Hygienic glove system and method of use

Abstract

A hygienic glove system features a glove and an absorbent pad. The absorbent pad begins at the palm of the hand and extends over one or more fingers. The absorbent pad features a first layer that is fluid permeable and a second layer underneath the first layer that is super absorbent. The hygienic glove system also features a storage pouch having a first pocket to store unused gloves and a second pocket to store used gloves. A method of use for the hygienic glove system includes the user inserting their hand into the glove, absorbing bodily fluids with the absorbent pad, pulling a base of the glove over the absorbent pad until the glove is folded inside out, and storing the glove in the storage pouch. The hygienic glove system facilitates relieving oneself in a sanitary manner while outdoors.
