I intended to do a lawyer's wig at first, but I liked the punk wig better.
The punk subculture, which centres on punk rock music, includes a diverse array of ideologies, fashions and forms of expression, including visual art, dance, literature and film. The subculture is largely characterized by anti-establishment views and the promotion of individual freedom. Although punks are frequently categorised as having left-wing or progressive views, punk politics cover the entire political spectrum. Punk-related ideologies are mostly concerned with individual freedom and anti-establishment views.
Now that's clear, how about the tampons?
Rules in Dutch translates as 'regels'. When a woman is having her period, we say 'zij heeft haar regels' ('she is having her rules').
The use of the word 'regels' may derive from the rules associated with menstruating woman in different cultures. 'Regels' may also derive from 'regelmatig' meaning 'regularity', refering to the 'regular' 28,5 days cyclus.
In German a woman's period is called 'Regelnblutung'.
Last reference; Tampon was a mid '90's Turkish female punk rock band a.k.a. Tampax.
