Description

Tampon booster applicator and tampon product set comprising same

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a tampon booster applicator and a tampon product set comprising the same.

Background

At present, the permeability of the tampon in European and American markets reaches 70% -80%, but the domestic market share is less than 3%; the sanitary cotton strip can prevent side leakage, has excellent absorption capacity, directly absorbs menstrual blood in vivo, keeps the body clean and dry, and is convenient to move.

Although sanitary napkins still belong to mainstream products in menstrual products of domestic women, the permeability and the occupancy of the sanitary napkins in the domestic market exceed 95%, which means that the market of the sanitary napkins is basically saturated and is very difficult to grow, large-scale domestic sanitary napkin enterprises attack the tampon market and conduct a great amount of promotion and education in order to occupy the market share of the sanitary products, nowadays, tampons are widely used in developed countries in Europe and the United states, and it is believed that more and more women can select to use the tampons in the near future, and the tampons have a wider market prospect in China.

A tampon is a cylinder with super absorbent capacity and consisting of fibers. Tampons currently on the market are mainly classified into a finger push type tampon and a catheter type tampon. The former is pushed into the body with the fingers while in use, and the latter is pushed in with the aid of an applicator catheter.

The finger-push tampons are less expensive to sell than the catheter tampons, and the annual costs are increased by about 1 times when using finger-push tampons as compared to sanitary napkins, and about 2-3 times when using catheter tampons. Thus, in the long term, consumers prefer to purchase and use finger-pushed tampons. For domestic consumers, most women are used for the first time or cannot be operated skillfully when using the sanitary towel. However, the use of a push tampon is not very skilled for beginners.

However, the catheters of the catheter type tampons are all disposable at present, so that the environmental pollution is seriously increased, and the resources are wasted. While there have been some products or related studies for tampon applicators that push a finger-push tampon into the body, existing tampon applicators include a housing and a pushrod structure that is pushed to place the tampon into the body. However, existing tampon applicators often have the following problems in use: the pull string of the tampon is easily pushed into the body by mistake as the applicator is pushed, so that the consumer needs to pay extra attention to the position of the pull string when using the applicator, and the use is inconvenient; the conventional tampon applicators do not have a limit structure between the plunger and the housing, and may cause physical injury to the user by pushing the plunger excessively into the body.

Disclosure of Invention

To overcome the above disadvantages, it is an object of the present invention to provide a tampon applicator which is easy to assemble, easy to use, and reusable, providing great convenience to the consumer when using a finger-push tampon.

The tampon booster applicator comprises a shell, wherein a containing cavity for placing a tampon is arranged in the middle of the shell, the tampon booster applicator further comprises a push rod capable of extending into the shell, the shell is provided with a tampon plugging end and a tampon discharging end, the shell is also provided with a pull rope leading-out hole, the shell is also provided with a notch communicated with the pull rope leading-out hole, the notch extends to the edge of the shell far away from the tampon discharging end, the shell is made of a precipitate-free antibacterial material, and the push rod is made of a precipitate-free antibacterial material. Therefore, when the tampon booster applicator is used, the pulling rope of the tampon is pulled into the pulling rope leading-out hole from the notch, so that the position of the pulling rope does not need to be particularly noticed when the tampon is pushed into a body, and the tampon is convenient to use; in addition, the shell and the push rod of the tampon applicator are both made of antibacterial materials, so that the tampon booster applicator can be prevented from being polluted by microorganisms, and the use safety is ensured. The tampon booster applicator is prepared from antibacterial materials, can be repeatedly used for many times without being easily polluted by microorganisms, thereby effectively reducing the using amount of the disposable catheter, saving the using cost and reducing the environmental pollution.

Furthermore, a guide tube is further arranged at the end, close to the tampon plugging end, of the shell, and the pull rope leading-out hole is formed in the guide tube. Therefore, after the pulling rope of the tampon is firstly led out from the pulling rope leading-out hole on the guide tube, the pulling rope is always at the position close to the tampon plugging end, and the pulling rope cannot be pushed into the body by mistake due to the pushing of the push rod.

Furthermore, one end of the push rod is provided with a limiting table, the limiting table can be abutted to an opening at one end of the guide tube, which is far away from the discharge end of the tampon, and the other end of the push rod can extend into the shell. Therefore, when the push rod is pushed, when the limiting table is abutted to the opening of the guide tube, the push rod is not continuously pushed into the body, and the push rod is effectively prevented from being excessively pushed into the body.

Furthermore, the stand pipe is loudspeaker form, the internal diameter of the stand pipe with the one end that the casing is connected is less than the internal diameter of keeping away from the one end of casing.

Furthermore, a pushing platform capable of contacting with the tampon is arranged at one end, opposite to the limiting platform, of the push rod, and the diameter of the pushing platform is smaller than the inner diameter of the connecting part of the guide tube and the shell. Thus, the push rod can smoothly pass through the housing and smoothly push the tampon into the body.

Further, the length of the push rod does not exceed the sum of the length of the shell and the length of the guide tube.

Furthermore, the sanitary cotton strip discharging device further comprises an elastic limiting opening part connected with the sanitary cotton strip discharging end of the shell, the limiting opening part is made of antibacterial materials, a discharging port for the sanitary cotton strip to pass through is formed in the middle of the limiting opening part, and the inner diameter of the discharging port is not larger than the diameter of the sanitary cotton strip. Therefore, under the blocking of the limiting opening part, the tampon placed in the shell can be prevented from falling out of the shell, and the elastic structure of the limiting opening part can ensure that the tampon is smoothly pushed into the body.

The invention also provides a tampon product set, which comprises the tampon boosting applicator and at least one tampon, wherein a tampon can be placed in the shell, and a pull rope of the tampon positioned in the shell can extend out of the shell from the pull rope outlet hole.
