Abstract

A tampon inserter having one end expandable when subjected to pressure on its interior surface and an externally mounted, moveable member which in a first position constrains such expansion and in a second position allows the one end of the inserter to expand or move outwardly. The expansion relieves the force between the interior wall of the inserter and exterior surface of the tampon, thus lowering the frictional force between the inserter wall and the tampon. [US3753437A]
