This invention relates to a tampon applicator having a first elongated hollow thermoplastic tube which is receivable of a tampon and a second elongated hollow thermoplastic tube which is capable of receiving within its interior the first hollow tube for packaging purposes and which is capable of being inserted into the interior of the first hollow tube for purposes of dispensing the tampon from the first hollow tube. This dual function is achievable by the utilization of an accordian wall portion for the second hollow tube which allows it to change from a diameter larger than the outside diameter of the first hollow tube to a diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the first hollow tube.
