ABSTRACT:
A tampon-applicator assembly of reduced length is provided comprising an outer tube, an inner tube nested therein and a tampon enclosed within said inner tube. A gripping portion affixed to the distal end of said inner tube is provided for reciprocating said inner tube almost completely out of the distal end of said outer tube while a restraining element is provided for restraining the tampon from being reciprocated with said inner tube. A deflecting portion is also provided at the distal end of the outer tube for deflecting at least a portion of the walls of the proximal end of the inner tube toward the center of the distal end of the tampon, when said inner tube is reciprocated. In operation, the inner tube is reciprocated out of the distal end of the outer tube, the tampon is restrained and hence transferred to the outer tube and the proximal walls of the inner tube are deflected toward the distal end of the tampon. The inner tube may now be reciprocated back toward the proximal end and the deflected walls will bear against and expel the tampon.
