Abstract
A kit for use in disposing of spent medical supplies, contraceptive supplies, or feminine hygiene supplies includes an outer pouch, a plurality of inner pouches, a storage pouch, and a plurality of cleaning wipes. The outer pouch retains the remaining components of the kit. The inner pouches are used to individually contain spent supplies. The storage pouch is designed to segregate the used inner pouches and their contents from the remaining components of the kit. The wipes are used for general clean up. The kit allows for the discrete storage and disposal of the spent supplies.
