When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Another note on this
Once the pessary is in should it be standing up or should it spread out as though it is a plate?

Pessary questions
Hi and welcome to Whole Woman. There may be some past or current pessary users who might see your post and be able to address your questions. But most of the active members at present, have never used one, and are probably not considering it. I think you will just have to experiment to see what works best and feels best. There are so many different types and sizes that it's rare to have great luck on the first try. You do have some complicated issues which extend beyond the scope of this Forum, which is a community of women pursuing natural prolapse management. And you haven't mentioned your prolapse or why you wear a pessary. Do you still have your uterus? Sorry if we can't be of more help; however, Christine does do consultations and she is probably the only one qualified here. - Surviving

Poise Impressa Bladder Supports
I tried two sizes of pessaries on my own, (purchased online) and I wondered the same thing. Apparently it does take many experimental tries to get the right kind and fit, even with a doctor's fit. Mine both round, stayed standing, even after I tried the "plate" position. I had no luck. But Poise Impressa Bladder Supports (3 sizes to try in one pack) size 1 has been helpful on high physical energy days, and I mentally feel like it gives my bladder a reminder to get back up there where it belongs. My "self-help" mental work!!!

Pessary fitting
Hello, I am 70 years old, was fitted with a pessary on Friday, 9/6, had to go back on 9/9 to get it removed. My doctor said you shouldn't know it is in there and I felt this, really no pain, just real uncomfortable. I couldn't see my regular GYN doctor on Monday, saw another one, and it was a very unpleasant time removing the pessary. It hurt and I spotted some for a couple days. I am very new to the pessary also, so I am hoping someone else will share some information about them as I go back Friday, 9/13 to try another size. Wishing you the best of luck.
