20110215008 | Toilet paper/tissue dispenser - The object of the invention is to add moisture to any bathroom tissue in dry environments as well as adding any scent to it. The invention reflects how easily tissue absorbs moisture, because of it's material, and how it dries up as well. The ambient air in a bath can be as low as 20%, making tissue 20% moisture content. This invention uses only static water under the tissue in an enclosure to raise the humidity level to 80%+. Scents are added to water and get infused in the tissue. This makes the tissue soft, strong, scented, and better. The tissue is less crumbly and can have better grip.
