In the fifth century A.D, the tampons were created by Egyptian women from softened papyrus. In the year 1931, the first modern disposable tampons were created by an American, Dr. Earle Haas. The tampon is inserted into a wound or body cavity to absorb blood. It is made from a bulk of rayon or cotton or a mixture of the two.
Tampons based on Dr. Haas' design were first sold in the U.S. in 1936. The London Sunday Times newspaper in 1969 named Haas one of the 1000 Makers of the Twentieth Century. After selling the rights to the tampon, he continued with his doctor's practice and various business enterprises.
