Summary

Uresta is a reusable, bell-shaped vaginal pessary designed specifically to manage Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)—the kind of leaking that happens when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise.

Unlike pads that merely absorb the mess, Uresta is a mechanical solution that stops leaks before they start by providing physical support to the urethra.

Finding the Right Fit
Sizing is crucial for both comfort and effectiveness. Uresta comes in several sizes (typically 2 through 6).

  • The Starter Kit: Most people begin with a Starter Kit containing sizes 3, 4, and 5 (which fit about 80–90% of users).
  • Testing: You typically start with a mid-size and adjust based on whether it stays in place or if you still experience leaks.
  • Activity-Based: Some women find they need a larger size for high-impact sports but a smaller size for everyday activities.

Usage Tips
  • Daily Wear: It can be worn all day or just during specific activities (like a gym session).
  • Hygiene: It should be removed every night before bed and cleaned.
  • Intercourse: It must be removed before sexual intercourse.
  • Lubrication: If insertion feels difficult, a small amount of water-based lubricant can help.

How It Works
When inserted into the vaginal canal, the widest part of the Uresta bell gently presses against the vaginal wall. This action supports and slightly compresses the urethra, keeping it closed during moments of physical "stress" (like a jump or a sneeze).

  • It is not a tampon: It does not absorb anything.

  • Normal Function: You can still urinate normally while wearing it; the device provides support but doesn't completely block the flow when you're actually trying to go.

  • Discreet: Once it's properly positioned, you shouldn't be able to feel it.
