Description
約1:1.2のパッドのレイアップ比と、約0.75:1の繊維の分配比とを有するタンポン用綿撒糸20が、形成されることができる。図2を参照すると、このような比を有するタンポン用綿撒糸20は、断面が円形のわずかに涙滴又は円筒形状である直線的な側壁を有する。
約1:2.25のパッドのレイアップ比と、約1.5:1の繊維の分配比とを有するタンポン用綿撒糸30が、形成されることができる。図3を参照すると、このような比を有するタンポン用綿撒糸30は、涙滴形状を有する。
約1:1.6のパッドのレイアップ比と、約1:1の繊維の分配比とを有するタンポン用綿撒糸40が、形成されることができる。図4を参照すると、このような比を有するタンポン用綿撒糸40は、涙滴形状に対して段階的に減少した複数の層状(multi-tiered)形状を有する。
本発明のタンポン用綿撒糸と比較するために使用される比較例として使用されるために、いくつかの市販のタンポン用綿撒糸が小売店から購入された。比較例4のタンポン、即ちタンポン用綿撒糸は、P&G社から入手可能なTampaxオリジナル(スーパー)タンポンである。比較例5のタンポン、即ちタンポン用綿撒糸は、P&G社から入手可能なTampax Pearl(スーパー)無香料タンポンである。比較例6は、Kimberly Clark社から入手可能なKotex Securityスーパータンポンである。
約60のタンポン用綿撒糸が、本発明に従って形成され、試験された。これらは、例1に示したものと類似している。これらタンポン用綿撒糸は、約1:1.25のパッドのレイアップ比と、約1:1の繊維の分配比とを有するように形成された。特に、底部パッド(2.25インチ×2.5インチの第1のGalaxy-basedウェブ)と上部パッド(4インチ×1.75インチの第2のGalaxy-basedウェブ)とが、これらタンポン用綿撒糸を形成するために使用された。ハロゲン水分分析器(Mettler-Toledo)により測定された上部(即ち内部)パッドの水分は、約9.78%であった。また、底部(即ち外部)パッドの水分は、11.55%であった。タンポン用綿撒糸の質量は、2.60g(平均値)±0.03g(標準偏差)であった。これらタンポン用綿撒糸は、全て、本発明に係わりここで説明されたようにして構成された。
