Description(English)	Generally, tampon waste breeds bacteria easily, so improper tampon disposal will cause serious sanitation problems. This design only adds a cotton inner net and two cotton rings connecting the inner and outer layers of the tampon respectively. After taking out the used tampon, users could hold the outer cotton ring to open the inner tampon net, then pull the inner cotton ring to turn the inner net over. Finally, the menstrual blood is wrapped inside and users can discard the tampon in a ball. Such a solution maintains the comfort of user-wearing and seals the bacterial spread just through the tampon's own structure, without additional packs.
Description(Native)	通常情况下，已用卫生棉条的外层会吸附大量经血，容易滋生细菌。如果直接丢弃，容易产生一定的卫生问题，甚至传播不可控的感染疾病。尽管用户可以选择其他材料包裹卫生棉条丢弃，但材料获取很不方便，依旧会带来大大的困扰。该设计对卫生棉条进行迭代升级，使用巧妙的抽拉形式，将已用卫生棉条所需的包裹丢弃功能赋予到产品本身。我们只在原有卫生棉条内层增加两个部分，一个是能包裹基础经血量的透气棉内网，另一个是辅助抽拉的两条棉线圈（内棉线圈和外棉线圈）。用户取出用过的卫生棉条后，用外棉圈将卫生棉条撑开内网空间，用连接内网顶部的内棉圈拉拽，即可将内网翻开，将经血包裹在里面，然后成团丢弃。在保持佩戴舒适性的基础上，这样的设计处理让卫生棉条使用体验变得更简易流畅，不需要额外的材料包装，通过自身结构就能封闭细菌扩散源。同时，该种卫生棉条能增强社会公共环境的卫生安全，引起公众对私人卫生用品处理的更多关注，这在当前疫情预防控制中极其重要。
