ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An encapsulated catamenial tampon is disclosed which can easily and comfortably be inserted into a woman's vagina. The tampon includes an absorbent having a withdrawal string attached thereto. The absorbent is retained in a dissolvable capsule having a cylindrically shaped base member and a semi-spherically shaped cap member. The base member houses at least a portion of the absorbent and contains a first and a second end. The first end is completely open while the second end has an opening formed therein through which the withdrawal string passes. The cap member slightly overlaps the first end of the base member to enclose the absorbent. Both the base and cap members have a plurality of openings formed therethrough which decrease the surface area of the capsule to allow the capsule to dissolve quickly.
