Abstract
The present invention provides a wet-wipe comprising a non-woven composite elastic material comprising a non-woven elastic layer; and a non-woven gatherable layer. The gatherable layer is bonded to the elastic layer at at least two points; and is gathered between the bonded points. These wet-wipes have a softer more cloth like feel.
Claims36
A wet-wipe comprising a non-woven composite elastic material comprising:
- at least one non-woven elastic layer;
- at least one non-woven gatherable layer;
