Abstract
A tampon applicator assembly has a barrel with a fingergrip. The fingergrip has one or more flared portions and/or one or more rib-like or ring-like gripping structures. A tampon applicator fingergrip includes one or more flared portions having a flare angle between about 139° and about 156° and a curve represented by an equation range of y=16.127x−1.5061x+0.0568x+0.0001 to y=6.9136x−0.5598x+0.0168x+0.0003, where y is an incremental increase in a height of the curve at a distance along a length of the curve.
