Abstract

A tampon wherein the absorbent body is an aggregate of separate pieces of low modulus, resilient, absorbent foam. The aggregate is held together by an encasing overwrap which is relatively loose about the aggregate to permit some relative motion between adjacent pieces of foam. The mesh of the overwrap is fine enough to totally contain the absorbent pieces and thereby prevent surfaces of the absorbent pieces from penetrating the overwrap and forming part of the external surface of the tampon.
