Flushable body waste collection pouches, pouch-in pouch appliances using the same, and methods pertaining thereto

摘要

A flushable biodegradable pouch having water-dispersible fibers along at least a portion of the outer surface of the pouch's cover layer provided with a water-soluble hydrophilic coating. The pouch's cover layer is water-disintegratable, and the water-soluble hydrophilic coating is a lubricating agent capable of becoming slippery when exposed to water and, upon subsequent drying, again becoming water-soluble upon re-exposure to water. As such, the hydrophilic coating serves as a rewettable, redesolving lubricating agent.
