Answer
An o.b.® Tampon is designed to not have an applicator. However, it is not uncommon for woman to feel somewhat uncomfortable, at first, about fingertip insertion of the tampon. Using a fingertip is a natural way of placing the tampon, permitting it to be positioned where it is the most comfortable and can give the most protection. Applicators are straight and stiff, whereas the vagina is curved. The fingertip can follow natural curves of vaginal canal, allowing placement where tampon is most comfortable.
