Abstract: A disposable applicator for introducing medicine into a body cavity is disclosed including a barrel and a plunger slidably positioned within the barrel. The barrel and plunger are preferably formed of a plurality of spirally wound paper layers. The plunger includes first and second opposing ends. The first end of the plunger is completely closed and serves as the working surface of the plunger. The second end of the plunger is substantially closed by inwardly crimped portions to prevent the accidental or inadvertent filling of the hollow plunger with a gel-like medicine rather than the barrel. A predetermined number of applicators, such as seven, are preferably packaged within a tubular container.
