Tampon detection system

A tampon wetness detection system comprising:

• (a) a tack-shaped housing having a distal end and a proximal end, said proximal end being shaped and dimensioned for insertion into a distal end of an absorbent body insertable into a vagina, said proximal end of said housing being fluid permeable;
• (b) a radio frequency identification device being implemented in said housing, said radio frequency identification device including a transmitter;
• (c) a conductive wetness sensor being in said proximal end of said housing and in electrical communication with said radio frequency identification device, such that when said conductive wetness sensor senses wetness said radio frequency identification device is operable;
• and
• (d) a remote-reporting device including a receiver for receiving a radio signal concerning the wetness of the absorbent body from said radio frequency identification device and further including a reporting mechanism for reporting a user of the wetness of the absorbent body.

A tampon assembly comprising:

• (a) an absorbent body insertable into a vagina;
• (b) a radio frequency identification device being implemented in contact with said body, said radio frequency identification device including a transmitter;
• and
• (c) a sensor being implemented in contact with said body, said sensor being in electrical communication with said radio frequency identification device, such that when said sensor senses a substance or parameter said radio frequency identification device is operable.

A system for detecting a substance or a parameter of a body fluid comprising:

• (a) a tampon assembly comprising:
• (i) an absorbent body insertable into a vagina;
• (ii) a radio frequency identification device being implemented in contact with said body, said radio frequency identification device including a transmitter;
• and
• (iii) a sensor being implemented in contact with said body, said sensor being in electrical communication with said radio frequency identification device, such that when said sensor senses a substance or parameter said radio frequency identification device is operable;
• and
• (b) a reporting device including a receiver for receiving a radio signal from said radio frequency identification device and further including a reporting mechanism for reporting a user of the wetness of the tampon.
