A menstrual disc applicator that is configured to hold a menstrual device in a folded configuration to allow for insertion of the disc into the fornix. Many applicators are configured to not only insert the disc but to provide rotation such that it sits properly in the vaginal fornix. Some applicators may have spring like mechanisms to help move the disc into the proper position while others may have contoured elements that better conform to the anatomy to allow for proper insertion and placement of the disc.

A vaginal discharge collection device is formed of an elastomeric rim and a flexible film reservoir. The rim may have a generally rectangular cross section and forms a collection space for collecting vaginal discharge. The reservoir may be collapsible so as to be substantially enclosed within the rim when the device is being used. Advantageously, the rim and the reservoir are arranged such that compressing diametrically opposed portions of the rim toward each other causes a leading portion of the rim to dip downwardly to facilitate insertion of the device. The device is ergonomically constructed so as to be convenient to use, comfortable to wear internally, and reliable. A system for reliably, comfortably and conveniently introducing agents, including drugs and other substances, into the vaginal canal is also disclosed.
