Abstract:
A personal feminine hygiene device comprising a curvilinear frame. The curvilinear frame can include a plurality of disk members disposed around and extending from the curvilinear frame, wherein the larger diameter or radius disks can be disposed around an approximate or equal midpoint of the curvilinear frame, and wherein the diameter or radius of the disks gradually decreases moving from the approximate or equal midpoint to the terminal ends of the curvilinear frame. The device can further include a bowl-shaped member extending from one end of the curvilinear frame. The bowl-shaped member can include a series of slats formed therein. The bowl-shaped member can be further characterized by having a cap at its anterior end, wherein the cap terminates at a convex shaped tip. The tip can be especially configured to access the crease adjacent to the cervix where debris, e.g., mucous, tends to pool, while the slats and the disks assist in removing and containing debris from the vaginal and cervical walls.
