Abstract
The present invention provides a method for making an odor adsorbent tampon or related catamenial device. The method of the present invention includes the steps of forming a plurality of fibers, preferably by extrusion, and impregnating or urging into or inserting into the interstices of the fibers with one or more odor adsorbent materials while the process of forming the fibers is being performed. Thereafter, the plurality of fibers so formed are suitably and conventionally brought together to produce the finished device. Preferably, the one or more odor adsorbent materials is in liquid form and/or is naturally sourced.
Claims13
A method of manufacturing a catamenial/tampon product comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a plurality of fibers and, during the process of forming, incorporating in the fibers one or more naturally sourced odor adsorbent materials selected from the group consisting of:
- glycerin, glycerin compound, aldehyde, natural oil, solution of soluble natural compound, natural plant and herb extract, naturally occurring deodorizing active, acid, base, oxidant, chelating agent, ester, masking agent, sensory receptor alterant, oxidizing agent, biological agent, surfactant, surface-active polymer, and any mixtures thereof;
- and
- (b) forming the plurality of fibers into the catamenial/tampon product.
A method of manufacturing a catamenial/tampon product comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a plurality of fibers from a viscose solution and, during the process of forming, incorporating in the fibers one or more odor adsorbent materials selected from the group consisting of:
