Marcia Belsky: 100 Tampons TikTok Original Song & Lyrics
Marcia Belsky’s 100 Tampons song is based on the story of Astronaut Dr. Sally Ride.
In 1983, Dr. Sally was selected for NASA oral history project and was set to go on a six-day mission to space. She later revealed that her personal flight kit became the subject of discussion among male rocket scientists before the mission.
She also disclosed how the male scientists were clueless about menstruation. NASA scientists asked Dr. Sally how many tampons she would need for six days trip and proposed if 100 tampons were enough.

She told them to cut the numbers in half and said they had never thought about the kind of things a female astronaut would carry with them.
Further, the male engineers tied the tampons together by their strings in a sausage link style.
