Who invented the tampon

My search history embarrasses me
In 1931, Dr. Earle Haas developed and patented the first modern-day applicator tampon. Yet it was a woman, Gertrude Tendrich, who bought the patent from Haas and began producing cardboard applicator tampons. Tendrich sewed each tampon from her home until she expanded her business into the now-famous brand Tampax.

Your mom was Gertrude?

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays Imagine something lovingly made at home ending up like that
What else, what else did you search? 👀

@LordShadowfire Gertrude was this homeboy's mom.

I don't know but they string me along
@Lilnonames I think they were originally invented as bullet hole plugs for battlefield medics to use during war.
