Tampax

Tampax (a portmanteau of tampon and packs) is a brand of tampons currently owned by Procter & Gamble. It was based in White Plains, New York, United States, until its sale to Procter & Gamble in 1997. It is a subsidiary of P&G's Always brand and is sold in over 100 countries.

The product was designed by Earle Haas, who filed a patent in the 1930s. The original product was designed from the start as flushable and biodegradable.
