Well, "shaken holder" probably means a rearrangement of the letters of "holder", and then put those inside a "feminine smear". I'd guess that means "pap smear" or just "pap", but pap + holder = 9 letters, so obviously I've misconcluded somewhere along the line. But maybe I've misread the clue? "holder" in "pap" first yields 'pholderap", and the "ph" can then be condensed into an "f". Then apply the shaken bit to "folderap" and you get dropleaf -my favourite type of table!

Since no-one seems to mind clues tossed in from left field:

Anyone attempting this and need clues?
