An applicator for a tampon comprises an outer cylinder (2) containing an absorber (4) therein and provided with a petal-like components (8) for pushing out the absorber (4) on one side thereof and with a grip cylinder (7) on the other side thereof, and an inner tube (3) which is inserted into the grip cylinder (7) and can push out the absorber (4) to the outside from the petal-like components (8) by moving into the outer cylinder (2). A plurality of rows of annular protrusions (11, 12, 13, 14) are formed in the whole area of the grip cylinder (7) in the circumferential direction, such that the height from the outer circumferential surface of the grip cylinder (7) decreases gradually toward the side of the inner tube (3) being inserted into the grip cylinder (7).衛生棉條用導管係具備有:在內部收容有吸收體(4),在其中一側供前述吸收體(4)推出之推出用開口(8),在另一側設有把持筒部(7)之外筒(2);和插入於前述把持筒部(7)內,藉由朝外筒(2)內之移動,可將前述吸收體(4)從推出用開口(8)朝外方推出之內筒(3)。前述把持筒部(7)的周方向的全區域,形成有複數列的環狀凸部(11、12、13、14),這些的環狀凸部(11、12、13、14)係形成為朝前述內筒(3)對把持筒部(7)插入之插入側,從把持筒(7)部的外周面算起之高度逐漸變低。1...衛生棉條用導管2...外筒3...內筒4...吸收體5...取出繩6...吸收體收容筒部7...把持筒部8...花瓣體
