It is important that women choose the one that is most effective for them. The size they need is not related to how much they weigh, how tall they are, how much they leak or how strong their pelvic floor is. It’s about finding the right size, which is a combination of the fit for the size and shape of their vagina, as well as the amount of support needed for the bladder to help stop leaks. There is no benefit in trying a size which is too large as it will not provide better results in stopping leakage. It will also be too tight to easily insert and will make removal difficult.

1. It is recommended to start with Size 1.
2. Once inserted women should feel comfortable.
3. They should experience little or no urine leakage when active or when coughing, and the device should not move.
4. If they still experience leakage or feel the device moves with Size 1, this could be due to the positioning rather than size. Before trying a larger size, they should check the device isn’t positioned too high, by gently pulling on both strings to slightly lower the position of Contrelle® Activgard.
5. If they still experience leakage they should try size 2.
6. If significant leakage still occurs when using Size 2 or the device moves, again they should try adjusting the positioning. If they still experience leakage they should try size 3.
7. We recommend walking for at least 30 minutes, cough, jump or run to check for any leakage and movement.
8. Contrelle® Activgard should always be easy to insert. A small amount of water-based lubricant should provide added comfort to insert.
9. Some will find their size quickly, and others may need to try all three to find their perfect fit.
