The 'pon right out of the wrapper.
The plug
(cotton part) measures about 1 3/4
x 7/16" (4.5 x 1 cm). The exposed stick
is 3" long (7.6 cm), the string
about 4 1/2" (11.5 cm).

Below:
The 'pon preparing for firing!
The arrow
points to the rather complicated
string setup. The long
end goes through the loop. Compare
with a slightly
later Tampax.
