  • Publication number: 20230301842
    Abstract: Bi-directonally positionable tampon configured to be disposed in a vaginal opening adjacent to a cervical os for absorbing and collecting vaginal discharge. The tampon includes an elastomeric ring to support an absorbent pad for collecting and absorbing bodily fluids. To support the absorbent pad, the elastomeric ring has a first circular-shaped edge and a second circular-shaped edge that surrounds the central aperture. A covering comprising a first pervious layer and a second pervious layer disposed adjacent to the first pervious layer is attached to the elastomeric ring and disposed at least partially in the central aperture of the ring. An absorbent pad is disposed in a cavity formed between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer of the covering. When the elastomeric ring is disposed in a vaginal opening, bodily fluid can pass through either the first and/or second pervious layers to reach the absorbent pad.
