Abstract

A method of manufacturing a catamenial/tampon device according to which the benefit of incorporating the desired odor adsorbent material in the first instance directly into the fibers as they are formed or spun results in eliminating the potential for dusting during processing of the device and the need for binders and/or thickening agents normally used.
