Abstract
An improved device for containing and inserting tampons, suppositories and other objects includes the suppository or object, a transporter comprising a sheath or a combination of straps which surrounds the suppository or object and is open at one end, a long hollow cylinder, a short hollow cylinder attached to said transporter and slidably mounted on the outside of the long cylinder. The elements are arranged such that the tampon or other object may be inserted into an opening without frictional movement between the opening and either the long hollow cylinder or the sheath or the straps. The device is significantly more compact than prior art applicator devices and provides for smoothness and ease of insertion.
