  • Patent number: 5740554
    Abstract: This invention comprises a mitten device for sanitarily removing a tampon from a body cavity of an individual and thereafter disposing of the tampon through the solid waste system as opposed to the plumbing system. The mitten is adapted to fit over a hand and wrist and has a front side and a back side. The mitten has an unitary finger portion, a partially detached index finger portion, a thumb portion, a mid-section, a cuff portion, an absorbent pad affixed to the mid-section on the front side of the mitten, and an adhesive tab. The unitary finger portion includes a grasping portion on the front side of the middle finger near the fingertip. In use the mitten is utilized to remove the tampon for disposal from an individual's body. The individual then makes a fist around the tampon. The mitten is then inverted and rolled, and secured with the adhesive tab, thereby encasing the tampon within the mitten for sanitary, compact disposal.
