silicone, which is especially developed for medical use. If you should, despite
this, notice a reaction, stop the use of the pessary and discuss the situation with
your physician. The pessaries are flexible and can thus be folded and squeezed,
making insertion and removal especially easy. The pessary may be used by
one patient only.
You should insert the Cube Pessary into the vagina in the mornings and remove
it in the evenings in order for the sensitive vaginal tissue to be able to recover
overnight. In certain cases the pessary may remain inserted during the night or
be replaced by a smaller cube at night. Instead of changing the cube themselves,
many older patients leave this to their physician. Removal and reinsertion is
necessary every 4 to 8 weeks. Please follow your doctor’s instructions for this.
Wash your hands prior to inserting the pessary. To ease insertion it is recommended
that a lubricant, such as Ladysoft, be used. If needed, the edges of the cube may
be coated with a cream or gel containing oestrogen.
Now insert the pessary into the vagina like a tampon with the string hanging down.
It may be helpful to place one leg e.g. on the edge of your bed. Some women find
it easier to insert the cube in a crouching or lying position. You could also lean
against a wall with your legs slightly spread and then insert the pessary. Try out
which method is best for you.
Push the cube as far into the vagina as possible or into the position shown to you
by your physician. The cube is placed correctly if you cannot feel any pressure.
