Abstract

A wearable finger-moistening device to help open plastic produce bags in the supermarket. At least one opening in a waterproof front panel or a sponge expansion barrier exposes a wettable antimicrobial sponge. The sponge can retain moisture for 4-8 hours. The device is used by touching one's fingers to the moistened sponge, and then using one's moistened fingers to easily open a plastic produce bag. A clasp allows the user to attach the device using only one hand onto a belt loop, a zipper pull, or a purse strap, for example. The at least one opening in the front panel or in a sponge expansion barrier can be shaped to enhance the appearance of the device.
