Single-Use-Body Washing System

Abstract

A body washing system provides an integrated single-use package co-locating a moist towelette and a dry towelette; the latter sized and design to permit drying of an individual after applying the moist towelette to their body in a washing process. The compact size and availability of the dried towelette substantially increases at the availability of bathing systems to individuals to whom conventional bathing or showering is inaccessible.

1 . A human body washing system comprising:
 a first moisture impervious package openable by tearing a packaging material of the first package, and containing a moist towelette sealed therein;   a second moisture impervious package attached to the first moisture impervious package, the second moisture impervious package openable by tearing the packaging material of the second package and containing a dry towelette sealed therein; and   wherein the moist and dry towelettes each have an area greater than 300 square centimeters and are folded to reduce their area by at least a factor of substantially six times.   
     
     
         2 . The human body washing system of  claim 1  wherein the moist towelette and dry towelette have substantially identical dimensions. 
     
     
         3 . The human body washing system of  claim 1  wherein the first and second moisture impervious packages are joined by a common seam in packaging material extending between the first and second packages. 
     
     
         4 . The human body washing system of  claim 1  wherein the packaging material is a heat-sealable polymer and foil laminate. 
     
     
         5 . The human body washing system of  claim 1  wherein at least one of the first and second moisture impervious packages includes a third moisture impervious package sealed therein. 
     
     
         6 . The human body washing system of  claim 5  wherein the third moisture impervious package is a heat sealable polymer and foil laminate. 
     
     
         7 . The human body washing system of  claim 5  wherein the third moisture impervious package includes a material selected from the group consisting of a gel, a cream, and a lozenge. 
     
     
         8 . The human body washing system of  claim 1  wherein at least one of the first and second moisture impervious packages includes a tab providing an aperture for supporting the first and second moisture impervious package on a peg. 
     
     
         9 . The human body washing system of  claim 8  wherein the aperture is sized to receive a coat hanger of the type found in a stall of a restroom. 
     
     
         10 . The human body washing system of  claim 1  wherein the dry towelette is treated with a drying material selected from the group consisting of a desiccant and a hydrophilic material. 
     
     
         11 . A human body washing system comprising:
 a first moisture impervious package openable by tearing a packaging material of the first package and containing a moist towelette sealed therein;   a second moisture impervious package attached to the first moister impervious package, the second moisture impervious package openable by tearing the packaging material of the second package and containing a dry towelette sealed therein; and   a third moisture impervious package sealed within one of the first and second moisture impervious packages.   
     
     
         12 . The human body washing system of  claim 1  wherein the third moisture impervious package is a heat sealable polymer and foil laminate. 
     
     
         13 . The human body washing system of  claim 1  wherein the third moisture impervious package includes a material selected from the group consisting of a gel, a cream and a lozenge. 
     
     
         14 . The human body washing system of  claim 11  wherein the packaging material is a heat-sealable polymer and foil laminate. 
     
     
         16 . A human body washing system comprising:
 a first moisture impervious package operable by tearing a packaging material of the first package, the first moisture impervious package containing a towelette sealed therein;   a second moisture impervious package attached to the first moisture impervious package, the second moisture impervious package openable by tearing the packaging material of the second package and containing sunscreen therein.   
     
     
         17 . The human body washing system of  claim 16  wherein the towelette is substantially dry. 
     
     
         18 . The human body washing system of  claim 16  wherein the towelette is moistened. 
     
     
         19 . The human body washing system of  claim 16  wherein the first and second moisture impervious packages are joined by a common seam in packaging material extending between the first and second packages. 
     
     
         20 . The human body washing system of  claim 16  wherein the packaging material is a heat-sealable polymer and foil laminate.
