Milex Inflatoball Pessary is a specialist latex pessary for more severe pelvic organ prolapse
The Milex Inflatoball Pessary is designed to provide relief for women suffering from 3rd and 4th degree pelvic organ prolapse. The Inflatoball is inserted, and then inflated when in place to give support to the prolapsed organs. The Milex Inflatoball is particularly useful in cases of cystocele, rectocele and/or procidentia.
Pessaries are recommended as a first-line treatment for pelvic organ prolapse, along with pelvic floor exercises. A pessary cannot cure a prolapse, however it can prevent it from getting worse and can provide relief from the every day symptoms of prolapse, such as the heavy, dragging feeling in the pelvic region.
The Inflatoball Pessary is made with 100% latex and comes complete with the pump for inflation once the pessary is in place. The Inflatoball Pessary should be removed daily for cleaning.
Please note: initial pessary fitting and sizing should be carried out by a trained healthcare professional.
If you experience no issues, then the pessary doesn’t need to be changed within the 5 years. Although, A visit to the GP every 6 months is recommended.

Advantages
An absolute life saver used it for 12 years, but am now worried about lack of availability
Comment
It's a bit unfair that it can't come on prescription. The usual pessaries inserted by Doctors are free but useless (for me anyway).

Better option than going for surgery I think.
Advantages
This is easy to use and easy to remove. Realize I have been using a pessary that was not holding everything up inside, probably too small, so I am feeling great.
Disadvantages
Struggling a bit with the tube bit not staying in place, but I think I just need to get used to it all.
Comment
In, my considerable experience of pessaries, now over 7 years, I am really pleased with this pessary. I had terrible experiences with my GP and the offer of a hard curtain ring supposedly left in for 3 months at a time, have sex with it in - I love being able to take this out and occasionally can have a pessary free day if I am not doing too much. I lead a really active life riding horses, looking after them and moving heavy bales of hay. All manageable with a pessary.
My question is who do we go to for help in fitting these pessaries? I have had to do this research all by myself. How great to be able to self care and have a life.

Stress NO MORE, indeed!!
Advantages
Very easy to use, even for a 76 year old!
Disadvantages
Latex doesn’t last very long, but that is not enough of an issue to matter.
Comment
Stress NO MORE, indeed!! Thank you!!! In the states you have to go to the Doctor every year to update your prescription to be able to buy a pessary. It also takes 6-8 weeks to deliver. Thanks to my daughter, we found your site and promptly ordered! Thank you SO MUCH!

Highly recommend
Advantages
I cannot sing the praises of the Milex Inflatoball highly enough. After having a hard plastic disc inserted privately, which was an uncomfortable process, l had it removed a month later as l could not get on with it. The Inflatoball was not offered privately (maybe because it's something you can do yourself). When l showed the product to the consultant she said she had never seen it before She also works for the NHS. After the disc removal l researched products on the internet and found the Stress- No-More website selling the Inflatoball. Its amazing and should be widely available on the NHS. It's a real shame l didn't know about it sooner. I inserted it with ease after following the instructions. No hospital appointments needed. I am at the stage that l have to have a hysterectomy, but nevertheless feel back to normal, all day, everyday using this products.
Disadvantages
The tube hangs outside ready to inflate and deflate, but l had no problem with it, just thicker than a Tampax string. I was lucky as l knew the measurement of the disc l had inserted, so l followed that when ordering the Inflatoball. It could be expensive if you don't get or know the right size first time. It is for daily use whereas most of the products offered by the NHS/Private are in place for 3 months or so. Not sure about their rates of infection or difficulty removing them after 3 months, but l have had no difficulty or infection problems using the Inflatoball.
Comment
Before use blow up the Inflatoball so you can tell how many puffs needed to inflate. I use 2 inflation puffs. It really is minimal!

Advantages
I’ve been using this product for 10 years and reviewed before but just want to reassure ladies this is an excellent product and while it may take a few purchases to get correct size once you have that sorted you are good to go for any activity and totally unaware of it throughout day . I take it out at night . I had hysterectomy for prolapse and then prolapse got worse so this has been the best thing ever and well worth the expense of getting the right one . Incidentally my gp fitted me with a large ring so I ordered a large inflataball which was too big and kept falling out . I actually required the smallest one and that’s perfect .

Overall good useful product.
Advantages
Comfortable and adjustable depending on inflation. Easier than solid ones to put in and take out.
Disadvantages
A bit fiddly to inflate and stem sometimes falls down during use if not tucked in enough.
Comment
Use it for badminton and dancing.

Helped my RECTAL prolapse
Advantages
I had an op for a 3rd degree RECTAL prolapse but the prolapse started to return after just 5 days and is now worse than before the op.
I wondered if an inflated vaginal device would press against the rectal wall, partly closing the rectum and thereby might prevent the prolapse coming down.
I tried the large inflatoball and, if I place it correctly, it prevents much of the rectal prolapse. It also aleviates the terrible back pain that comes with the prolapse, so that's a big bonus. If the shape of this device could be adjusted so that it was more like the U.S. Eclipse System, it would really help a lot of people with rectal prolapse and could possibly avoid many ops.
Disadvantages
Not the easiest to remove sometimes. I have an easier method now. I always thread a piece of thin cord, approx. 13" / 33cms in length, through the hole and tie the ends securely. The cord is cleaned and 'disinfected' along with the inflatoball after use.
Comment
I doubt that many people would think to use this for RECTAL prolapse, so I hope it will help someone else.
I was told the success rate of an op was only 50%. Mine was "textbook" and still failed, so what's the point in going through it again? I'm glad I thought 'outside the box' as it has really helped. Give it a go!
