ABSTRACT:
A tampon applicator assembly is disclosed wherein the protective wrap which initially packages the tampon applicator provides a simplified covering for disposal of the spent applicator. The tampon applicator wrap is opened at a pre-determined location such that a discrete portion remains which is significantly longer than the applicator barrel member. Accordingly, after tampon ejection, with the plunger telescopingly located within the barrel, that unit is then inserted within the discrete wrap portion, which includes a substantial length extending beyond the reinserted applicator. That substantial length is then twisted and tucked into the opened end of the applicator to maintain closure of the wrap for applicator disposal.
