The present invention relates to applicators for delivering objects into a body cavity, having a pivotal finger grip tab to improve the ability of a user to maintain a secure grip on the applicator during use. Prior to use the tab can reside in a first position that is proximal the applicator outer surface. When a user is ready to insert the applicator into a body cavity, the tab is pivoted outwardly to a second position distal the applicator outer surface. The tab in its outwardly pivoted second position provides a surface for a user's finger and/or thumb to apply a force that is parallel to the length of the applicator instead of perpendicular (normal force) to the applicator. Thus minimizing the opportunity for applicator failure and resistance to material expulsion as a result of increased friction on the material itself or an optional expulsion member. |
