Think of us as a brace for your bladder.
Frequently asked questions.
Will using Uresta long-term make my incontinence worse?
No, it won’t! Uresta is not in the business of pelvic training, so no muscle workouts here, but it’s still a powerhouse against bladder leaks.
Translation: The Uresta doesn’t strengthen your muscles, but it also won’t make your incontinence worse.
Is Uresta comfortable?
Absolutely! Lots of women find the Uresta surprisingly comfy. Once you have the right size and you push it fully into place, you shouldn’t even notice it’s there. It’s comparable to a tampon or menstrual cup in the way it feels… some say even more comfortable!
How long can I wear it?
The Uresta works around your needs. Use it all day for round-the-clock protection, during specific scenarios like a good gym workout, or when you have a bad cold. When wearing it daily, we encourage taking it out before bed and giving your body an overnight break for a few hours of R&R.
Since the Uresta is crafted from a non-absorbent medical-grade material, it does not pose the same risk of toxic shock syndrome as tampons. So, you can keep it in longer, but it’s still a good idea to take it out before hitting the hay.
Does Uresta cause Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) or Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)?
The Uresta is licensed by Health Canada and cleared by the FDA, and it’s been shown in clinical studies to be a safe and reliable way to manage bladder leaks. Uresta won’t increase your chances of getting a UTI or other infections!
Plus, it’s made of a special material that does not soak up bacteria, so it doesn’t carry the same risk of toxic shock as tampons.
How long can I use before replacing it?
We recommend 1 year. Think of it like a wardrobe refresh. For safety and optimal long-term use, we recommend swapping out your Uresta at least once a year. It’s a hygiene thing, like renewing your toothbrush or switching out your socks. Keep it fresh, keep it comfy!
Is Uresta covered by insurance?
Coverage varies depending on your personal plan, so it’s best to double-check with your provider. Usually, the Uresta falls under medical devices or incontinence supplies. Mention Uresta by name, or ask about pessaries. Plus, if it’s not covered by your insurance, you can always use your Health Spending Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for it, which is pretty handy!
Can I have intercourse with Uresta inserted?
Since the Uresta fits cozily in your vagina, it’s best to remove it before diving into sexy time – could get crowded in there!
