1. A finger wipe comprising a hollow member having an open end and a closed end located opposite the open end, the hollow member having a shape configured for the insertion of no more than two fingers, the hollow member further comprising:
a liquid impermeable layer positioned to prevent liquids from contacting a finger contained in the hollow member;
a cover layer including at least one liquid permeable portion, wherein the cover layer comprises a material selected from the group consisting of spunbonded webs, meltblown webs, spunbonded/meltblown/spunbonded webs, spunbonded/meltblown webs, coform webs, and bonded carded webs;
a reservoir positioned in between the liquid impermeable layer and the cover layer, the reservoir being configured to be ruptured by a user; and
a liquid composition contained in the reservoir, wherein, when the reservoir is ruptured by a user, the liquid composition is released from the reservoir and migrates through the liquid permeable portion of the cover layer.
