insertable

Able to fit

Insertable describes something capable of being inserted—placed or fitted into something else.

The word appears in technical contexts: an insertable cardiac monitor, insertable software modules.

Sex toy marketing uses insertable to describe items designed for internal use.

The word is functional rather than elegant, chosen when insert alone won't work grammatically.
