Abstract
A nasal depository for absorbing mucus and the like from a person's nose. The nasal depository has at least one absorbent member for absorbing when contacted by nasal fluids. At least one hollow member is disposed through the absorbent members such that the hollow member has a pair of open ends that are unobstructed by the absorbent member. Such unobstruction allows the user to readily breathe. A perforated body member surrounds the absorbent member. A strap interconnects a pair of absorbent members such that each absorbent member is interconnected while lodging in the nasal passageway.
