Abstract
A flushable sanitary wipe mitt includes an open end, a closed end, opposing first and second sides, and a peripheral edge connecting the first and second sides. Each of the first and second sides further include a tab projecting from the open end and a pair of perforation lines extending from the tab toward the closed end. The tab and perforation lines function to allow the user to peel back a generally V-shaped portion of one side to facilitate easy removal and disposal of the mitt from the user's hand. The toilet paper wipe mitt provides young children with an easy to use, disposable, sanitary toilet training tool that assists children in learning to properly and thoroughly clean themselves without soiling their hand after using the toilet.
