Personal care system and fluid supply system thereof

Abstract:

A personal care system or fluid supply system with components specifically designed and arranged to speed up the process of initially priming an applicator of the personal care system with a fluid. The personal care system may include a personal care implement having an applicator and a fluid supply system disposed within the personal care implement. The fluid supply system may include multiple reservoirs, both filled with a fluid, and one of which has an absorbent member disposed therein. A first capillary member may extend from one of the reservoirs to the applicator and a second capillary member may extend from the reservoir with the absorbent member therein to the applicator. The fluid may travel faster along the second capillary member to speed up the priming process.
