A tampon having at least one physical discontinuity is provided. The phys ical discontinuity, or physical discontinuities, are located in the compress ed absorbent member and may be made in the tampon pledget before the pledget is compressed into the absorbent member. The physical discontinuities parti ally isolate a portion, or portions, of the tampon from the rest of the tamp on. The partial isolation of a portion of the tampon reduces the amount of m enses absorbed by that portion, which could be transported to the rest of th e tampon through wicking. The concentration of menses absorption in a portio n allows that portion have a higher level of expansion than the rest of the tampon to prevent menses from leaking out of the vaginal opening.
