Description

Urine aid for women {URINE UTENSIL FOR WOMEN}

The present invention relates to a urinary aid device for women that can hygienically allow women to urinate and promote vaginal health.

Because of the structure of a woman's body, the urethra is hidden in the labia minora of the genitals, so when urinating, urine flows down the urethra around the urethra or toward the buttocks. For this reason, it is difficult to manage not only the vaginal entrance, but also the entire vulva and anus, and it is difficult for women to feel uncomfortable.

To solve this problem, most modern women wipe off the urine around the urethra with a tissue when urinating to keep it clean, but this is not a very satisfactory solution.

In addition, as the prevalence of bidets is rapidly increasing, there are more cases where it is possible to wash the genitals immediately after urinating. It is also known to increase the risk of cystitis or urethritis.

Conventional portable urinal aids have a problem in that the inlet is too wide and the inlet is in close contact with the entire genital area, including the labia majora, so that urine is deposited on the entire vulva during urination. In addition, there is no urine auxiliary device that can provide freshness by absorbing residual urine on the vulva after urinating in addition to preventing the urine from leaking out.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be described in detail with respect to the configuration of the urine auxiliary device for women according to the present invention.

1 is a perspective view showing a urine aid device for women according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the female urine aid device according to the embodiment has an inlet 10 through which urine is introduced, a discharge unit 20 that is a discharge passage for urine introduced through the inlet 10, and an outer peripheral surface of the discharge unit 20 . It is disposed on the inner surface of the protrusion 30 and the discharge unit 20 formed in the absorbent urine, and includes a moisture absorption member 40 containing beneficial bacteria in the vagina therein. In FIG. 1 , the inlet 10 surrounds the labia minora 17 , is aligned to include the lower perineum of the vagina including the urethra and vagina, and is a space into which urine flows, and the moisture absorption member 40 corresponds to the vaginal inlet 19 . to absorb the inflow of urine. The rim of the inlet 10 surrounds the labia minora 17 , and the moisture absorption member 40 corresponds to the vaginal inlet 19 . Here, the labia minora is a thin skin fold without hairs formed in the vertical direction on the inside of the left and right labia majora, and the front part starts to cover the clitoris and surrounds the urethra and vaginal entrance. The inlet 10 is preferably formed in an oval shape, that is, a candle shape, with a sharper front side of the urine output from the urethral opening 18 than the rear side on which the moisture absorption member 40 is formed. This allows the urine to be discharged well according to the structure of the woman's body. Urinary aid for women according to an embodiment of the present invention can be manufactured in various sizes of the inlet 10 so that it can be used from infants to adults.

Urine introduced into the inner space of the discharge unit 20 through the inlet 10 is discharged to the discharge unit 20 and leaks toward the vaginal inlet 19 at the same time, at this time, the urine is disposed on the inner surface of the discharge unit 20. The moisture absorption member 40 may absorb the inflow of urine.

The moisture absorption member 40 may be manufactured by compression molding a nonwoven fabric made of compression tissue, natural pulp, or rayon. Here, compressed tissue is a type of toilet paper with excellent moisture absorption and volume expansion. The moisture absorption member 40 may contain beneficial bacteria in the vagina that are beneficial to the vaginal health of women. For example, beneficial bacteria in the vagina may be attached to the surface of the moisture absorption member 40 in the form of a powder. Alternatively, beneficial bacteria in the vagina may be supported in a carrier such as a capsule and present inside the moisture absorption member. The beneficial bacteria in the vagina may include Lactobacillus and the like. As the moisture absorption member 40 absorbs urine, beneficial bacteria in the vagina contained in the moisture absorption member 40 may be released to the outside. As a result, beneficial bacteria in the vagina are introduced into the vaginal inlet 19 to prevent vaginitis and improve vaginal health.

The discharge part 20 is formed in a funnel shape inclined downward to the center, so that urine can be discharged by being guided downward. The lower end of the discharge unit 20 may be appropriately processed so that a urine collection unit (not shown) for receiving urine can be detached.

