ABSTRACT:
The invention is related to a tampon applicator (10) made of plastic, especially for feminine hygiene, consisting of an approximately cylindrical outer sleeve (12) which is intended for receiving a tampon (14) and in the rear end of which there is inserted in an axially non-displaceable manner hollow grip piece (16), in which a slide (18) is arranged so as to be axially movable. The outer face of the slide (18) is connected in the vicinity of its fromt end, to the inner wall of the grip piece (16) by means of at least one predetermined breaking point (24). Thus, the tampon applicator can be produced from just two injection-molded parts allowing reduced expenditure on machinery and assembly. The slide is held captively in the grip piece until the tampon applicator is put to use.
