A personal hygiene assembly including a personal hygiene article such as a tampon and a towelette. The tampon is individually packaged in a wrapper and the towelette is also individually packaged in a wrapper. The assembly attaches the towelette package to the tampon package for convenient co-location of the articles. The towelette package can be attached to the outside surface of the tampon package either after sealing of the tampon package or during the sealing of the tampon package. As both the tampon package and the towelette package have a generally linear axial orientation, the articles can be axially aligned for attachment and convenient storage.
