## Abstract

A sanitary napkin device includes a sanitary napkin having a curved, trapezio-pyramidal shape closely complementary to the female anatomy and a towelette hermetically sealed in an elongate sheath releasably attached to an impermeable member of the sanitary napkin by an adhesive strip extending longitudinally of the sanitary napkin. The towelette contains an aseptic solution which helps clean the female genital area and leaves a coating for preventing the proliferation of undesirable organisms.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A packaging system comprising, in combination:
an article of manufacture having an area of adhesive defined on a surface thereof for mounting the article of manufacture in opposed, facing relation to a portion of the user's skin;
a hermetic sheath releasably adhered to said area of adhesive;
a member made of hydrophilic materials sealed in said hermetic sheath; and
an aseptic solution contained in the hydrophilic member.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The packaging system of claim 1, wherein said hermetic sheath includes means for opening said hermetic sheath to provide access to said hydrophilic member.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The packaging system of claim 1, wherein said hermetic sheath comprises two sheets of impermeable material sealed to one another in an area extending all around the periphery of the sheets.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The packaging system of claim 2, wherein said hermetic sheath comprises two sheets of impermeable material sealed to one another all around the periphery of the sheets, and said means for opening said sheath comprises a flap extending from each said sheet beyond the area of sealing, whereby tile flaps can be grasped and pulled apart to open said sheath.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The packaging system of claim 1, wherein said hermetic sheath has an outer layer including means for enhancing the release of said hermetic sheath from said adhesive.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The packaging system of claim 5, wherein said release enhancing means comprises a silicone material.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The packaging system of claim 1, wherein said aseptic topical solution comprises propylene glycol.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The packaging system of claim 7, wherein said aseptic topical solution comprises a 30% solution of propylene glycol in purified water.
