Abstract
In a menstrual tampon comprising one or more webs 1, rolled up in several layers around each other, of moisture-absorbing material, a pull string 2 is anchored and extends out of the tampon. This string is laid around the web 1 in at least two consecutive loops which, with portions 6 running back and forth approximately longitudinally to the tampon, surround and are in contact with at least two opposite side edges 7,8 of the web 1 of absorbent material, and extend out of one end of the tampon. (FIG. 2).
