STRETCH-ACTIVATED ARTICLE TO DISTRIBUTE VARIOUS COMPOSITIONS OR ELEMENTS AND FUNCTIONALS, a stretch-activated disposable article, such as a handkerchief or glove, is described which includes an upper layer of material and a lower layer of material joined to the upper layer of material in a manner such that a space is defined between the layers of material. A functional element, for example, a fluidic composition, is stored in the space between the upper and lower layers of material and becomes functional through exposure through the upper layer of material when using the article. The upper layer of material includes a plurality of materially weakened positions along its surface that is configured to break or separate by stretching the upper layer of material in order to expose the functional element through the upper layer of material. |
