Abstract: A body pillow includes an outer cover defining a pillow body formed along a longitudinal axis. The outer cover has a first end and a second end disposed along the longitudinal axis, and the outer cover includes a first section of stretchable material disposed between the first end and the second end. The body pillow also includes a first inner pillow disposed inside the outer cover, extending from a location proximate the first end of the outer cover toward the first section, and a second inner pillow disposed inside the outer cover, extending from a location proximate the section of stretchable material toward the second end of the outer cover. The body pillow is configurable between a first configuration, in which the first section of is untwisted, and a second configuration, in which the first section is twisted.

Abstract: A body pillow has an elongate body formed around an axis. An outer cover of the pillow includes a stretchy circumferential band of material disposed around the axis and to be spaced from either end of the pillow. Ends of first and second inner pillows are disposed near or under the circumferential band. The user may helically twist the body of the pillow around the axis at the circumferential band. Doing so separates the inner pillows and increases their firmness. An inner side of the outer cover may be made of a stretchy fabric that conforms to the body of the user, while outer side may be composed mostly of nonstretch material to retain the pillows' shape. The twisted and nontwisted configurations of the pillow make it an effective sleeping aid for expecting mothers during different stages of their pregnancies.

Abstract: A bathing system includes an elongate tub with a first and second end, a circumferential sidewall extending from the rim to the bottom, and opposing first and second walls. Channels are formed in each wall near the rim. The system includes a convertible sling made of flexible material with three panels. The first and second panels are joined together and secured to the tub rim, while the third panel has leg holes and is attached to the second panel. A bar at the end of the third panel connects to the channels in the tub walls. In a first configuration, the sling cradles an occupant of the tub with the first panel facing upward. In a second configuration, the occupant's legs extend through the leg holes, and the second panel rests on the tub floor, supporting the occupant in a seated position.

Abstract: An infant bathing system has a sling for receiving the body of an infant and a tub into which the sling is installed. A second panel of the sling has a first end that is joined to a second end of a first panel. A third panel has leg holes for the infant and a first end that is joined to the second end of the first panel and to the first end of the second panel. A bar connected to the second end of the third panel is adapted to span the tub and to be installed in channels in the tub walls. In one use configuration, the second panel is positioned above the third panel and occludes the leg holes in the third panel. In another use configuration, the third panel is positioned above the second panel and allows use of the leg holes.

Abstract: A device for packaging and dispensing a cosmetic product prepared by mixing a first and a second bulk comprises: a bottle defining a bottle reservoir containing the first bulk; a cartridge defining a cartridge reservoir containing the second bulk and comprising a seal, the cartridge being arranged between a disassembled configuration and a mounted configuration; a seal opening mechanism adapted to open the seal in the mounted configuration, the bottle reservoir and the cartridge reservoir being in fluid communication in the mounted configuration; and a dispensing apparatus. The cartridge comprises a removable cartridge-sealing plug designed to cover the seal in the disassembled configuration and being replaced with the bottle in the mounted configuration.
