Abstract

A tampon comprising a tampon body having a head end and a tail end, and a sheath attached to said tail end, said sheath being of a sufficient length to reach back over said head to cover and hygienically close said tampon body. The act of reaching back over inverts the sheath, thereby presenting a clean outer covering.
