Abstract: A dispensable, disposable reversible forearm protector is made up from continuous webs of composite material. Each of two laminated webs, comprised of a layer of soft, absorbent paper toweling or the like and a moisture impermeable layer of thermoplastic or similar material, is arranged face-to-face with the other and joined by heat sealing or other means along generally transverse strip-like bonding areas of the web to form rectangular or trapezoidal segments of the web. Lines of weakness running along the strip-like bonding areas allow successive segments to be detached from the web. Each segment forms a flat, tubular element, which is expandable to circular form so as to receive the hand and forearm of a user. The device may be easily turned inside-out, so that the respective layers of absorbent material and moisture impermeable material may be placed on the inside or the outside as desired.

Lines of weakness running along the strip-like bonding areas allow successive segments to be detached from the web. Each segment forms a flat, tubular element, which is expandable to circular form so as to receive the hand and forearm of a user. Preferably, the bonding areas are angled so that the individual segments are of trapezoidal shape, providing a tapered tubular configuration for better conformance with the contours of the forearm.
