The plug (2) is substantially cylindrical so that is fits comfortably in a vaginal cavity. The pad (3) remains outside the vaginal cavity, but has an absorbent layer on an inward side (10) proximal to the plug (2) and a liquid impermeable layer on an outward side (11). In use, a wearer can insert a finger into the sheath (4) from the outward side (11) of the pad (3) assist with insertion of the plug (2) into the vaginal cavity. A string (12) is provided that extends inside the sheath (4) from the outward end of the plug (2) to aid removal of the product (1). A line of weakness (7) extends along the major axis of the pad (3), about which the pad (3) is disposed to fold in use. This encourages the pad (3) to fold around the plug (2) to accommodate the plug (2) during removal of the product (1), thus improving hygiene.
L~invention porte sur un article d~hygiène (1) féminine destiné à l~absorption du flux menstruel et d~autres liquides, comportant un tampon (2) et une serviette (3) reliés par une gaine (4). Le tampon (2), sensiblement cylindrique, s~adapte confortablement à la cavité vaginale. La serviette (3), qui reste hors de la cavité vaginale, possède une couche absorbante intérieure (10) côté tampon (2) et une couche imperméable extérieure (11). Pour faciliter l~introduction du tampon (2) dans la cavité vaginale, l~utilisatrice peut introduire un doigt dans la gaine (4) depuis le côté extérieur (11) de la serviette (3). Un cordon (12) s~étendant dans la gaine (4) depuis l~extrémité extérieure du tampon (2) aide à extraire l~article (1). Une ligne de rupture (7) s~étend le long de l~axe principal de la serviette (3), ligne autour de laquelle la serviette (3) est prête à se rabattre lors de son utilisation. Ceci permet à la serviette (3) de se rabattre sur le tampon (2) recouvrant ainsi ce dernier (2) lorsque l~on retire l~article d~hygiène (1). L~hygiène s~en trouve ainsi améliorée.
