  • Publication number: 20070293836
    Abstract: An improved absorbent tampon is disclosed which comprises a high surface energy outer surface that is more desirable to menses than the surface of vaginal tissue during menstruation. Thus, the surface energy of the outer surface of the tampon is greater than the surface energy of the vaginal cavity surface during menstruation. This makes the outer surface of the tampon of the present invention more desirable in a sense to the menses than the vaginal cavity surface, therefore reducing the occurrence of bypass leakage. This is accomplished without relying on body pressure and capillary absorption both of which have limited effectiveness and can cause negative comfort issues with the wearer.
