The disclosure relates to a self-adhesive sanitary product and a preparation method thereof. The product is fingerstall-like or sheet-like, and has a first face on a surface side and a second face on the opposite side of the first face. On the first face, the product has a micro-nano array structure which can achieve reversible wet adhesion and which is configured to be adhered to a vaginal orifice tissue or a urethral orifice tissue. The self-adhesive sanitary product has air permeability and liquid impermeability. When the self-adhesive sanitary product is adhered to the vaginal orifice tissue or the urethral orifice tissue, the self-adhesive sanitary product completely blocks the vaginal orifice or the urethral orifice to prevent contents of the vagina or the urethra from flowing out. The self-adhesive sanitary product according to the present disclosure has the advantages of safety, comfort, privacy, miniature, environmental protection, affordability and the like.

The present disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for making tampons including primary and secondary absorbent members. During assembly, primary absorbent members, a continuous length of secondary absorbent members, and a continuous cord are advanced in a machine direction. Leading edges of the primary absorbent members are separated from each other in the machine direction by a pitch distance. Discrete secondary absorbent members are cut from the continuous length of secondary absorbent members. Leading edges of the discrete secondary absorbent members are also separated from each other in the machine direction by the pitch distance. The continuous cord is positioned on the secondary absorbent members. And a secondary absorbent member is positioned in contact with a primary absorbent member. A thread is combined with the continuous cord, the secondary absorbent member, and the primary absorbent member.

A method for winding preforms for the manufacture of tampons feeds a material tape. Strips in the form of tapes are separated from this material tape and pushed into a continuously rotating winding drum by at least one drive roller in such a way that the strip is positioned between a winding fork and a guide bar such that when the winding fork moves around the guide bar, the latter pushes a section of the strip into a fork gap of the winding fork and thus enables entrainment. Also, a corresponding device carries out the method.

A tampon including a pledget, a wicking member disposed in direct contact with the pledget, and a withdrawal cord is disclosed. The wicking member is non-coaxially arranged with respect to the withdrawal cord.
