An insulating cup sleeve adapted for use with a cup for hot or cold food or beverages, the cup sleeve consisting essentially of two or more serially connected generally rectangular packets each containing one or more multi-purpose wipes, wherein the shorter ends of each generally rectangular packet are secured together at a juncture to form a generally cylindrical sleeve, the inner circumference of the sleeve being approximately the exterior circumference near the top of the cup with which it is adapted to be used, and wherein the vertical dimension (height) of the sleeve is about 2 to 3 inches, whereby a user who opens one of the generally rectangular packet may remove a wet wipe and use it to clean oneself before consuming the contents of the cup, while keeping the contents of any other generally rectangular packet fresh for subsequent use.

An insulating telescopic cup sleeve adapted for use with a cup for hot or cold food or beverages, the telescopic cup sleeve comprising two nested cup sleeves each consisting essentially of a generally rectangular packet, wherein the shorter ends of each generally rectangular packet are secured to each other at a juncture to form a generally cylindrical sleeve, the inner circumference of the outer cup sleeve being approximately the exterior circumference near the top of the cup with which it is adapted to be used, the outer circumference of the inner cup sleeve being slightly less than the inner circumference of the outer cup sleeve, wherein the vertical dimension (height) of the each cup sleeve is about 1 to 3 inches, and wherein the nested cup sleeves are affixed to a cup for hot or cold food or beverages, wherein the outer cup sleeve may be telescoped up from the inner cup sleeve onto the cup until the outer cup sleeve embraces the cup, thereby forming the telescoped cup sleeve, and wherein the generally rectangular packet may consist of one multi-purpose wipe packet or multiple serially-connected multi-purpose wipe packets, each containing one or more multi-purpose wipes.

A wrapped insulating cup sleeve adapted for use with a cup for hot or cold food or beverages, the cup sleeve formed from one generally rectangular packet, wherein the length of the packet is greater than the exterior circumference near the top of the cup with which it is adapted to be used, wherein the vertical dimension, or height, of the sleeve is about 2 to 3 inches, wherein the packet has a strip of adhesive or tape having a protective means affixed to the inner surface, wherein removal of the protective means allows the user to wrap the generally rectangular packet around a cup and the adhesive binds the generally rectangular packet both to the cup and to itself forming the wrapped insulating cup sleeve, and wherein said generally rectangular packet consists of a single packet, or two or more serially-attached packets, each containing one or more multi-purpose wipes.
