Abstract: The present invention provides disposable cloths that are designed to reduce itching discomfort when wiped across the vulvar tissue. These disposable cloths are wetted with a composition that includes at least one anesthetic, protectant, buffer, and surfactant. The composition is substantially clear and preferably does not bring about a cooling or stinging sensation when applied to the vulvar tissue. Furthermore, the composition has a pH adapted to vulvar use.

Abstract: A kit for colonic cleansing includes a phosphate salt laxative, a flavorant, and an oral rehydration mixture. The flavorant includes aspartame and a citrate, and the oral rehydration mixture includes sodium and a glucose containing saccharide. The kit may be used for a colonic cleansing procedure by combining the phosphate salt laxative and the flavorant to provide a flavored laxative liquid, orally administering to a subject the flavored laxative liquid, and orally administering to the subject an oral rehydration liquid.

Abstract: A method of colonic cleansing that includes administering orally a first dose and a second dose of a liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition. The second dose includes an amount of the liquid osmotic colonic evacuant composition that is 55% to 95% of the amount of the first dose.

Abstract: Isethionate salts have been discovered to provide protection for the skin against damage from contact with soap or other surfactants. A mild to the skin cleaning composition is provided comprising fatty acid soap in amounts greater than 25% and an isethionate salt such as sodium isethionate, the ratio of soap to isethionate ranging from 1:2 to abut 200:1. Sodium C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 acyl isethionate may be incorporated as a further component into the cleaning composition, although in an amount not to exceed that of the soap.
