Contam Normal Vaginal Pessary Starter Set

Try Contam’s easy and discreet stress incontinence management for yourself!

Incontinence can really make life difficult – having to constantly think about whether you’ll wet yourself creates a huge amount of worry and embarrassment that can stop you from living life to the fullest. The treatment options available for incontinence don’t help with this, as wearing pads and diapers can make you feel really self-conscious. Pessaries are an effective way of treating both incontinence and prolapse, but they can be difficult to insert and use. Contam have come up with a much easier solution by combining the simple effectiveness of a stress incontinence pessary with the familiarity of tampons.

 Contam Normal is a bullet-shaped pessary for stress incontinence. It sits in the vagina just like a tampon and its specially designed shape raises the vaginal wall, shutting the urethra enough to prevent involuntary loss of urine. You will still be able to urinate normally but can go about your day without worrying about leaks, all completely discreetly; no more dressing to conceal bulky pads! The Contam Normal also activates your pelvic floor muscles, subtly strengthening them throughout the day to help further reduce your symptoms. This starter pack contains one of each of the most popular sizes – mini, regular and extra. Try them all to find your perfect fit!

How to use Contam pessaries

• Wash your hands thoroughly and remove the pessary from its bag
• Soak the pessary in warm water for about 1 minute, then gently squeeze. It will become soft and elastic.
• Contam pessaries are inserted in the same way as menstrual tampons, so find a comfortable position on the toilet or with a leg raised

For incontinence: insert the pessary deep into your vagina, then pull it back slightly so that it’s within reach of your fingers
For prolapse: insert the pessary as deeply as possible into your vagina to support your uterus

• If you find insertion uncomfortable or difficult, try using a vaginal moisturiser such as Gynomunal or Regelle
• Make sure that the removal thread is always outside of your vagina, as with a standard tampon
• To remove, gently pull on the removal thread. The pessary can either be washed and re-used or disposed of in the bin

Suitable for multiple uses

Contam pessaries can be used for up to a week by washing them after each removal. To clean your pessary, either boil it for 3-10 minutes or place it into the washing machine at 60 degrees. Then either leave it to dry naturally or store it in a bowl of water ready for the next insertion.
