Dude. That's what incognito mode is for. Here's what I found.

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.
