.


The sanitary pad holder underwear garment 100, 600 of various embodiments of the present invention includes a variety of colors, sizes, and designs and can be worn daily. Any of conventional manufacturing and sewn techniques like zig zag technique can be implemented to manufacture the underwear garment 100, 600.
