Natureland Disposable Plastic Vaginal Applicator: For Gel or Cream Products – Includes Dual Dosage Markings (Regular, 20, Count)

Just like the ones from the doctor!
I bought these for vaginal cream because I was tired of running out when the boxes from your doctor only have 7 in them and I still had cream left over and wanted to use the extra. I love that these are all individually packaged for hygiene purposes, and they all have measures on the tube if you want a certain amount each time. The only “downside” is the inner tube falls out when you flip it upside down to insert it (which can cause the cream to fall out too depending on how liquidy it is), but as long as you just hold onto both tubes it’s fine and their’s no issues. You also get a lot of tubes for the price so they’ll last you a while.

Does what it is supposed to
I didn’t recall if these were threaded on the end or not, and when they arrived I realized that they aren’t. So I was a bit concerned that the cream from the tube would push out instead if into the applicator, raising the plunger. When I squeeze the medication tube, it first does ooze down to cover the threads of the tube, but if you hold it firmly on the tube, it does go into the applicator with ease, raising the plunger, as designed. I like the applicator for the intended purpose, and an additional bonus is that a small pill I used to have to insert with my finger also fits into the applicator, so I can dose both at once! I bought the 60 count, and I like that it came in 3 bags of 20, so that I can safely store the additional bags until I need them without having to worry that some fall out, or that dust is accumulating inside the bag!

Worthless
These things are hard to fill. The end of the applicator is not threaded, so the applicator does NOT securely screw onto the tube of cream like the original applicator that came with the cream does..so the tube fits into the end of the applicator, you squeeze the tube to dispense the prescribed amount of cream, and the force of the cream coming out of the tube is supposed to make the inner part of the applicator slowly slide up as the applicator fills, and then you stop squeezing when the applicator shows its filled to the prescribed amount (via the printed markings on the applicator) Well…You squeeze the tube, the inner part of the applicator doesn’t budge. If you squeeze the tube harder, the pressure either causes the tube to quickly OVER FILL (wasting very expensive prescription cream) OR, if you forcibly hold the applicator in place while squeezing the tube of cream, the cream will squish out from the bottom of the applicator. The very simple process of squeezing a tube of cream and having the inner part of the applicator smoothly and slowly slide up as the applicator fills just doesnt happen. I’d rather spend 5 minutes cleaning out/sanitizing the original, re-usable applicator that came with my prescription cream instead of using the useless disposable applicators and waste my expensive prescription cream. This product is absolute garbage.

Useful
My wife rolled her eyes at me and said these are useful and told me to go away.
