I get the one where there are individual applicators for each use. So 6 in a box. You could actually squeeze just a little bit out of the applicator and spread it around the thip and further to make it slide right in. I tell the oncologist that the worst of anastrazole is the vajayjay - swollen, inflamed, sore, painful. But this Replens has worked great for me over the last two years! Hope you can make it work for you.
