Abstract: A method of manufacturing an insert system for footwear includes assembling electronic components. The electronic components include a sensor array having physiological sensors. Each physiological sensor includes a first high resistance layer configured to be in contact with a second high resistance layer when no force is applied to the sensor. The method further includes positioning the sensor array between a first layer and a base layer. An insert system for footwear includes a first layer, a base layer, a sensor array between the first and base layers, and a circuit board. The sensor array includes physiological sensors. Each physiological sensor includes a first high resistance layer in contact with a second high resistance layer when no force is applied to the sensor. The circuit board can transmit signals external to the system to trigger an alert being issued to a user, based on an output of the sensor array.

Abstract: A prosthesis comprising a pancake-shaped body, a narrowed neck and a flared flattened handle sized and shaped to shield the posterior vaginal wall from frictional contact during coitus. The pancake-shaped body unfurls during insertion and provides for the prosthesis to be retained within the vagina and the flared flattened handle prevents the prosthesis from entering the vagina during insertion of the prosthesis or during coitus. This prosthesis decreases the volume of the vagina and decreases the area of the vaginal opening providing a non-surgical, cost-effective solution to tightening a woman's vagina. The posterior vaginal wall prosthesis enables women who have larger vaginas to use tampons.

Abstract: A prosthesis comprising a flattened lobe (100), a neck (110) and a handle (120) sized and shaped to shield the posterior vaginal wall from frictional contact during coitus. This self-retaining prosthesis comprises a means to retain the flattened lobe (100) within the vagina and a means to prevent the handle (120) from entering the vagina during insertion of the prosthesis or during coitus. This prosthesis decreases the volume of the vagina and decreases the area of the vaginal opening providing a non-surgical, cost-effective solution to tightening a woman's vagina. The posterior vaginal wall prosthesis enables women who have larger vaginas to use tampons.
