KR-102962283-B1 - REUSABLE BREAST FEEDING PAD

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to nursing pads, specifically to reusable nursing pads. As an example according to the present disclosure, the reusable nursing pad may be composed of: an outer cover that contacts the inner side of a bra; an inner cover provided on the outer cover and in contact with the body; and an absorbent layer provided between the outer cover and the inner cover, wherein the absorbent layer forms at least one layer coated with an antimicrobial substance. According to the present disclosure, the pad may be capable of absorbing breast milk, etc., while allowing for easy drainage during washing; may provide a three-dimensional effect by cutting and sewing to improve comfort and usability; and may possess semi-permanent antimicrobial ability by being coated with an antimicrobial substance that prevents infection and proliferation of mold, bacteria, fungi, etc., even when absorbing breast milk or other moisture.

1. An outer cover made of thermoplastic polyurethane material with a thickness of 1 mm, in contact with the inner side of the bra; An inner cover made of 40-count pure cotton, provided on the outer cover above and in contact with the body; and It is formed by laminating in a triangular shape with rounded corners, comprising an absorbent layer having a double laminate structure of 40-count pure cotton provided between the outer cover and the inner cover. The above absorption layer is a first absorption layer and a second absorption layer, Each of the above-mentioned absorbent layers forms at least one layer coated with an antimicrobial substance harmless to the human body, and each has a thickness of 1.5 mm. The above inner cover has a thickness of 1 mm, A hollow is formed where the nipple is located, An incision of a predetermined length is formed in the direction toward the hollow from the lower part, and the incision is formed such that the gap between the two sides widens as it moves from the center toward the lower part, and is cut in a triangular shape. The two ends of the above-mentioned incision are joined together to form a single incision line, and A first seam located between the hollow and the end portion and sewn to wrap around the hollow; and a second seam located between the first seam and the end portion and sewn close to the end portion are further included. The first seam above prevents the breast milk ejected from the nipple from leaking out through the hollow after the absorbent layer has absorbed the breast milk. The second seam above is intended to prevent breast milk stored in the absorbent layer from leaking out toward the end, and The first seam above is sewn in the same shape as the hollow above, and The above second seam is sewn in the shape of a nursing pad, and The above end portion is characterized by being finished to be water-repellent using a banding band.

Description

Reusable breast feeding pad The present disclosure relates to nursing pads, and specifically to reusable nursing pads. Generally, nursing pads are considered one of the essential daily necessities for nursing women. Specifically, when a mother breastfeeds her infant after childbirth, the breasts are exposed to allow the nipple to latch on, so a bra can be a hindrance. However, if a mother does not wear a bra, there are problems such as strain on the shoulders and postural deformities due to the breasts becoming significantly larger as the mammary glands develop and milk fills the breasts periodically, or pain caused by sagging breasts, as well as poor hygiene as milk leaks from the nipples. Therefore, nursing bras need to be more functional than regular bras, as they must serve the dual purpose of quickly exposing the nipple to latch on the infant when a newborn demands milk while simultaneously providing adequate breast support. However, conventional products and literature, such as patents, were merely designed to facilitate breastfeeding and lacked excellent absorbency and breathability, leading to problems such as the bra becoming wet from leaked breast milk, chafing, bacterial growth, and discomfort. To address this issue, a method of absorbing breast milk by inserting an absorbent material into a bra, as disclosed in Korean Published Patent Application No. 10-2005-0031707 (Breast milk pad), is primarily used. Recently, various nursing pad products made to fit the shape of the breast using diverse absorbent materials have emerged. However, these nursing pads have the disadvantage of being uneconomical because they contain chemical absorbents that can cause allergies, and they also incur costs due to their disposable nature. Meanwhile, as disclosed in Korean Registered Patent Publication (B1) No. 10-2051760 (nursing bra that does not require a separate absorbent pad), this invention relates to a nursing bra that does not require a separate absorbent pad due to its excellent breast milk absorption and drying performance. The present invention includes a nursing bra product composed of a main body with a cup portion attached that includes a permeable layer, an absorbent layer, and a waterproof layer, a back strap, and a shoulder strap, wherein moisture is dispersed over a sufficiently wide area of the fabric so that breast milk and sweat do not seep out onto the outer garment. However, while this has the advantage of being formed as an integral part of the bra and thus not requiring a separate absorbent pad, it has the disadvantage that if the nursing bra is contaminated with breast milk, etc., it must be disposed of as a whole when changing or washing. Next, as disclosed in Korean registered patent publication (B1) No. 10-2354063 (nursing bra with replaceable breast milk absorbent pad), a nursing bra with replaceable breast milk absorbent pads capable of improving convenience has been provided. However, in the disclosed invention, the nursing pad is configured to open and close, and between the inner and outer surfaces of the absorbent pad, an absorbent surface made of polymer material and a molded surface made of medical-grade PU foam material are provided, and the outer surface is provided with a multifilament yarn material so that the breast milk absorbent pad can be attached to the main body without using a separate fixing member through the frictional force between the outer surface of the breast milk absorbent pad and the main body, thereby making it easy to attach and detach.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating one side of a reusable nursing pad according to the present disclosure.
