| abstract |
The present invention is a method for making an odor adsorbent tampon or related catamenial device. The method includes the steps of forming a plurality of fibers (26), preferably by extrusion, and impregnating or urging into or inserting into the interstices of the fibers (26) with one or more odor adsorbent materials while th eprocess of forming the fibers (26) is being performed. Thereafter, the plurality of fibers (26) so formed are suitably and conventionally brought together to produce the finished device. Preferably, the one or more odor adsorbent materials is in liquid form and/or is naturally sourced. |
