A butt crack swab with a pressed molded fiber substrate, a conformal flushable wipe and a binder material. The pressed molded fiber substrate is shaped to fit within the intergluteal cleft of a person and in close proximity to the cluneal cleft. The conformal flushable wipe is fused on top of the molded fiber substrate via the binder material. A preferred embodiment includes the pressed molded fiber substrate made of recyclable material.

An enzyme-degradable system for undergarments and feminine hygiene articles works to decompose the undergarments and feminine hygiene articles upon being triggered by bodily fluids, such as urine. The undergarment or feminine hygiene article comprises an absorbent core, an inner sheet of biodegradable material, and an outer sheet of biodegradable material. The core includes at least one of the following: a cellulose material, a wood pulp, a biodegradable and bioactive thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources (polylactic acid plasticPLA), and a superabsorbent polymer (SAP). The inner and outer sheets comprise a plant based cellulosic nonwoven material. The cellulase enzyme decomposes the absorbent core, the inner sheet, and the outer sheet upon contact with a bodily fluid. The cellulase enzyme may include DIS-1018 Cellulose-AN, a pH buffer, and additives. Fasteners made from a resilient, biodegradable material help secure the undergarments and feminine hygiene articles to the body.

Disclosed is biodegradable underwear having side fastening and unfastening means, wherein the biodegradable underwear is possibly coupled with a biodegradable sanitary napkin, a sensor or both. Disclosed also is a biodegradable sanitary napkin comprising a sensor. Further disclosed is biodegradable underwear comprising a belt and a biodegradable garment.
