Mi Bliss: Biodegradable Antimicrobial Sanitary Pad with pH-Balancing and Multi-Layer Absorbent Composition Type of Invention: The present invention is a product-based and composition-based biomedical innovation in the field of feminine hygiene. It specifically relates to a biodegradable, antimicrobial, and pH-balanced sanitary pad comprising a seven-layered structure engineered with functional biopolymers and natural bioactives. This layered arrangement provides synergistic benefits including moisture management, infection control, odor reduction, and skin pH maintenance. The invention thus qualifies as a novel sanitary product with a unique compositional formulation. The industrial applicability lies in the large-scale production of eco-friendly, health-conscious menstrual hygiene products, making it a valuable advancement in the domain of sustainable biomedical product. The invention is novel in its layered composition, biopolymer utilization, and bioactive integration method, offering a safe, sustainable alternative to conventional pads. The primary objective of this invention is to develop a biodegradable, pH-balanced, and antimicrobial sanitary pad that ensures effective menstrual hygiene management while minimizing environmental harm. The invention aims to: • Provide a skin-friendly and irritation-free solution using natural bioactive agents applied on the bamboo fiber top sheet. • Maintain the natural vaginal pH through a specialized CMC-alginate-lactic acid composition, thereby reducing the risk of infections and promoting vaginal health. • Achieve high absorbency and prolonged dryness by incorporating biodegradable SAP and fluff pulp, while eliminating the need for synthetic polymers. • Offer odor control and antibacterial protection using an anion strip and herbal actives, without harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances. • Ensure complete biodegradability, using PLA films and natural fibers, to address plastic waste concerns caused by conventional sanitary pads. • Support scalability and commercial viability by using materials and manufacturing methods compatible with existing production infrastructure, with minor modifications.
