Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates generally to hygiene products, and in particular, to a refillable personal sanitary wipe dispensing device. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Today, many people have discovered that the timeworn combination of soap, water and faucets isn't the only way to clean one's hands, face, or otherwise “wash up.” There exist myriad anti-bacterial gels and wipes designed to help people cleanup wherever they may be. However, while personal sanitary gels cannot be used effectively on surfaces such as tables and kitchen counter-tops, a variety of sanitary wipes can be effectively used for these purposes. But they do have limitations, in that most types of sanitary wipes are packaged in relatively large and cumbersome containers and are thus awkward to conveniently carry from place to place, such as at the gym or when fly fishing. [0003] Therefore, what is needed is a refillable personal sanitary wipe dispensing device. SUMMARY OF THE IN...
