Abstract
It is intended to provide a tampon wherein a string-shaped member is bonded to a cylindrical absorbent in the state of not being exposed on the absorbent surface. A tampon comprising an absorbent (), which is obtained by molding a sheet member into a cylindrical shape, and a string-shaped member () which is bonded to the absorbent () and extends from one end of the absorbent (). The string-shaped member () has a first string part which is bonded along the first direction of one face of the sheet member constituting the absorbent () and a second string part which extends from the sheet member. A first folding part is formed in one side of the second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction of the first string member, while a second folding part is formed in the other side of the second direction. Owing to this constitution, the absorbent () is deformed by bending respectively from the first folding part and the second folding part and thus molded into a cylindrical shape from which the first string part is not exposed.
