Abstract: |
A nasal drip absorbing device for use in cold weather includes an absorbent pad with a removable connection member at its underside, cooperative with a matching attachment member permanently secured to an article of clothing, so that the pad may be readily attached to and detached from the article. The article of clothing is an outer garment worn in cold weather, such as a glove or a coat sleeve, or it may be an elastic band which may be worn over the sleeve or the glove. The absorbent pad may be of washable fabric or of a disposable material such as layered paper.
