If you're one of the millions of women that suffer with stress incontinence, try Contrelle Activgard!
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is when urine leaks out with sudden pressure on the bladder and urethra, causing the sphincter muscles to open briefly. With mild SUI, pressure may be from sudden forceful activities, like exercise, sneezing, laughing, or coughing. However, if your SUI is more severe, you may also leak with less forceful activities like standing up, walking, or even simply bending over. Urinary "accidents" like this can range from a few drops of urine to enough to soak through your clothes. Those of us that suffer with SUI often find it interferes with daily and social activities and it can even affect family and sexual relationships. Some people even begin to feel isolated and hopeless because of it.
An easy-to-use, comfortable, discreet alternative to incontinence pads - most women can't feel Contrelle after two or three uses and the use of a water-based lubricant helps with insertion. This pessary is made from soft, moulded foam which, when inserted, gently supports the bladder. Contrelle Activgard gives back the bladder control you once had, allowing you to confidently lead a full and active life! Indeed, it is an innovative way to alleviate the symptoms of stress incontinence. When the pelvic floor has weakened, there is a slight fall to the bladder. The angle of the neck of the bladder alters meaning that the pelvic floor muscles are no longer as efficient when put under sudden stress like coughing, sneezing, laughing or even exercise.
Contrelle Activgard has been designed so that when placed into the vagina it lifts the bladder to correct the angle of the neck of the bladder and prevent or reduce leaks. And the great thing about Contrelle Activgard is you can still urinate normally without having to remove the Contrelle Activgard.
It's as easy to use as a tampon and cannot be felt or seen. Some women may experience a little discomfort at first but this is not unusual or likely to be permanent - Contrelle Activgard is safe and comfortable to use and is designed not to absorb the natural moisture of the vaginal mucosa which can cause dryness, imbalance or infections.
This handy device can be used during exercise and is for singular use only. It is available in three sizes; we recommend you purchase the Sizing Kit, which contains all three sizes, to establish which one is most comfortable and works best for you. Before going on to purchase a pack, which contains either 5 or 30 insertables.
