Claim:
A system for incontinence maintenance comprising: a plurality of products suitable for use in an incontinence maintenance event, said products being arranged in stacked formation in the order of anticipated use of individual ones of said products, the first product anticipated for use being uppermost in said stack; a container comprising first and second panels disposed in overlying relationship to one another, said panels being permanently sealed to one another along their respective overlying edges to define an interior volume, a top end, a bottom end, and first and second opposite sides, said container further comprising a seal extending between said first and second panels of said container and bonding said overlying panels to one another along said seal, whereby said interior volume of said container is divided into a top compartment and a bottom compartment, said stack of products being encased within said bottom compartment; a tear line defined by said portion of said first panel forming said bottom compartment, whereby rupture of said tear line defines an outboard edge of said first panel along said tear line which is adapted to be grasped by a user at a location midway along the length of said tear line and pulled apart from said underlying second panel, thereby defining an opening to said bottom compartment for access to and withdrawal of said stack of products from said bottom compartment, and for subsequent insertion of soiled products into said bottom compartment, said top compartment forming a loading surface for limiting spillage of contamination from said soiled products; and a releasable sealing component provided along said top compartment for selectively sealing said opening to said bottom compartment of said container.
