Here are some tips on helping with removal.
First off, it is normal for Uresta to migrate further into the vaginal canal throughout the course of the day. These easy steps will help you locate the handle and easily remove your Uresta.
- Take a deep breath and relax! Relaxed pelvic muscles will bring Uresta closer to the opening making it easier to grasp.
- The handle may be tricky to grasp at first, but bearing down (as if having a bowel movement) will help relax the pelvic floor muscles and bring Uresta closer to the opening of the vagina.
- Uresta creates a bit of natural suction in the vagina once in place. It is helpful to twist the handle or move it side-to-side to “break the seal” before pulling the Uresta down and out of the vagina.
- If choosing to use our optional Removal String, the string can help guide you to the handle before following the tips above.
If you are having a harder time reaching the handle despite the tips above, it could be a sign that you would benefit from a slightly larger size. The larger size will help keep Uresta positioned properly mid-vagina, maximizing support as well as making it easier to remove.
When you are trying the slightly larger size, it is normal to experience a bit of pressure upon initial insertion. Once the bell shape passes the pubic bone, the pressure should subside as Uresta settles in mid-vagina.
