Flushable Hygienic Wipe System
Abstract
A flushable hygienic wipe system is used to provide users with an indirect means to hold soft flushable wipes that improve the personal hygiene of a user's rectal and genital areas after using the bathroom. The system additionally provides users with a convenient disposal method by allowing users to safely discard the apparatus into a toilet bowl after use. The present invention comprises a most cleansing pad, a flushable applicator, and a dry cleansing pad. The flushable applicator additionally comprises a handle, a moist cleansing pad mount, and a dry cleansing pad mount. The handle additionally comprises a first section and a second section. The flushable applicator and the moist cleansing pad mount are able to retain their shape while the moist cleansing pad is attached through the use of a water insoluble polymer coating that inhibit moisture from degrading the hydro soluble cellulose mixture of the components.
