A system and method of dispensing volatile material near the edge of a garment, such as a hat or shirt. A dispensing element is provided that contains volatile material and slowly releases the volatile material into a surrounding environment. The dispensing element is thin and unobtrusive. The dispensing element is affixed to the edge of a garment, preferably along a hemline or collar. These are the areas on a person wear there is typically exposed skin. The dispensing element dispenses the volatile material into the environment surrounding the edge of the garment. This protects areas of exposed skin without having to treat the skin or garments directly. Furthermore, the dispensing element itself appears to be part of the structure of the garment and therefore is not unsightly.
