Definitions
- the outer member 110 and, in particular, the vaginal insertion end portion 116 has a major axis 104 and a minor axis 106.
- the major axis 104 and the minor axis 106 are nearly equal.
- the cross-section of the vaginal insertion end portion 116 of the outer member 110 is almost circular.
- the major axis 104 is defined by the longest diameter of the cross-section and the minor axis 106 is defined by the shortest diameter of the cross-section.
- the cross section of the vaginal insertion end portion 116 of the outer member 110 is substantially elliptical.
- the inner member 150 is preferably about 50 mm to about 100 mm in length, more preferably about 65 to 85 mm, and most preferably about 75 mm.
- the orientation indicators 132 may alternately be placed on other areas of the outer member 110, as well as on the inner member 140.
- the orientation indicators 132 may also be significantly larger than those shown.
- the orientation indicators 132 may be formed of other structures or by indicia such as marks or the like.
- the applicator is oriented based upon the orientation indicators.
- the applicator is first inserted into the vagina, and then oriented by rotation based upon the orientation indicators.
- the applicator may be oriented before insertion based upon the orientation indicators, so that the applicator is correctly oriented when inserted. The insert is then discharged into the vagina in its correct orientation.
