A method of deploying a bib from a continuum of dispensable bibs suitable for protecting a torso of a wearer from spillage, the method comprising the steps of:
- tearing a continuum of bib material comprising a first surface and a second surface along a series of multiple bib separation perforations formed into the continuum of bib material in a pattern defining a shape of the bib;
- creating a head flap via tearing a series of multiple head flap perforations additionally formed into the continuum of bib material in a pattern defining a shape of the head flap;
- folding the head flap to cause a portion of the second surface of the bib material comprising the head flap to cover a corresponding area of the first surface of the bib material, said folding of the head flap creating a head space bordered by a neck collar portion of the bib material within the pattern defining the shape of the bib, the head space sizeable for circumventing a head of the wearer, and said head space bordered at least in part by the neck collar portion;
- placing the head of the wearer through the head space;
- supporting the bib against the torso of the wearer via the neck collar portion resting on a neck of the wearer;
- and
- receiving a substance on one of the first surface and the second surface of the bib material as the bib is supported against the torso of the wearer.
A continuum of dispensable bibs suitable for protecting a torso of a wearer from spillage, the continuum of dispensable bibs comprising:
- a continuum of bib material comprising a first surface and a second surface;
- separation perforations formed into the continuum of bib material in a pattern defining a shape of a bib, said perforations permitting controlled tearing of the bib material along the pattern defining the shape of the bib;
- and
- head flap perforations additionally formed into the continuum of bib material in a pattern defining a shape of a head flap and a head space within the pattern defining the shape of the bib, the head space sizeable for circumventing a head of the wearer, and said head space bordered at least in part by a neck collar portion, said neck collar portion configured to support the bib covering at least a portion of the torso of the wearer.
