Had high hope this would work.
"I tried using this about 5 times. It might be me and work for someone else. It’s a well made product."
Anatomy makes a difference
"Nobody can tell you if this is going to work for you or not. Everyone’s anatomy is a bit different so everyone’s outcome will be different. I’ll provide my experience here, but unless you try it, you’ll never really know if it works for you. It’s not that expensive so I’d recommend you just try it and find out.
Construction- fairly standard tampon type applicator, but about twice as wide. Easy to handle, but because it’s wider if you’re not paying attention, it can pinch as you advance it. The silicone device seems sturdy and well made. I was concerned that the thin cotton string would gradually cut through it, but it seems to be holding up well. Overall, I’d give it a 4 for construction.
Comfort- I’m not going to lie, it takes a bit of getting used to. The first day I had to take some OTC meds because there was a sensation of pressure that was uncomfortable. But over the next 3 days that went away almost completely. It can shift a bit when you go to the bathroom, so you may have to readjust it afterward or it can be unclear . Overall, I’d give it a 4 for comfort.
Convenience- since you place it and leave it, you can’t get much more convenient than that. Although I would say that having to wash the applicator afterward could be an issue if you were out and had to reinsert it for some reason. Although it would be more convenient to have a disposable version, this is more environmentally friendly. 5 stars
Effectiveness-normally, I have frequent dribbles that become much more if I laugh, sneeze or exercise. This took care of the dribbles completely, but does not manage much beyond that for me. Obviously I don’t sneeze, laugh and exercise 24/7 so as long as I assume the “Mom sneeze” position, I’m ok. I had hoped that this would be a miracle device that would manage all my issues, but unfortunately it doesn’t. I still wouldn’t say its a waste because it did manage the frequent annoyance and helps a little bit with the more sudden episodes. For that reason I’m giving effectiveness a 2
Overall 3.5 stars"
My anatomy - lower insert is better
"I have been using this for about 15 days. Some days it kinda-worked (lessoned frequent drips), 2 days it TOTALLY worked. Was trying to figure out what variable was causing discrepancy. Initially I was inserting applicator to the very tip of my vagina and pushing up (had to use other hand for this). I figured that the-further-in-the-better. NOT SO for my body. After further experimentation, it works much better the lower it is placed. All that to say, everybody's body is different. If it's not working for you, try lower OR higher. I even tried with the inner circle forward facing in application, and lower facing in applicator (still of course aimed up with string at the bottom, if that makes sense. Try different ways before you give up -- because overall this has been a great help."
