I have NEVER EVER know that stuff with string until you people mention it in
this thread. All my life, I thought this was a tampon:

Now that S.A.M. mention it, I know that the name is sanitary napkin
I have never see such things sold as well in my country (Indonesia). Since
when is that stuff available?
p.s.: the first time I heard the term 'tampon' is around 1997, that was when
Princess Diana died. Then it was all mentioned in the newspaper. There
between the lines, I read about Prince Charles betrayal, that there was a
phone call record between him and his gf (Camilla..?) where he told her, "
I
wish I were your tampon". Then I ask my friend, what is a tampon? She told
me it's the
pembalut (the Indonesian term for sanitary napkins)
