Abstract

A method of making a catemenical tampon comprises the steps of compacting an absorbent core member to less than the desired final dimension in one direction and then working the core member so as to effect re-expansion of the reduced dimension to approximately the final desired dimension, such steps of compacting and working minimizing stiffness and imparting softness to the tampon. The tampon may also be compacted longitudinally to a desired length.
