Kids Encyclopedia Facts


Carolyn R. Mobley is an inventor who patented a tab construction for a sanitary napkin in 1971.

Overview

Her idea was to add a pressure-sensitive adhesive strip near the end of the tab, covered with a fairly stiff cover strip. This stiffness makes the tab easier to thread through the clasp or grip of a sanitary belt. The woman then removes the cover strip and uses the adhesive patch to roll up the napkin for disposal.