It is preferable that the moisture absorption member 40 is installed spaced apart so as not to touch the edge of the inlet 10 . This is to provide stability during use by preventing the moisture absorption member 40 from reducing the entire area of the inlet 10 , which is a space into which urine is introduced.

When the moisture absorption member 40 absorbs urine in advance in the process of urination, it is difficult to absorb residual urine after urination due to poor absorption, and since it gradually swells and can reduce the entire area of the inlet 10, the surface to absorb residual urine after urination Coated is preferred. For example, a capsule may be formed by coating the surface of the moisture absorption member 40 with a material containing animal protein or vegetable protein such as gelatin. Since the dissolution rate is different depending on the thickness and material on which the coating layer is formed, the thickness and material can be coated differently depending on the area. In one embodiment, a portion of the surface of the moisture absorption member 40 may be coated thinly, and the rest may be coated thickly. For example, in the process of urination, a thick coating of an area that is easy to come into contact with urine can be made to dissolve slowly. In addition, two or more materials having different dissolution rates may be mixed to coat the surface of the moisture absorbing member 40 so that the coating layer is removed with a time lag in the urination process. In addition, a multi-coating structure may be formed on the surface of the moisture absorption member 40 . For example, a first coating layer may be formed of a hydrophilic material on the surface of the moisture absorption member, and a second coating layer may be formed of a hydrophobic material outside the first coating layer. Alternatively, a moisture absorption member may be further disposed between the first coating layer and the second coating layer. As a result, residual urine that has not been discharged to the lower portion of the discharge unit 20 after urination is absorbed by the moisture absorption member 40 so that sanitary treatment is possible.

Figure 2 is a front view of the urine aid device for women according to an embodiment of the present invention. The inlet 10 is ergonomically curved so as to adhere well to the labia minora, and the moisture absorption member 40 may have a hemispherical shape with a protruding upper portion to closely adhere to the vaginal inlet. The protrusion 30 may be formed in at least one region of the outer peripheral surface of the discharge unit 20 to prevent the hand from slipping and to facilitate manipulation.

3 shows a state in which the moisture absorption member 40 of the reusable female urine aid device according to the first embodiment of the present invention is detachably installed. The fitting groove 22 is formed on the inner surface of the discharge part 20 so that the moisture absorption member 40 can be detachably inserted into the fitting groove 22 . The moisture absorption member 40 is inserted into the fitting groove 22 so that it is used once and discarded, so that the urine aid for women according to the first embodiment of the present invention can be hygienically reused. The urine aid device for women according to the first embodiment of the present invention is formed of a silicone or plastic material, so it can be washed and used repeatedly. Urinary aid for women according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the moisture absorption member 40 may be in a hemispherical shape with an upper portion protruding so that it is in close contact with the vaginal entrance.

5 is a front view of a female urine aid device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 5 , the female urine aid device is manufactured for one-time use so that the moisture absorption member 40 may be integrally formed on the inner surface of the discharge unit 20 . In the second embodiment of the present invention, the female urine aid may be formed of a paper material to be able to fold and unfold. The moisture absorbing member 40 may be manufactured by applying a nonwoven fabric made of compressed tissue, natural pulp or rayon material on paper. The moisture absorption member 40 has an upper end that protrudes from the inlet 10 , and a portion corresponding to the vaginal inlet is sharp and inclined toward the rear end, so that it can be ergonomically designed. In addition, since the moisture absorption member 40 is installed to be spaced apart from the edge of the inlet 10 , the overall area of the inlet 10 may not be reduced. After the user aligns the device in a flatly folded state so that the urethral tool 18 is in the inner space of the inlet 10, the inlet 10 becomes an oval shape by pressing the folded edge by hand, and the moisture absorption member 40 is unfolded. It can be made to correspond to the vaginal entrance. Preferably, the protrusion 30 has the advantage of easier hand manipulation due to the protrusion of the protrusion 30 when pressing the corner portion formed with the hand. When the user presses the instrument in the folded state by hand, the instrument is unfolded and an oval funnel shape is easily made, and the urethral tool 18 is expanded so that the instrument is easily attached to the body.
