The cover web (2) is secured to the pledget by one end thereof extending into and being embedded in at least an outer part of the pledget spiral winding. The outer end of the cover web (2) extends beyond the outer free end of the absorbent ribbon (1) and is bonded to an underlying intermediate section of the cover web. A withdrawal string is looped around both the absorbent ribbon and the cover web before widing.
