Feminine hygiene
Feminine hygiene products have been widely used in the past for vaginal hygiene. A variety of feminine hygiene products are in use for dealing with menstrual discharge. Of these, the most common are tampons, sanitary napkins, and panty liners. Feminine hygiene products are designed to absorb and retain liquid and other discharges from the human body and to prevent soiling of the wearer's body and clothing. Sanitary napkins and panty liners are types of absorbent articles worn by women. A wide variety of shapes and dimensions of such articles are currently used by women for the collection of menses and other bodily discharges. Interlabial devices are feminine hygiene products that are typically designed to be worn within the interlabial space of a wearer. Tampons are designed to be worn within the vaginal interior. A typical tampon includes an absorbent section and a withdrawal string, both typically of cotton. The absorbent section is compressed into a cylindrical shape for insertion into the vagina. Sanitary napkins are a type of absorbent article worn by women in a pair of panties that is normally positioned between the wearer's legs, adjacent to the perineal area of the body. A sanitary napkin ordinarily includes a top sheet on the body-facing surface, an absorbent layer, a liquid impervious back sheet, and adhesive fasteners on the garment-facing surface of the back sheet. A release strip or release paper protects the adhesive fasteners. A panty liner or panty shield is similar in construction to a sanitary napkin, but is generally smaller and thinner. An overwrap is occasionally provided for individual sanitary napkins; a common type is a tri-fold wrapper of thin paper or plastic.
