Apparatus is disclosed which may be utilized to package vaginal medication and may also be utilized in the application of such medication. The apparatus includes a flexible tubular membrane with an open end and a closed end. The closed end is axially depressed into the tubular membrane and forms a cavity into which the medication is placed. During packaging, a sealing cap is placed over the cavity and encloses the cavity and the medication. To utilize the apparatus for application of medication, the tubular membrane is slipped over a hollow tubular applicator and a piston member is inserted into the hollow tubular applicator. The piston member is utilized to outwardly extend the closed end of the tubular membrane and dispense the medication. After utilization, the tubular membrane is removed from the hollow tubular applicator and may be disposed of, thus preserving the sanitary condition of the applicator.
