A reusable tampon includes an interior cavity which can be filled with absorbent material. The absorbent material can be removed and new absorbent material inserted in its place through an opening in an upper portion of the tampon. The tampon has a body which is hollow and formed of flexible, human tissue-friendly material. The lower part of the body is closed and has a semi-circular shape. Inflow apertures in the body of the tampon are inclined inwardly and toward the semi-circular lower portion of the body, allowing menstrual blood to pass into the interior cavity. Axially extending inflow grooves may also be provided. The tampon may have an elliptical cross-section, and a plurality of small balls of highly aborbent material may be disposed in the interior cavity.
