  • Patent number: 4788060
    Abstract: A disposable feminine hygiene kit and system that includes a douche composition for internal cleansing of the vagina, and a wipe solution for external cleansing of the vulva. The douche formulation may be a ready-to-use liquid solution, or a concentrate. It comprises inorganic salts, as well as a buffering agent for pH adjustment. The concentrate does not require a preservative. The ready-to-use liquid solution incorporates the ingredients of the concentrate, and also includes a preservative. The compositions of both the liquid and the concentrate comprise a multiple electrolyte solution, pH-adjusted and isotonic (after dilution of the concentrate), resulting in optimal vaginal compatibility. The douche composition is used in combination with a preserved anti-bacterial wipe solution for use upon the external vulva. The wiping solution is preferably incorporated into a towelette application.
