Title: Menstrual device for an animal
Claims: I claim: 1. A tampon for use with a lower animal having an angular vaginal canal with a cul-de-sac comprising an enclosure having a menstral fluid absorbent material on a forward end and a means to permit easy removal including a lubricant means on the rear end having a means for releasing the lubricant after insertion to provide a lubricated return path for the tampon. 2. The tampon of claim 1 wherein said lubricant releasing means comprises a string also attached to said tampon. 3. The tampon of claim 1 wherein said absorbent material further comprises a deodorant. 4. The tampon of claim 1 wherein said lubricant material further comprises a spermicide. 5. The tampon of claim 1 wherein said lubricant is a carbowax. 6. The method of utilizing a tampon for the capture of menstral fluids of a lower animal having a non-linear vaginal canal with a cul-de-sac comprising the steps of providing a tampon with an absorbent body enclosure and holding means on one end and a lubrication dispensing means on the other end, placing the tampon in the vagina vestibule with the absorbent body facing forwardly and inwardly and the dispensing means facing rearwardly, inserting the tampon in the vaginal canal upwardly a short distance, then continuing the insertion horizontally the required distance, leaving the tampon in place a suitable time to permit release of the lubricant from the dispensing means and to capture of menstral fluids, and then removing the tampon rearwardly as the dispensing means provides lubrication for the outward passage through the angular vaginal canal.
