The tampon applicator (2) consists of a barrel (3) for receiving a tampon (5) and a plunger (4) for ejecting the tampon (5) from the barrel (3). The barrel (3) has an insert ion end (7) and a plunger end (11) and in the area of the plunger end a guide section for the plunger (4). The plunger (4) has a first enlarged end (12) for contact with the tampon (5) and a second enlarged end (13) for contact with a finger, the internal diameter of the guide section of the barrel (3) being smaller than the external diameter of the first and second ends (12, 13) of the plunger (4). To allow the assembly of the plunger (4), the guide section is formed by a number of radially resilient, elastic fins (14) that are distributed on the inner circumference of the barrel (3). |
