  • 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 composition is used in combination with a preserved anti-bacterial wipe solution for use upon the external vulva.
