Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided a tampon pledget that includes one or more enhanced features that result in the pledget exhibiting increased bypass leakage prevention. These enhanced features may include, but are not limited to, geometry, absorption, and any combinations thereof. There is also provided one or more methods for constructing a tampon pledget having increased bypass leakage protection.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A tampon pledget, comprising: at least one bottom pad; at least one top pad; a fiber distribution ratio of said bottom fiber weight distribution to said top fiber weight distribution of between about 0.75:1 and about 1.5:1; and an average positive displacement of greater than about 0.145; and wherein prior to folding said at least one bottom pad and said at least one top pad to form a compressed tampon pledget, said at least one top pad and said at least one bottom pad are in a cross-pad configuration.
