Benefits of technology

"The patent text describes two arrays of packages that contain different types of products. The first array contains absorbent articles and wipes individually wrapped in a packet, while the second array contains wipes and absorbent articles of equal numbers. The third array contains only wipes. These arrays provide a convenient way to organize and display the products in a retail setting. The technical effect of this patent is to provide a more efficient and organized way to display and sell absorbent articles and wipes in a retail setting."

Problems solved by technology

Absorbent articles, such as incontinence devices, tampons, feminine 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 the area of skin within close proximity, the area will remain soiled with the unwanted material.

Abstract

An array of packages is provided wherein each package in the area contains a wipe. While all the packages in the array contain wipes, the wipes are packaged differently according to the desired use. Wipes may be individually wrapped or they may be provided in a package, which contains multiple unwrapped wipes. The wipes may also be individually wrapped and joined to an absorbent article such as a feminine sanitary napkin.

It is desirable to remove such residual exudate material from the body. Often, an individual who is removing an absorbent 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 the area of skin within close proximity, the area will remain soiled with the unwanted material.[0003]Wipes have been used to clean the body after removal of absorbent articles. The user of an absorbent article will use a wipe to clean t...
