Abstract
Abstract A hygienic product for cleaning parts of the body comprising a moistened napkin and a quantity of powder capable of absorbing moisture. The napkin is contained in a first air-tight envelope-like compartment of a packet, and the powder is contained in a second air-tight compartment of the packet. The two compartments may have a common wall between them, in which case each compartment has an outer wall opposite the common wall, whereby all three walls are tearable along a "tear-open" line simultaneously to open both compartments at the same time. The powder may be loose or, alternatively, may be carried by a soft pad or applicator contained within the second compartment.
