How to use Contrelle...
Using Contrelle is as simple as using a tampon, though works in a very different way. But before you get started, watch our video and read the Instructions for Use (IFU). And do please check the list of contraindications and precautions before using Contrelle.
To find the right size for you, we suggest:
- It is recommended you start with size 1
- Once inserted you should feel comfortable
- You should experience little or no urine leakage when you are active or when you cough, and the device should not move
- If you still experience leakage or you feel the device moves with size 1, try size 2
- If significant leakage still occurs with size 2 or the device moves, change to size 3
- We recommend you should walk for at least 30 minutes, cough, jump or run to check for any leakage and movement
- Contrelle® Activgard should always be easy to insert. A small amount of water-based lubricant should provide added comfort to insert
Some women will find their size quickly, and others may need to try all three to find their perfect fit.
Many women find using a water-based lubricant such as YES, can help ease insertion.
Contrelle is fitted properly if:
- You can walk for 30 minutes, cough, jump or run without any leakage or with substantially reduced leakage.
- You are still able to urinate. Contrelle should not stop you from passing urine.
Don’t be put off if you still leak a little at first. This can be because your body is getting used to the fit or because you’re one of the few that will continue to leak but at a significantly reduced rate.
Some women may experience slight initial discomfort until they get used to the product. Clinical experience suggests most women do not feel Contrelle Activgard after 2 or 3 uses.
Please read the full Instructions for Use leaflet inside your Sizing Kit Pack before use.
