LOW ABSORBENCY TAMPON PLEDGET AND METHOD OF TESTING

摘要

ABSTRACT An improved light duty tampon is defined by a quantity of an absorbent material arranged in substantially cylindrical form and having a lower dry bulk density, lower expansion values, and lower fluid absorption rates, as compared to similar absorbent capacity tampon pledgets. A method of testing a light duty tampon includes determining absorbent capacity, density, radial expansion width, and expansion rate of the tampon.
