Abstract

These days, there is only one model, of panty liner on the market, in terms of size, shape and use (for traditional panties). NO-PROBLEM panty liner has different features: it is about 10.5 cm long, has an asymmetric shape on either side of a dividing line, it is about 5.5 cm large at the top, but only about 2 cm large at the bottom, it is almost about 1 mm thick (depending on its model and use); its shape can have 0 (zero) to more angles. It is shaped so as to fit better, not to create any inconvenience and to become invisible. It can be used with G-strings, scanty underwear, see-through or lace panties, as a substitute for normal liners, better protection with tampons or during the days when the menstrual flow is mild, and for leukorrhea or other vaginal discharges between menstruations as well.

Description

DESCRIPTION PANTY LINER FOR USE WITH A TANGA UNDERGARMENT

TF.ΓΉNICAL FIELD

The utility model described below is referred to the field of sanitary towels and panty liners.

RΆΓKGROUND ART

The national and international markets offer only one model of panty liner in terms of size ( more or less 15 cm long) , shape symmetric on either side of two dividing lines ) and use (for traditional panties) . m-.qr-iiOSURE OF INVENTION

NO-PROBLEM PROTEGGI SLIP ( panty liner ) has different characteristics from what has been described above; these allow it to be used with other underwear , when wearing ordinary liners would turn out to be impossible or unpleasant to see.

NO-PROBLEM is about 10.5 cm long , asymmetric in shape on either side of a dividing line, about 5.5 cm large on top , which gradually go down to about 2 cm at the bottom, and about 1 mm thick (thickness can vary based on the model and/or use, for example: gradually variable thickness starting from the edges ; different thickness according to the kind of absorbing power necessary in a particular stage of the menstrual flow) .

Moreover, 0 (ZERO) to more angles can be included in its shape.

NO-PROBLEM has a completely adhesive surface, but part of it may also be non-adhesive for easy use (easy removal of the adhesive wrap) .

It is shaped to better fit the body , thus avoiding all bothering inconveniences or any visible , unaesthetic sign.

It is also asymmetric in shape on either side of a dividing line , but a symmetric model can be made by varying its size.

Unlike the already existing panty liners, NO-PROBLEM can be used with G-strings , scanty sportswear or underwear , lace or see-though panties or as a substitute for ordinary panty liners when these turn out to be unpleasant to see ( see-through and/or tight-fitting trousers and skirts, where the back or the end of panty liners may be visible) .

Furthermore, the above-mentioned utility model can be used for better protection together with tampons or when the menstrual flux is mild, or for leukorrhea or other vaginal discharges between menstruations; but mainly , as it has already been stressed, for a helthier use of one particular piece of underwear, the G-string, which is becoming more and more popular with women. It is rapidly flooding both the national and international markets but it has been impossible so far to use normal panty liners while wearing it ; and yet panty liners are part of the culture and personal health habits of every modern woman.
