Tampax & Go Tampons

Tampax is one of the world's most recognizable brands of feminine hygiene products, specifically tampons with applicators. The brand was founded in the United States in the 1930s by Dr. Earle Haas, who invented the first modern tampon and applicator system. The trademark and patent were later acquired by Gertrude Tendrich, who founded the Tampax Sales Corporation in 1934.

Over the decades, Tampax has expanded globally, becoming a household name in menstrual health. In 1997, the brand was acquired by Procter & Gamble (P&G), a multinational consumer goods corporation. P&G has integrated Tampax into its global health and beauty portfolio, managing its distribution through various regional subsidiaries. Manufacturing for Tampax products occurs in several countries, including the United States, Hungary, and other European locations, depending on the specific market and product line. The ownership remains firmly with P&G, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio.
