A tampon insertion device for inserting a tampon from a tampon applicator into a vaginal canal. The tampon insertion device having: a casing having a distal end, a proximal end, and an interior; an actuator located in the interior of the casing, the actuator adapted for movement within the interior of the casing; and a handle having a passageway extending through a portion thereof, wherein the passageway is sized and configured to receive the casing therethrough, with a portion of the casing positioned within the passageway such that movement of the handle with respect to the casing causes a corresponding movement of the actuator within the casing. A method of inserting a tampon is also provided.

A tampon insertion device for inserting a tampon from a tampon applicator into a vaginal canal. The devices includes a hollow casing having an open distal end, a proximal end, a top wall extending between the proximal and distal ends, an open bottom opposing the top wall, and a clamp portion located at the distal end of the casing. The device further includes a plunger actuator located in the interior of the casing for linear movement therein, and a handle slidably positioned external to the casing and connected to the actuator such that linear sliding movement of the handle with respect to the casing causes a corresponding linear movement of the actuator within the casing. A method of inserting a tampon is also provided.
