A tampon applicator having an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve (152), which is displaceable therein, is provided with an axial longitudinal slit (155) and encloses a tampon (153). A retention element (160) is connected to outer sleeve (151) and projects through longitudinal slit (155) of inner sleeve (152), and lies against rear end of tampon (153). When inner sleeve (152) is with-drawn out of outer sleeve (151), tampon (153) is held in place by retention element (160) and transferred into outer sleeve (151). Retention element (160) is provided with one part of a locking mechanism (203, 204), the outer part of which is formed by one of said sleeves (151,152). Aforesaid locking parts interact in such a way that retention element (160) is locked in its engaged position bent into inner sleeve (152). Transfer of tampon (153) out of inner sleeve (152) into outer sleeve (151) is thereby ensured when tampon applicator is utilized, and a simple, economic mass production of the tampon applicator is ensured.
