A FIBROUS PAD AND A DISPENSING PACKAGE THEREFOR

摘要

A fibrous pads package comprises a lightweight dispensing package having a dispensing opening and a plurality of discrete fibrous pads sequentially disposed in the dispensing package in an abutting relationship with each other. Each of the plurality of fibrous pads comprise a cleansing portion and a gripping portion of a predetermined size and shape. Each of the pads may have a transitional portion between the cleansing portion and the gripping portion. The cleansing portion has a cleansing portion thickness (Tc) and a cleansing portion flexural rigidity (Rc); and the gripping portion has a gripping portion thickness (Tg) and a gripping portion flexural rigidity (Rg). The cleansing portion thickness (Tc) is at least about 10 % greater than the gripping portion thickness (Tg), and the cleansing portion flexural rigidity (Rc) is at least about 100 % less than the gripping portion flexural rigidity (Rg). The gripping portion has a distinct gripping edge. The gripping edges of the plurality of fibrous pads are separable from one another such that the gripping edges may be spaced apart for dispensing. Optionally, the plurality of pads may be compressed within the dispensing package.
