Ed,

<What is this "sexy" applicator? Don't think the size of the pellet has anything to do with the pain.>

Just joking with "sexy" bit! It was reported previously that alibra pellet is smaller than muse pellet. I recall that Nina told Vlad about this(?) and it was said that then people in the Vivus factory were calling Muse "big guy" and alibra "little guy"!!

...no idea why alibra pellet should be smaller, if indeed it is...

It was also reported that the alibra applicator is different in some way from the muse applicator, don't know in what way.

A smaller pellet requires smaller internal diameter to the applicator I presume?? ....does not mean a smaller external diameter. I think that Zebra once said that he thought the muse applicator might actually be made larger external diameter to minimise discomfort from the applicator.

I appreciate that the pellet dissolves rapidly and it's size is not critical factor from discomfort viewpoint

???????
