ABSTRACT:
A hygienic tampon and a tampon applicator. The tampon comprises a rope-shaped absorbent material coiled in parallel whirls and compressed into a bullet form and a withdrawal string attached to an end of the absorbent material. Because of the coiled structure, the tampon expands to all directions upon absorption of menstrual fluid to fully fill in the body cavity thereby preventing leakage. The expanded tampon can easily be withdrawn as the coiled tampon body is uncoiled when the withdrawl string is pulled. The tampon applicator comprises an outer tube for accomodation of a tampon therein and an inner tube telescopically engageable with the outer tube and operable to push the tampon out of the forward end of the outer tube and it is characterized in that a cap of water soluble material is detachably mounted on the forward end of the outer tube to cover the forward end and the head of the tampon. The water soluble cap assures smooth insertion of the tampon without pain.
