Hygiene article

Hygiene articles, such as a sanitary napkin, a tampon or an incontinence pad, are formed from a textile fabric having a multiplicity of fibres. Microcapsules having reversible heat storage properties are applied in at least a portion of the fibres or via a coating with a binder atop at least a portion of the fibres or atop the surfaces of the fabric. The microcapsules include materials in which a phase transition from solid to liquid, and vice versa, takes place in a temperature range from 15 to 40° C.
