IMPROVEMENTS IN 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.
