Tampon pledget for increased bypass leakage protection

摘要

There is provided a tampon pledget that includes one or more enhanced features that result in the pledget exhibiting increased bypass leakage prevention. These enhanced features may include, but are not limited to, geometry, absorption, and any combinations thereof. There is also provided one or more methods for constructing a tampon pledget having increased bypass leakage protection.

主权项

1. A compressed tampon pledget comprising:
a bottom pad with a bottom area calculated in a single plane and a bottom fiber weight distribution; a top pad with a top area calculated in a single plane and a top fiber weight distribution; a pad lay-up ratio of said bottom area to said top area of 1:1.2; a fiber distribution ratio of said bottom fiber weight distribution to said top fiber weight distribution of 0.75:1; and an absorption potential that is higher at a bottom end of the compressed tampon pledget than at a top end.
