There is provided a tampon pledget (2) or tampon applicator (3) that is covered by a wrapper (5) having microcapsules (10) thereon. Alternatively, the microcapsules (10) may simply be disposed on the tampon pledget (2) or tampon applicator (3). The microcapsules (10) may contain a lubricant or a fragrance or a combination of both. The microcapsules (10) may be ruptured prior to inserting the tampon pledget (2) or tampon applicator (3) and the resultant free-flowing lubricant and/or fragrance is spread on the tampon pledget (2), tampon applicator (3), or a combination thereof. The luricant increases the ease and comfort of inserting and positioning the tampon pledget (2) or tampon applicator (3). The amount of lubricant desired may be controlled by varying the pressure applied to the microcapsules (10). Thus, the number of microcapsules (10) ruptured can be controlled by varying the pressure.

L'invention concerne un tampon ou un applicateur de tampon recouvert d'une enveloppe dotée de microcapsules. Selon un mode de réalisation, lesdites microcapsules peuvent simplement être disposées sur le tampon ou sur l'applicateur de tampon. Elles peuvent contenir un lubrifiant ou une fragrance ou une combinaison des deux. Elles peuvent se rompre avant l'introduction du tampon ou de l'applicateur de tampon, le lubrifiant/la fragrance résultant s'écoulant librement étant répandu sur le tampon, l'applicateur de tampon, ou la combinaison de ceux-ci. Ledit lubrifiant augmente la facilité et le confort d'introduction et de positionnement du tampon ou de l'applicateur de tampon. La quantité de lubrifiant désirée peut être régulée par variation de la pression appliquée sur les microcapsules. En conséquence, le nombre de microcapsules rompues peut être régulé par variation de la pression appliquée.
