Abstract:

A totally biodegradable and therefore flushable, mini-pad with a unique kite shape which minimizes movement or slippage. A filler of cellulose fragments is sandwiched between cellulose panels which are then sealed about their circumference by heat and pressure. The kite shaped pad has a length of approximately fourteen centimeters and a width of approximately ten centimeters, and therefore fits comfortably and securely between the thighs while providing adequate coverage of the labia.
