There are lots of alternative menstrual products out there for women. Organic pads and tampons, reusable pads, Diva Cups, Keepers, etc. Non organic tampons (so your big brand Tampax, Always, etc) are made of rayon (derived from wood/pulp) and then bleached to look white. This bleaching process produces dioxins which are carcinogenic (cancer causing). The synthetic fibers in these tampons can also remain in a women's uterus even once the tampon has been removed. Kind of unsettling, right?
If you haven't already, check out some of these friendly alternatives,

tampon crafts!
Tampon Ghosts?
Or maybe a Pan flute (my personal favourite)! It actually works, too!
I thought this website was too funny not to share.
