Composition for thin walled molded parts

A tampon assembly, comprising:

• a tampon applicator defining a straight lengthwise axis, the tampon applicator comprising a polymer having about 95 to about 99.8% of an organic polymer and about 0.2% to about 5% of a carrier material, the carrier material having a letdown ratio of between about 2% and about 6%, the tampon applicator comprising:
• an insertion tip region, the insertion tip region defining a forward-most portion of an applicator barrel, the insertion tip region having a tip thickness;
• a barrel region adjacent the insertion tip region, the barrel region having a barrel thickness;
• a grip region adjacent the barrel region, the grip region defining the aft-most portion of the applicator barrel and having a recessed region that has an exterior grip diameter less than an exterior barrel diameter of the barrel region, the grip region having a grip thickness;
• a plunger that is coaxial with said applicator barrel, the plunger telescopically engaging the applicator barrel such that the plunger is at least partially interior to the applicator barrel;
• and
• a pledget disposed within the applicator barrel;
• wherein the insertion tip region of the applicator has one or more portions that are translucent and the tip thickness is less than the barrel thickness and less than the grip thickness;
• wherein the barrel region is has one or more portions that are opaque;
• and
• wherein the grip region is opaque.
