Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide intravaginal tampons for capturing and storing bodily fluid. SOLUTION: The intravaginal tampon is formed of compressed material and has an outer surface, an insertion end, a withdrawal end, and a center portion formed between the insertion and withdrawal ends. The outer surface has at least two segmented grooves formed therein, and each segmented groove is separated from and spaced at a distance from an adjacent segmented groove. Each segmented groove has at least one substantially longitudinal segment and at least one accumulator segment. The arrangement of the segments provides a pooling region to impede the body fluid flow along the outer surface of the tampon. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
