ABSTRACT:
A tampon assembly for use with and in body openings, said tampon having a close helically-wound absorbent member with the portions substantially parallel and contiguous to provide an outer support surface for a permeable cover that is pleated. The pleated cover has the folds overlaid so that in an inserting condition the pleats are disposed to retain their overlaid position during insertion. An inserting stick or rod is conventionally used for insertion. A withdrawal string is attached to the absorbent member at that end that faces the body opening. The cover at its withdrawal end captures the withdrawal string so that at the time of withdrawal the string is grasped and the cover and spiral wound absorbent member is manipulated from the opening causing at least a partial collapse of the absorbent member into a smaller diameter and with the string also withdrawing the pleated cover with the folds in said cover being unfolded to bring the cover into an unfolded condition and removal of the tampon assembly from the body opening is easily made with a reduction in diameter of the tampon.
