Abstract

A packaged elongate intravaginal device having a longitudinal axis and comprising: a. an elongate intravaginal device having a tapered end positioned at the front of the elongate intravaginal device and an oppositely disposed substantially flat end positioned at the rear of the elongate intravaginal device at a distance along the longitudinal axis, wherein the elongate intravaginal device has a diameter d and a maximum length L extending from said flat end to said tapered end along the longitudinal axis; and b. an overwrap substantially enclosing the elongate intravaginal device and having a longitudinal overlap seam disposed generally parallel to the longitudinal axis and extending along a length of said elongate intravaginal device, wherein: i. the seam includes one ply of overwrap material disposed at a first margin of an overwrap blank superposed on a second ply of overwrap material disposed at a second margin of the overwrap blank, opposite the first margin; and ii. the overwrap has a substantially continuous line of weakness that extends along a circumference of the elongate intravaginal device and across the seam and includes weakness elements superposed in each ply of the seam; wherein, the line of weakness originates from two symmetrically disposed ends , typically being oppositely disposed on either side of the longitudinal axis and generally connected to each other by a common transverse axis that runs perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and in that the distance between the substantially flat end positioned at the rear of the elongate intravaginal device and the furthest position P on the line of weakness along the longitudinal axis is greater than the diameter d of the elongate intravaginal device and less than 0.5L, so that said overwrap may be single-handedly opened to expose the rear of the elongate intravaginal device.
