An improved knot (210) for attachment of withdrawal cords (14, 42) to tampons (50) is provided. The knot (210) comprises at least two closed loops (212, 214) around a portion of a length of absorbent material (12, 40). The standing parts (216, 218) of the cord cross at least twice, to form a crossed portion (220) at the base of the loops (212, 214); a loop portion (222) overlies the crossed portion (220) when the knot (210) is in place around the absorbent material (12, 40), applying pressure to the crossed portion when the knot (210) is tightened. The invention also features a process for forming the knot (210).
