An apparatus for insertion of an intravaginal article into a mammalian female comprises a sleeve, a tube movably received within the sleeve, and a plunger adapted to release an intravaginal article from the tube. An anterior portion of the sleeve is adapted to be inserted within a segment of the reproductive tract of the female that is adjacent to the vulva and an anterior portion of the tube is adapted to be inserted within the tract to a point deeper than the segment, such that contaminants in the segment are not carried to the deeper point by the tube. A method for inserting an intravaginal article is also described.
