Abstract
An absorbent sanitary protection device, designed so as to be worn intralabially, includes an absorption body with a first surface which is intended to face a wearer during use and a second surface which is intended to face away from the wearer during use. The absorption body of the sanitary protection device is made from a preformed, dehydrated hydrogel and is in the shape of a spoon with a cup-shaped portion arranged on the first surface and an elongate handle-shaped portion which, by way of the preforming, includes a portion which, on wetting, swells and forms a raised portion on the first surface of the protection device.

An absorbent sanitary protection device, comprising:
- an absorption body with a first surface which is intended to face a body of a wearer during use and a second surface which is intended to face away from the body of the wearer during use, said absorption body being made from a preformed, at least partly dehydrated hydrogel;
- said absorption body further including a cup-shaped portion arranged on the first surface for positioning against the body of the wearer and an elongate handle-shaped portion arranged on the first surface which, by way of the preforming, comprises a portion which, on wetting, swells and forms a raised portion on the first surface.
An absorbent sanitary protection device, comprising:
- means for absorbing fluids from a body of a wearer, said absorption means including a first surface which is intended to face the body of the wearer during use and a second surface which is intended to face away from the body of the wearer during use, said absorption means being made from a preformed, at least partly dehydrated hydrogel;
- front positioning means for positioning the device against a front portion of the body of the wearer, said front positioning means being arranged on the first surface;
- and
- rear positioning means for positioning the device against a rear portion of the body of the wearer, said rear positioning means being arranged on the first surface and including expansion means, which, on wetting, swells and forms a raised portion on the first surface.
A method of using an absorbent sanitary protection device, comprising the steps of:
- providing an absorbent sanitary protection device having an absorption body formed into a spoon shape from swollen hydrogel;
- and
- positioning the absorbent sanitary protection device onto a body of a user whereby upon wetting, the absorption body swells and forms a raised portion on the absorption body.
