Products comprising an oxygen-generating additive for reducing the amount
of skin irritation and inflamation and odor are disclosed. Specifically, products
such as training pants and diapers are disclosed which contain a carbohydrate-hydrogen
peroxide crystalline powder which, when wetted, produces a stream of oxygen which
can be used by various bacteria on and near the wearer's skin during metabolism
resulting in a significant decrease in the amount of volatile organic compounds
produced by the bacteria during metabolism.
