Carrying case for contraceptive devices

Abstract

A compact carrying case for contraceptive devices has a series of pouches and a compartment which hold various elements used in a birth control system. The pouches have an entrance side which has elastic closing means for holding partially enclosed devices in place. A lid is hingedly attached to the bottom of the case adjacent the open ends of the pouches. The compartment fully encloses an additional device in one of two ways, both of which permit easy cleaning. A compartment having an entrance edge may be provided with a flap which covers the edge and fastens shut. The edge itself may expand, or expanding sides may be provided on the compartment, for easy cleaning. In the alternative, the compartment may be hingedly attached to the bottom and have an elastic opening in the side adjacent the pouches. The case may be closed by folding the compartment over the pouches and fastening the lid of the case to the outside of the compartment. The compartment may be opened and unfolded for easy cleaning.
