- (c) a thick absorbent liner positioned within said distal end portion of said sheath in direct contact with the entire inner surface thereof,
- (d) the distal end of said sheath having a plurality of spaced aeration holes disposed on its surface and extending therethrough to permit both uniform ventilation and also air drying of the absorbent liner once it becomes wet,
- (e) said proximal end portion including a first portion forming an uninterrupted continuation of a partial circumferential section of said distal end portion, and a fee flap portion forming an uninterrupted circumferential extension of said first potion,
- (f) the free flap portion being of such a length so as to adjustably overlap upon said first portion to both close the sheath and to vary the diameter of said open proximal end portion,
