Tampon applicator with improved fingergrip

摘要

A tampon applicator is provided that comprises a tubular barrel adapted to house a pledget and a telescoping plunger adapted to expel the pledget out of the barrel. A portion of the applicator has a fingergrip area with at least one multi-directional gripping structure to enhance the gripping characteristics of the applicator. The multi-directional gripping structure allows the user to securely hold the applicator during insertion of the applicator into the vagina, expulsion of the pledget from the barrel of the applicator, and removal of the applicator from the vagina.
