OVERVIEW

Further, the present disclosure describes an article for absorbing bodily discharges of a user. Further, the article may be a sanitary leakage preventive fin (fin).

Further, the fin is attached to a pad (sanitary pad). Further, the fin is placed in a space between the buttocks. Further, the fin prevents the menstrual discharge from flowing out from the space between the buttocks creating a barrier and additional absorption. Further, the pad with the fin promotes a more secure fit to the body and prevents secretions (menstrual discharge) from leaking through empty spaces that can form between the body and the pad. Further, the fin includes thin wings with a soft upper surface and an adhesive lower surface for ensuring the reliable and comfortable attachment of the fin to the pad surface.

Further, the present disclosure describes an additional vertical element for feminine sanitary pads. Further, the additional vertical element is an auxiliary means of protection against leaks of menstrual discharge. Further, the additional vertical element is designed to prevent leakage and leakage of secretions (menstrual discharge) outside the pad during sleep or other situations associated with a horizontal body position. The additional vertical element is called the “fin” which is attached to the surface of the sanitary pad, namely to the central part of its back half in order to be located and held in the intergluteal space. In this way, the “fin” provides a barrier between the secretions and the wearer's underwear, preventing the secretions from leaking out through the free space between the buttocks, which is now filled with the “fin”. The “fin” consists of an edge and two wings on the sides, with the help of which it is attached to the surface of the pad. The “fin” consists of two main layers: The upper covering layer which is designed to protect the skin from secretions and pass them to the second layer. Further, the upper covering layer is made from natural hypoallergenic materials. Further, the second layer is a bottom absorbent layer which is designed to absorb and retain secretions. Further, the bottom absorbent layer is made from loosely arranged cellulose, synthetic, cotton fibers (wadding), and other absorbent natural or synthetic materials.

Further, the present disclosure describes an additional vertical element for a feminine sanitary pad (pad), called a “fin”. This fin is designed to prevent leaks and prevent secretions from flowing outside the pad, especially during horizontal body positioning, such as during sleep. The fin attaches to the center back of the pad and acts as a barrier between the discharges and the wearer's underwear. The fin consists of two main layers: a top protective layer to protect the skin from secretions and a lower absorbent layer to retain secretions.

Further, the present disclosure describes sanitary products for period hygiene. Further, the sanitary products may include a fin. Further, the fin is a special addition to period night pads. Further, the fin ensures 100% safety from blood leaks. Further, the fin may be attached to a period pad (such as a sanitary pad, an absorbent pad, a pad, etc.). Further, the fin has three sizes. Further, the fin has patterns embossed onto its surface from the inside and a sticky part on the outside. Further, the patterns go evenly into perforations comprised in the fin. Further, the sticky part goes on a back side of a middle portion of the fin. Further, the fin is attachable to the pad, specifically to its tail. Further, the pad includes a marking line on the pad to indicate to the user a location for sticking the fin. Further, the pad must be included in a package. Further, the pad may have three sizes. Further, the marking line shows a stick-to place on the pad. Further, the pad may be branded on the wings part of the pad. Further, a set of the sanitary products may include 30 pads, 30 fins, and 30 wet wipes. Further, the wet wipes have a neutral pH and no fragrance. Further, the wet wipe is non allergic.

Further, the sanitary products may include pads of 3 sizes, fins of 3 sizes, wet wipes with a neutral pH and no fragrance, branded packages for pads, branded packages for fins, branded packages for wipes, and branded boxes of 3 sizes. Further, the wet wipes may be hypo-allergic. Further, a branding of the pads goes on a contour part of the pads. Further, the pads include a colored place to show where the fins go. Further, the fins are branded with embossed print.
