Color coordinated and reinforced wings on feminine hygiene products

A method of using a personal hygiene product that is worn inside an undergarment of a user, and color coordinated therewith, said method comprising:

• providing a menstrual pad disposed in a plane and having a rectangular shape that is contoured such that it narrows in a middle portion, wherein the menstrual pad is comprised of a first layer that is in contact with skin, an absorbent second layer, and a third layer, wherein the first layer is an absorbent material that wicks moisture away from the skin, wherein the absorbent second layer is disposed between the first layer and the third layer of the menstrual pad, wherein the absorbent second layer absorbs bodily fluids that pass through the first layer, wherein the third layer is waterproof and provides a buffer between the absorbent second layer and the undergarment, and wherein the third layer is a non-white color;
• providing planar wings formed as extensions of the third layer, extending outwards from the menstrual pad, disposed in the plane thereof, and disposed on either side of the menstrual pad where the menstrual pad narrows, wherein the two wings are reinforced by being thicker than the third layer such that the two wings fold on a line defined by the location where the two wings extend outwards from the body;
• and
• providing adhesive strips disposed on an underside of the two wings so that the wings may be attached to the undergarment to hold the menstrual pad in place;
• exposing the adhesive strips;
• disposing the menstrual pad on an inner surface and on a gusset of the undergarment with the first layer facing away from the gusset;
• and
• folding the two wings so that the gusset is at least partially disposed between the third layer and the two wings so that the adhesive strips are disposed against an outer surface of the undergarment.

A personal hygiene product that is worn under or attached to an undergarment of a user and is color coordinated therewith, said product comprising;

• a menstrual pad having a generally planar and rectangular shape that is contoured such that it narrows in a middle portion, wherein the menstrual pad is comprised of a first layer that is in contact with skin, an absorbent second layer, and a third layer, wherein the first layer is a permeable material that wicks moisture away from the skin, wherein the absorbent second layer is disposed between the first layer and the third layer of the menstrual pad, wherein the absorbent second layer absorbs bodily fluids that pass through the first layer, and wherein the third layer is waterproof and provides a buffer between the absorbent second layer and the undergarment;
• two wings formed as extensions of the third layer and disposed on either side of the menstrual pad where the menstrual pad narrows, wherein the two wings are reinforced by being thicker than the third layer of the menstrual pad such that the two wings fold on a line defined by where the two wings meet the menstrual pad;
• and
• adhesive strips disposed on an underside of the two wings so that the wings may be attached to the undergarment to hold the menstrual pad in place.
