Definitions

  • the user of a hygiene article will use a wipe to clean the area of skin associated with the wearing of the hygiene article.
  • a wet or dry wipe such as a disposable towelette.
  • pre wrapped wipes have been provided with individual hygiene articles such as sanitary napkins.
  • the prewrapped wipes have either been packaged with the hygiene article, or fixedly attached thereto.
  • Hygiene articles do not completely eliminate a "moist" feeling during use, particularly in an occluded area, or when the user is hot or sweaty.
  • a wipe combination that could be modified according to specific uses.
  • it would be desirable to provide a product for use in combination with a hygiene article that would provide a pleasing smell to the user and increased odor control.
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a packet combination of the present invention.
  • FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of section D-D of FIG. 12 showing a packet and sanitary napkin.
  • FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of section D-D of FIG. 12 showing packets and sanitary napkin.
  • the packet can have a scored or die cut line of weakness to allow the packet to be opened easily with a tab, easy peel label, or any other opening mechanism; a "Dry-edge" sticker mechanism, such as a sticker with a dry edge for grasping; releasable adhesives; releasable heat and/or pressure seals; perforations; rupture seals; tear seals; or the packet can be made of a relatively easy to tear material such as, an easy to tear film.
  • the wipe may comprise a woven or nonwoven web of natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or mixtures of natural and synthetic fibers. Natural fibers may include cellulosic fibers, such as wood pulp fibers, cotton, and rayon.
  • Synthetic fibers may include fibers such as, polyolefins, for example polyester and polypropylene fibers.
  • the wipe can comprise a paper material, for example, paper material that is made of a wet-laid material in a manner used to produce toilet tissue or facial tissue.
  • the wipe can comprise silk and/or foam, such as foam disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,260,345 issued Nov. 9, 1993 to DesMarais et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 5,387,207 issued Feb. 7, 1995 to Dyer et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 5,817,704 issued Oct. 6, 1998 to Shiveley et al.; U.S. Pat. No.

  • the powder may, in certain embodiments, provide to the user a comfort effect such as moisture or wetness reduction (feeling of dryness); provide fragrance immediately, or over time; a reduction in malodor; reduction in perspiration; reduction in itching; moisturizing the skin; a reduction in chafing; prevention from over drying; a cooling/soothing effect as provided, for example, by camphor; improved skin health/medicinal effect, such as the reduction in microbial growth.
  • the powdered substrate may be used before, or after, the wipe.
  • One advantage of the wipe and powdered substrate is that combinations can be provided, wherein the wipe and powdered substrate confer to the user a greater benefit when used in combination, as compared to using a wipe or powdered substrate alone.
  • Each flap 48 may also have one or more attachment means 60.
  • the attachment means 60 is associated with the face of the flap 48, which contacts the undergarment of the wearer. That is, each flap 48 has an undergarment contacting face, or portion that contacts the wearer's undergarment, in use.

In certain embodiments, the topsheet 42 has a plurality of apertures to permit liquids deposited thereon to pass through to the absorbent core 46. Such apertures may, but need not, be present in the flaps 48. Topsheets 42 may be made in accordance with U.S. Pat. No. 4,342,314 issued Aug. 3, 1982 to Radel et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 4,463,045 issued JuI. 31, 1984 to Ahr et al.

That is, to access the packet 10 of the present invention requires little more effort than is already being expended by the user. This is an advantage as the user is often concerned with speed, ease of use, and discreteness during the changing of a sanitary napkin 40. For example, the user may be in a location, such as a public restroom stall, that makes movement difficult, particularly while trying to maintain cleanliness. At these times, the user does not want to have to manage complicated or inconvenient steps to access an item such as the packet 10 while at the same time installing a sanitary napkin 40.
  • the packet 10 joined to the release strip 66 could contain a wipe 20, which allows the user to first clean any residual menses from the pudendal region. The user could then dispose of the wipe 20 and packet 10 before continuing to use the sanitary napkin 40. When the user desires, they then may access the other packet 10a containing the powdered substrate 22 so as to apply powder to themselves, the sanitary napkin 40 or any other desirable area.
  • packets 10, 10a may have indicia on them, such as printing to communicate to a user a sequence in which the wipe 20 and powdered substrate 22 may be used.
