Contrelle Activgard Sizing Kit

Contrelle is a bladder support which is easy to insert and can stop bladder leaks immediately. Contrelle is available in 3 sizes- the Sizing Kit contains one of each helping you find the best fit.

Feature

Millions of women suffer from bladder leakage caused by stress urinary incontinence. Some only leak when they exercise whilst others suffer every time they cough, laugh or sneeze. Many women think their only non-invasive option is to wear bulky pads, constantly worrying about the pad being visible or having an odour.

Contrelle Activgard is a revolutionary product, which can stop or reduce bladder leaks immediately. Made from a super soft biocompatible foam, it is inserted into the vagina much like a tampon, but it works very differently. Once sitting comfortably in the vagina Contrelle Activgard gently supports the bladder neck and urethra, stopping bladder movement which can happen due to weakness in the pelvic floor. This helps prevent bladder leakage immediately, rather than absorbing urine like traditional pads and liners.

Supported by 7 clinical trails which show 68% of women became completely dry using Contrelle Activgard and over 95% reported Contrelle Activgard either stopped or significantly reduced their bladder leakage.

Contrelle Activgard is disposable (single use) discreet and comfortable to use. It can be worn for up to 16 hours a day or just during key activities. There is no need to remove it when using the toilet.

For optimum comfort Contrelle Activgard comes in three sizes. The sizing kit contains one of each size. Find the right fit and results can be immediate on insertion. It is easy to find the best size, in the privacy of your own home.

Once the right size is established, all sizes come in a 5-pack or 30-pack.

Contrelle Activgard quite simply allows women to get their life back, by enabling them to exercise, socialise and live life without the constant worry of leaking

Additionally, there is long term data to show Contrelle not only helps stop bladder leakage immediately, but it can also improve the condition in the long term.

Used by Scandinavian women for over 10 years with approaching 7 million devices used.

Warnings

Each Contrelle Activgard can be used for up to 16 hours a day or just when running, swimming, taking exercise or other sporting activities. Each Contrelle Activgard can only be used once. It is recommended to change Contrelle Activgard when convenient after swimming.

The Contrelle Activgard should be changed every 4 to 6 hours during menstruation. Do not use Contrelle Activgard at the same time as a tampon or instead of a tampon.

Always use the applicator to insert Contrelle Activgard. Do not use anything other than the applicator to insert the Contrelle Activgard.

For new users or women with some vaginal dryness we recommend using a water-based lubrication gel as this can make insertion and removal easier.

Tips and Advice

1. Use a water-based lubricant, for the first few uses at least, to ease insertion and removal of the device.

2. Always place the string on the applicator first

3. There is a knack for sliding the foam device onto the top of the applicator - a slide-and-nudge technique. Don't try to pull the foam onto the top of the device first.

4. Insert Contrelle with the wings front to back - not side to side towards your thighs.

5. Insert Contrelle so that the bottom of the wings are about 2cm - 3cm inside your vagina. The foam device should sit lower than a tampon. Don't insert too high into the vagina or the device could be difficult to remove.

6. Try to relax, otherwise, your muscles tense making insertion and removal of Contrelle more difficult. If you feel tense, have a glass of water or try taking a few deep breaths.

7. It's ok if you can feel Contrelle in place at first, after a few uses you don't notice it anymore.
