RESILIENT TAMPON AND METHOD FOR MAKING.

摘要

A method of making a resilient tampon includes the steps of providing binder fibers having an average fiber length of at least 35 mm; combining the binder fibers to form a loose fleece; activating the binder fibers; and compressing a portion of the loose fleece into a pledget after activating the binder fibers. A resilient tampon includes 70wt% to 95 wt% absorbent fibers and 5 wt% to 30 wt% bicomponent binder fibers. The binder fibers have an average fiber length greater than 35 mm.
