Multilayer disposable pads (100, 200, 230, 410, 526, 532, 538, 546, 558, 570, 588, 596, 640, 660, 680, 710, 770, 780, 790, 800, 810, 820, 830) for use as wipes or applicators in various applications, including the cosmetic and personal care fields and the medical field. The pads include an absorbent base pad (102, 446) and a flexible handle (114, 202, 232, 412, 572, 642, 662, 682, 712, 812, 822, 832) attached either to an intermediate barrier layer (108) or to the base pad (102). To form the handle (114), handle forming material (148) is mechanically folded, employing a pleating/folding machine (260), prior to being adhered to the barrier layer (108) or to the base pad (102). In one embodiment, the handle (114) includes a graspable portion (116) made of two facing segments (118, 120) which may be joined along a distal folded edge (140), and two handle attached portions (122, 124) respectively joined to the facing segments (118, 120) along fold lines (126, 128). |
