Explanation:
Maybe I'm the wrong gender to be answering this, note that I am putting quite a low confidence level - as naturally - I've never had the need for such a product :-)

I believe this is what they are getting at:
"Soft Tampons

Also called "sponge tampons", "comfort tampons", "action tampons", "sex tampons", "gynaecological tampons" and "stringless tampons". A disposable, soft foam sponge designed to be ultra-comfortable to wear and, being worn high in the vagina to close off the cervix, to be undetectable during sexual intercourse. Also aimed at comfort in sport, swimming, sauna and daily use."

Great link! All you could ever want to know about tampons! :-)

They even sell them on Amazon:
"Product Features. Non irritant soft foam sponge tampon - no strings or cords. Wear for up to 8 hours. Easy to insert with a secure fit and maximum protection."

Disclaimer: Product is available from other retailers! :-)

**This answer also presumes the typo - "ספנוגפאום" should possibly be ספונגפאום**
