Foaming porous pad for use with a motorized device
View Patent ↗A foaming porous pad suitable for coupling to a hand-held device and for application to human skin includes a porous pad substrate and a foaming composition disposed on the porous pad substrate. The porous pad substrate includes a nonwoven pile fabric having a nonwoven backing layer and a pile comprising individual fibers extending from the backing layer. The nonwoven pile fabric has fibers having a denier of less than about 9. Other aspects of the disclosure include a kit including a foaming porous pad and a motorized handheld device, methods of making the foaming porous pad, and methods of using the foaming porous pad.
1. A kit comprising
a. a motorized handheld device comprising a body and an attachment surface arranged and configured for disposition toward human skin; and
b. a foaming porous pad comprising:
i. about 50 to about 25 wt-% of a porous pad substrate comprising at least about 50% fibers having a length to diameter ratio of greater than about 300:1 formed into a nonwoven pile fabric comprising a nonwoven backing layer and a pile consisting essentially of individual fibers selected from the group consisting of polyesters, polyolefins, and combinations thereof and extending from the backing layer, wherein the nonwoven pile fabric comprises fibers having a denier ranging from about 3 to about 9 and an aspect ratio ranging from about 21 to about 120; and
ii. about 50 to about 75 wt-% of a foaming composition disposed on the porous pad substrate, wherein the foaming composition comprises at least one lathering surfactant;
wherein the foaming porous pad is arranged and configured for coupling to the attachment surface of the hand-held device with the pile of the nonwoven pile fabric disposed toward the human skin during use.
2. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the attachment surface comprises a coupler disposed in a receptacle formed in the body.
3. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the foaming porous pad comprises about 40 to about 30 wt-% of the porous pad substrate and about 60 to about 70 wt-% of the foaming composition.
4. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the nonwoven pile fabric comprises a blend of fibers, and wherein about 90 to about 50 wt-% of the fibers have a first denier of up to about 3, and about 10 to about 50 wt-% of the fibers have a second denier, greater than the first denier and up to about 6.
5. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the lathering surfactant is mild.
