A sanitary device for the absorption of light anal and vaginal/urethral discharges and a method for its use and disposal. The device includes a towelette and an attached string. The towelette is a thin, soft, dry, flexible sheet of absorbent paper material permeable to gas, absorbent of small amounts of moisture, and folded lengthwise into a pair of wings. The string is also soft and flexible and has ends attached to the towelette inside the wings and providing a relatively short outwardly extending loop. For anal use, the device is inserted between the buttocks and pinched and held by the sphincter muscle at the exit of the anal canal. For vaginal/urethral use, the device is inserted and fictionally held between the labial folds at the exit of the vagina. In either use, the loop of the string extends outwardly from the body and is accessible for convenient grasp by the wearer. The method involves grasping the towelette in one hand of the user and, with certain of the user's fingers inside the wings, pushing the towelette into the above-described anal or vaginal/urethral position, while minimizing direct hand-contact with these body regions. When neatly tucked into position, the device covers the anal or vaginal/urethral orifice with the wings flat against each other and in a position to intercept and filter light bodily discharges. The thin device is thus undetectable to most users and, when spent, is easily removed by grasping and pulling on the string and disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.
