Abstract
A catamenial tampon comprising an elongated core of conventional highly absorbent fibrous material enclosed along its sides and posterior ends by a sheath of non-absorbent, resilient and thus compressible foam material whereby the storage capacity of the absorbent core is unaffected by compressive forces due to muscular activity or withdrawal of the tampon, such compression being accommodated fully by said non-absorbent outer sheath.
