update on progress

Body: 

Well, I got the sea sponges and they are working like a charm. I mean, it keeps everything pushed up and I don't feel anything, like the sponge is not even there. I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow to diagnosis what "dropped". but I am determined if they suggest surgery I am not going to do it. The book is good too. Oh, and when I ordered the sponges I got them in the mail very fast, like 3 days!

I just ordered the sponge as well but am having trouble with them. Did you have trouble putting them in? They feel so scratchy? I did wet it. Any advice you can give? Thanks.

Sincerely,
New Mom Y

yes, I had trouble at first. Even when I wet the sponge. I cut it down to make it smaller and that helped. And I just used it occassionally at first. Took a break for a week. Then I tried it again and now I am more comfortable and forget I have it in. I use it on the weekend when I am not at work to experiment and get used to it.

hello, just wanted to ask will the sponges help if you have already had the surgery for cystocele and still feel like you are falling apart? thanks nancieelee

Welcome Nancieelee,

For a very few dollars it's sure worth a try...but hopefully you will also utilize the posture for the best long-term results.

Wishing you well,

Christine

i looked up the sea sponges on line ... are these the ones that are sold to be used instead of tampons? i assume they are the same ones you are talking about ... and then you use them instead to help put things into place?
thanks

Yes, you use them just like tampons. I probably shouldn

oops...I was just corrected by Shayla...

"What the lady called about was to see if they could exchange links on the wholewoman.com website and they would like to put one on their site too. I took down their info and gave it to Lanny, and he was the one who mentioned being a distributor.
She was really excited about how many women have been using this product as a pessary successfully and she's had many women calling requesting it even though she does not advertise this particular use of the sponges."

that's great!
i am in no hurry. i think i'll wait and order from you!

Hi Everyone,

I just want to say how grateful I am to have found this site! I would have NEVER found out about sea sponges had I not logged on! The sea sponge works so well that I am not even aware of my prolapse during the day. I can stand, exercise, clean or whatever without that heavy uncomfortable feeling by day's end. This is truly life-changing for me. Last night my husband and I went to a fundraising event for our son's school. There was lot's of standing -- I was dreading it, but the sponge worked like a charm! I also want to say that now have my very own copy of Christine's book, I have found I am devouring the information contained in her book. Ever since I suspected prolapse, even before confirming wiht my doctor, I was seaching for answers. I searched websites and books, nothing even came close to the information supplied in in Christine's book. The information contained about the female anatomy and even the pictures of what the different prolapses look like are so helpful. I'm amazed how little information there is out there on the subject. I read Christine's own story and felt so saddened for her that RIGHT after her surgery she had problems -- how devastating that must have been. I am in awe of how she created and changed her life from a point of desperation. It seemed the medical community she belonged to had actually failed her in the end. Thanks so much Christine for sharing your personal story and sparing me my "natural design"...I starting to feel like surgery might be the only answer for me. I have been trying to change my posture and be more aware of how I sit, stand, etc. This is hard work, but I'm sure well worth the effort. I hope to be able to write in one day saying I have achieved some level of success. Thanks again for all you do. Much peace to all, April

Fabulous April...

Hi Moselle, I also am waiting for the delivery of sponges. So glad to hear that you are happy with them. I'm 61, and the weekends are hectic. I have to care for Mom and do her errands and cleaning so I am on my feet a lot. Not too much time to exercise. I loved C.K.s book and will order video in May. Can't wait to learn "Posture". It is so good to hear from women who are having the same problems as I am! I have never been on the internet before I read her book! This is my 3rd week of ever, ever using the internet. What a wonder I have found. Thanks to all my chat room friends , Nancy

I would like to try the sponges when I am on vacation and walking
and hiking all day. Did you purchase them on line and if so
what is the name of the company.

Thanks

Kathy from Sacramento

Hi Kathy,

There are two companies that you can order the sponges from here on the home page. Just click on the "Resources" link.

Hope you're doing well,

Christine
