You say 'places' like you are talking about some far away land, but remember that many in rich countries are living in poverty or homeless so they can't afford tampons, pads, or cups either.
In less economically developed countries many women simply bleed on clothing or use items like old rags or newspaper, in some parts of Africa or India girls have to drop out of school once they start menstruating as it's not possible for them to attend without menstrual products. You have a lot of charities and menstrual product companies that are working on schemes to tackle that problem. There's also Menstrual Hygiene Day about raising awareness about this issue.

In developed countries, for example United Kingdom or United States of America, there are many people who can't afford menstrual products because they live in poverty or are homeless. In many cases they will have to choose between food or menstrual supplies, they will steal menstrual products, or like in less economically developed countries they will use newspaper or rags.
Some women's shelters may have menstrual products but often this will only happen if there is a drive for them (as they're not commonly donated otherwise). There is also a campaign to get menstrual products for free in public bathrooms, this is to help all women but would also be a great advantage to those who are poor or homeless as it would give them access too - it's called Free The Tampons.

What is measure of released energy of an earthquake?
This is known as seismic moment (M0 - which has the unit of dynes/cm =where 1 dyne/cm = 1x10-7 N/m) which is a measure of the total energy released during an earthquake and is derived based on the elastic moduli of the crust where the earthquake occurred, the length of the slip surface and the cross sectional area of the slip surface as follows:M0 = G x AFx DFWhere:G = Shear modulus of the rock massAF = Area of the rupture along the faultDF = average displacement on AFFor an explanation of how this value is used to determine an earthquakes magnitude, please see the related question.

How long does it take for credit card company to stop sending you statements without adding late charges if you are not paying your bill?
Even if it's a few dollars you can affor on every bill (try to pay the minimum payment) do it or they will keep coming after you for as long as it takes. If you don't make some effort to contact the Credit Card Co., and try to work out your payments you could well end up in court. When you have a Credit Card you are borrowing money and if you are a responsible individual then you'd try your hardest to pay your debt off and then cut-up your credit card(s). I learned a long time ago that if you can't afford to pay cash for something then you shouldn't get it! * In the US the debtor will continue to receive billing statements until the account is charged off. The account then will be considered in collections and the debtor will be faced with collection procedures either from a contracted collector of the original creditor or an third party collector who purchased the account. All penalties and interest fees will continue to accrue as long as the account remains unpaid in full or settled by agreement. The original creditor or a third party purchaser have the option of filing a civil suit or in some cases filing with the National Arbitration board to collect the debt.
