ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The specification describes an inserter for delivering soft, deformable tampons into body cavities and the combination of the inserter with a suitable tampon. The inserter is made up of a pair of telescoping elements. The outer element is in the form of a tube. The inner element may also be in the form of a tube and has a main portion slidably disposed within the outer tube and a front portion comprising a smaller diameter frontal extension axially disposed on the forward end of the main portion and having a length substantially as long as the outer element when the inner element is slidably disposed therein. In the inserter and tampon combination, the tampon is made from single or multiple sheets of resiliently deform- able material in various shapes. The resilient tampon is disposed within the outer tube to provide a forward head portion and a trailing drape-like portion with at least the trailing portion being deformed and held in releasable compres- sion between the frontal extension and the outer tube. In this arrangement, the leading end of the frontal extension bears against the inside of the head portion of the tampon and when the inner element is advanced inside the outer tube to deposit the tampon in the vagina, the head portion of the tampon is urged from the outer tube while the trailing portion is drawn from the outer tube. Upon ejection the resiliently deformable nature of material from which the tampon is made permits the tampon to expand as far as the restrictive walls of the cavity permit and thus generally conform to the irregular shape of the cavity.
