Hygienic tampon, optionally a digital or applicator tampon, as well as apparatus and method for manufacturing thereof

Hygienic tampon (1) consisting of absorbent fibrous material on the basis of natural and/or artificial fibers of each desired structure, which is formed into at least approximately cylindrical blank (10), which is symmetric with regard to a longitudinal axis (100) defining a direction of inserting the tampon (1) into each desired cavity of a human body. Such tampon (1) comprises four pairs of grooves (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18), which are equidistantly arranged in the circumferential direction of the tampon (1). Two pairs of grooves (11, 13, 15, 17) having a pre-determined width (B1) and depth (T1) are pressed in two planes being perpendicular to each other and coincide with the longitudinal axis (100). The other pairs of grooves (12, 14, 16, 18) having a pre-determined width (B2) and depth (T2) are pressed in two planes, which are perpendicular to each other and coincide with the longitudinal axis (100) under 45° with respect to previously mentioned planes.
