A sanitary tampon formed in the shape of a bullet by subjecting a tampon body, which is formed of a highly water-absorbent material to a belt-like structure, to a fluff-preventing surface treatment, fixing a puller string to the tampon body, subjecting the resultant tampon body to a mild, primary compressing operation to obtain a ring-shaped product having a plurality of folds at least on the inner circumferential surface thereof, and compressing the ring-shaped tampon again from the outer circumferential surface thereof so as to produce a bullet-like tampon body. This tampon is adapted to expand radially when it absorbs the menstrual blood, and thereby abuts on the vaginal wall surface, so that the menstrual blood flowing along the vaginal wall surface can be surely absorbed. When the puller string is drawn, the ring-shaped tampon body is unfolded, and comes out in a belt-shaped state. Therefore, this tampon can be taken out easily. |
