A system, method, and computer program product for self-authenticating an end-user of one of multiple service providers, each of the service providers having end-users connected to a common network. A digital repository is populated with information regarding the service providers, the end-users and service description information for the end-users. New devices are detected as they are connected to the high-speed network, and are allocated a limited amount of bandwidth. The end-user is given access to an authentication application. Based on the information entered by the end-user, the database is queried to determine a level of service purchased by the end-user from their service provider. The end-user is then allocated the appropriate level of service.

Abstract:

A tampon applicator includes a tubular barrel adapted to house a tampon therein and accommodate a slidable, tubular plunger which is adapted to push the tampon within the barrel out of the forward end of the barrel into a vagina. The barrel includes a rear portion having two diametrically opposed, substantially flattened surfaces with gripping ribs thereon and an angled transitional shoulder which has a reduced diameter relative to the front portion of the barrel. The flattened surface and the angled shoulder form a thumb and finger hold which enables a user to securely and comfortably maneuver and position the applicator and tampon therein.
