Tampax is one of the world's most recognizable brands in the feminine hygiene sector. The brand was originally created by Dr. Earle Haas in the United States during the early 1930s, who patented the first modern applicator tampon. This invention was later sold to Gertrude Tendrich, who founded the Tampax Sales Corporation in 1934 to bring the product to the mass market.

Today, Tampax is a flagship brand under the ownership of Procter & Gamble (P&G), a global consumer goods powerhouse based in Cincinnati, Ohio. While the brand originated in the USA, its manufacturing operations are worldwide, with significant production facilities in the United States and various European locations to serve global markets. The 'Non Plastic' range highlights the brand's pivot toward more sustainable materials while maintaining the classic applicator design that revolutionized the industry nearly a century ago.
