A tampon having at least one physical discontinuity is provided. The physical discontinuity, or physical discontinuities, are located in the compressed absorbent member and may be made in the tampon pledget before the pledget is compressed into the absorbent member. The physical discontinuities partially isolate a portion, or portions, of the tampon from the rest of the tampon. The partial isolation of a portion of the tampon reduces the amount of menses absorbed by that portion, which could be transported to the rest of the tampon through wicking. The concentration of menses absorption in a portion allows that portion have a higher level of expansion than the rest of the tampon to prevent menses from leaking out of the vaginal opening.
L'invention porte sur un tampon présentant au moins une discontinuité physique. La discontinuité physique -ou les discontinuités physiques- est située dans l'élément absorbant compressé, et peut être formée dans la compresse formant le tampon avant que ladite compresse ne soit comprimée dans l'élément absorbant. Les discontinuités physiques permettent d'isoler partiellement une partie -ou des parties- du tampon par rapport au reste du tampon. L'isolation partielle d'une partie du tampon permet de diminuer la quantité de sang menstruel absorbée par ladite partie, et d'acheminer le sang menstruel par effet de mèche vers le reste du tampon. La concentration de l'absorption du sang menstruel dans une partie donnée permet de doter cette partie d'un niveau d'expansion supérieur à celui des autres parties du tampon, et ainsi de prévenir toute fuite éventuelle du sang menstruel hors du vagin.
