Wipe and powdered substrate combination

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.

         8 . The packet of  claim 1  wherein the powdered substrate has a powder impermeable layer. 
     
     
         9 . The packet of  claim 1  wherein the powder of the powdered substrate has a particle size in the longest dimension of from about one micron to about one-hundred microns. 
     
     
         10 . A packet combination comprising:
 a.) a first packet comprising a first packaging material, the first packaging material defining an outer surface of the first packet and an internal space, wherein the internal space is a first discrete compartment;   b.) a second packet comprising a second packaging material, the second packaging material defining an outer surface of the second packet and an internal space, wherein the internal space is a second discrete compartment;   c.) wherein at least one wipe is disposed within the first discrete compartment;   d.) wherein at least one powdered substrate is disposed within the second discrete compartment; and   e.) wherein the first packet and the second packet are joined.   
     
     
         11 . The packet combination of  claim 10  wherein a unit dose of about 0.05 grams to about 10 grams of powder is on and/or in the powdered substrate. 
     
     
         12 . The packet combination of  claim 10  wherein a unit dose of about 0.01 grams to about 8 grams of powder is applied to skin from the powdered substrate. 
     
     
         13 . The packet combination of  claim 10  wherein the first packaging material and the second packaging material is at least one of paper, metal foil, or polymer film. 
     
     
         14 . The packet combination of  claim 10  wherein the first packet and the second packet are hermetically sealed. 
     
     
         15 . The packet combination of  claim 10  wherein the wipe is a wet wipe. 
     
     
         16 . The packet combination of  claim 10  wherein the powdered substrate is at least one of a fibrous sheet, film, foam, sponge, netting, puff, brush, or bag. 
     
     
         17 . The packet combination of  claim 10  wherein the powdered substrate has a powder impermeable layer. 
     
     
         18 . The packet combination of  claim 10  wherein the powdered substrate and wipe form a two-sided mitt with a central compartment. 
     
     
         19 . The packet combination of  claim 10  wherein the powder of the powdered substrate has a particle size in the longest dimension of from about one micron to about one-hundred microns. 
     
     
         20 . The packet combination of  claim 10  including at least one additional packet.
