Odor absorbing anal pad

An odor absorbing anal pad comprising:

• a pad member positionable into an abutting relationship with an anal region of an individual, the pad member comprising an upper web, and a lower web coupled to the upper web, the webs being shaped so as to define an outer peripheral edge of the pad member which extends from a first end of the pad member, along a medial portion thereof, and about a second end of the pad member, the pad member shaped so as to be enlarged at the first and second ends thereof such that a transverse width of the pad member proximal to the medial portion thereof is substantially less than a transverse width of the pad member proximal either of the first and second ends of the pad member, the pad member having a filler material positioned between the upper web and the lower web, a volume of granulated charcoal positioned in adjacency relative to the filler material and between the upper and lower webs, the pad member having a matrix of permeable chambers extending coextensively across an entire length and width and interior of the pad member and being positioned between the upper web and the lower web, each of the matrix of chambers containing a predetermined volume of granulated charcoal therewithin;
• a gluteus insert extending from an upper surface of the pad member for wedging positioning between gluteus-maximus muscles and into direct contact with an anus of the individual, the gluteus insert projects from an upper surface of the pad member and is formed as an extension of the upper web, the upper web of the pad member is caused to assume a shape of the gluteus insert defining a first end wall of substantially V-shape extending upwardly from the pad member proximal to the first end thereof, lateral walls extending upwardly from the upper surface of the pad member and parallel to a longitudinal axis directed through the first and second ends of the pad member, and a second end wall of substantially V-shape extending upwardly from the upper surface of the pad member proximal to the second end thereof, the lateral walls are substantially concave in shape so as to follow a natural curve of an elongated recess of an anal region of an individual, the gluteus insert including a medial portion thereof located centrally between the first and second end walls, the gluteus insert extending a first distance from the upper surface of the pad member at the first and second end walls thereof, and tapering to a second distance from the upper surface of the pad member at the medial portion thereof, wherein the first distance is substantially greater than the second distance.
