TAMPON HAVING LIQUID-RESISTANT BASE

摘要

A tampon has an overwrap material disposed on an absorbent material. The overwrap material has a length greater than the length of the absorbent material and a width generally corresponding to the width of the absorbent material. The overwrap material also has a liquid-permeable zone and a liquid-resistant zone, and the liquid-resistant zone of the overwrap material forms a fold over an edge of the absorbent material disposed at the withdrawal end of the tampon.
