Tampon applicator providing low placement

摘要

A tampon applicator for positioning a tampon inside a vaginal cavity. The tampon applicator includes an outer member disposed co-axially with an inner member for insertion of the tampon into the vaginal cavity. The inner member is slidable within the outer member wherein at least a portion of the tampon remains in the outer member when the inner member is fully engaged with the outer member to define a remaining portion of the tampon. The remaining portion of the tampon requires a force of less than about 0.30 N to be removed from the tampon applicator. Alternatively, when the inner member is fully engaged with the outer member to define a remaining portion of the tampon, the remaining portion of the tampon requires a force of less than about 0.04 N/mm to be removed from the outer member.
