A microneedle container, comprising:
- a container body including a housing configured to house a microneedle and a cover configured to cover the microneedle,
- wherein the microneedle includes a base and a projection formed on a first surface of the base such that the base has a second surface supported by a supporting portion of the housing in the microneedle container and that the base has an abutted portion, the cover has an abutment portion positioned to face the abutted portion of the microneedle, and a facing portion positioned to face the projection of the microneedle, the cover is configured such that a distance between the abutment portion and the facing portion is larger than a distance between the abutted portion of the base and a distal end of the projection in an extending direction in which the projection projects from the first surface of the base and that a distance between the abutment portion of the cover and the supporting portion of the housing in the microneedle container is smaller than a sum of a distance between the abutted portion of the base and the second surface of the base and a distance between the abutted portion of the base and the distal end of the projection of the microneedle in the extending direction, the cover has a tubular body having an open end portion and a closed end portion closed with a cover bottom in a sheet form, the cover includes a cover protruding member which extends from the cover bottom toward the open end portion of the tubular body such that the abutment portion is formed on a distal end of the cover protruding member, the housing has a tubular body having an open end portion and a closed end portion closed with a housing bottom in a sheet form, the housing includes a housing protruding member which extends from the housing bottom toward the open end portion of the housing, the supporting portion is formed on a distal end of the housing protruding member, the cover and the housing satisfy (L1+L2 )<(M1+M2), where L1 is a cover length from an inner surface of the cover bottom to the open end portion of the cover, M1 is a cover protruding member length from the cover bottom to the distal end of the cover protruding member, L2 is a housing length from an inner surface of the housing bottom to the open end portion of the housing, and M2 is a housing protruding member length from the housing bottom to the distal end of the housing protruding member, each of the cover and the housing includes an opening and a contact portion that surrounds the opening, at least one of the cover protruding member and the housing protruding member comprises an elastic member configured to change a length in the extending direction, and the elastic member has an elastic portion having elasticity higher than elasticity of a portion of the elastic member other than the elastic portion.
