In the fifth century A.D, the tampons were created by Egyptian women from softened papyrus. In the year 1931, the first modern disposable tampons were created by an American, Dr. Earle Haas. The tampon is inserted into a wound or body cavity to absorb blood. It is made from a bulk of rayon or cotton or a mixture of the two.
Apparently ancient Egyptian women used papyrus and other such things to create early tampons, and that they would have used cloth pads of some form (and a discussion here). Apparently Hippocrates documented that Roman women used wooden sticks wrapped with lint.
