Problems solved by technology

Hygiene articles, such as incontinence devices, tampons, sanitary napkins, and diapers do not completely prevent body exudates from soiling areas of the skin.
Therefore, unless the individual has some means to clean himself or herself within close proximity, they will remain soiled with the unwanted material.
In addition to the cleanliness concerns associated with the use of hygiene articles, there is often the problem of immediate and residual malodor.
These unpleasant odors, combined with the close contact of the hygiene article with the body surface, along with the general moistness of the areas where hygiene articles are worn, and the usually extended time period during which the hygiene article is worn, often while soiled, can cause an even greater malodor.
The production and then release of this malodor during removal of a hygiene article is often distressing to the user.
Hygiene articles do not completely eliminate a “moist” feeling during use, particularly in an occluded area, or when the user is hot or sweaty.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]As used herein, “hygiene article” refers to articles that absorb, block, and / or contain body exudates discharged from the body, and which may be placed within, against or in proximity to the body of a user. Examples of hygiene articles include feminine hygiene pads, tampons, pessaries, inter labial pads, adult incontinence products, training pants, and baby diapers.

[0021]The term “joined”, as used herein, encompasses configurations in which a first element is directly secured to a second element. Joined also includes configurations in which the first element is indirectly secured to the second element by securing the first element to at least one intermediate member, which in turn is secured to the second element. Additionally, the term joined covers configurations in which the first element is integral with the second element, such that the first element is part of the second element. The first element and the second element can be fixedly joined, or releasably joined.

Abstract

A packet, or packet combination, containing a wipe and powdered substrate is provided. The packet, or packet combination, may be used in conjunction with a hygiene article such as a sanitary napkin. The wipe is used to clean an area of skin or hair that has residual menstrual, urinary, or fecal material left behind after the removal of a hygiene article. The powder may then be used to provide an added benefit such as odor control. An order of use can be dictated by locating the packets containing the wipe and powdered substrate in specific positions on the hygiene article.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to a wipe and powdered substrate combination, and more particularly to wipe and powdered substrate combinations used with hygiene articles.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Hygiene articles, such as incontinence devices, tampons, sanitary napkins, and diapers do not completely prevent body exudates from soiling areas of the skin. After the removal of a hygiene article, such areas may have residual menstrual, urinary, or fecal material attached to the skin or hair. It is also desirable to remove such residual exudate material from the body. Often, an individual who is removing a hygiene article is constrained to a rather limited geographical area such as a public restroom or a child's changing table. Therefore, unless the individual has some means to clean himself or herself within close proximity, they will remain soiled with the unwanted material.[0003]In addition to the cleanliness concerns associated with the use ...
