ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an improved tampon for preventing conduction of menstrual fluids from the vagina. The tampon comprises an absorbable pledget of the type well known in the art capable of absorbing menstrual discharge and a withdrawal string non-releasably attached to the pledget. The withdrawal string is a non-absorbing fiber that is non-wicking for aqueous liquids. The withdrawal string prevents the inadvertent wicking or conduction of exogenous fluids such as sea water into the vagina or of menstrual fluid from the vagina into absorbable undergarments.
