The purpose of the thesis was to verify the accuracy of the methods of measuring the diameter (thickness) of digital hygienic tampons, which are currently used in the production of the company, and the adequacy and accuracy of the newly introduced method. The theory section includes a presentation of the hygienic tampons used for the hygienic care of women. Their structure and division (digital and applicator hygienic tampons) and the process of their products are presented. The experimental part presents the methods of measuring the thickness of hygienic tampons, which have so far been primarily in the company (measuring the diameter or thickness with a slide caliper), and a new method of measuring with a digital scale and the use of measuring plates, and operate on the subject with a constant force of 1.8 N. The methods of measuring the diameter (thickness) were compared so that the diameter was measured with different “Normal” sizes, hygienic tampons manufactured on five different machines in four different ways. The influence of the human factor on measurements (comparison of measurements of different meters) was also determined. Based on the research, it was found that the method of measuring with a digital watch and a measuring plate of 55 millimeters is the most appropriate and reliable for applicator-free hygienic tampons, that measurements with a slide caliper require more time to perform the measurement and that measuring diameter with a slide caliper for the entire length of the tampon, suitable for determining the diameter of the tampons, as this method also meets the requirements of quality control.
