Abstract

Tampons or catamenial pads are treated with glyceryl triacetate (triacetin). Excessive alkalinity causes it to release acetic acid which consequently restores the correct acidic state of the secretions. It may be applied by dipping the absorbent material in the liquid triacetin either alone or diluted with ethyl alcohol or ether. Either the absorbent wad or the permeable wrapper, or both, may be so treated. Specification 779,228 is referred to.
