Why You'll Love It

Effective Faecal Incontinence Protection – Designed to create a secure seal within the anal canal, helping prevent unwanted stool leakage and bowel accidents.
Soft, Comfortable & Pressure-Free – Made from highly elastic PVA foam that softens when moistened, adapting to your natural anatomy without uncomfortable pressure.
Discreet Anal Incontinence Protection – Worn internally, the A-Tam anal tampon is invisible beneath clothing, even when wearing tighter-fitting outfits.
Helps Prevent Unwanted Odours – Creates a barrier to help prevent the escape of unpleasant odours and unwanted gas.
Body-Friendly PVA Foam – Manufactured from toxicologically and dermatologically safe polyvinyl alcohol foam, designed for comfortable use.

Perfect For:

The A-Tam Cylinder Anal Pessary is designed for people living with faecal incontinence (bowel incontinence) who retain some residual anal sphincter muscle function but cannot achieve a reliable sealing and holding function.

It may be suitable for people experiencing bowel leakage associated with:

Weak or underdeveloped anal sphincter muscles
Spina bifida
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Diabetes-related nerve damage
Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
Anal or colorectal surgery
Childbirth-related injuries
Haemorrhoid surgery
Age-related muscle weakness
Nerve damage following cancer treatment or radiotherapy

How Does the A-Tam Anal Cylinder Work?

Unlike conventional bowel incontinence pads, which absorb leakage externally, the A-Tam anal pessary works internally to help prevent faecal leakage before it happens.

Made from specially processed polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) foam, the tampon becomes soft, supple and flexible when briefly soaked in warm water, allowing it to adapt to the natural anatomy of the anal canal.

Its specially developed surface features tiny cup-shaped micropores that create a suction-like sealing effect, helping the tampon stay securely in place while providing an effective barrier against unwanted stool leakage.

The result? A comfortable, pressure-free fit that helps manage faecal incontinence, giving you greater reassurance without visible protection beneath your clothes.

How to Use Your A-Tam Anal Pessary

Designed for simple self-application, inserting your A-Tam anal pessary is similar to using a suppository.

Prepare – Wash your hands thoroughly and clean the anal area.
Remove – Open the protective packaging and gently pull the retrieval string out of the inner hole.
Moisten – Briefly soak the PVA foam tampon in warm water and gently squeeze out the excess.
Insert – Gently guide the applicator into the anal canal, leaving the retrieval string visible.
Secure – Squeeze your buttocks together as you carefully withdraw the applicator.
Remove – After use, gently pull the retrieval string to remove the tampon and dispose of it with household waste.

Important: Each A-Tam anal tampon is designed for single use only and should be removed after a maximum of 6–8 hours. The applicator is reusable and only needs to be purchased once.

What is the A-Tam Cylinder Anal Pessary used for? 
The A-Tam Cylinder Anal Pessary is an innovative anal tampon designed to help manage faecal incontinence (bowel incontinence). It is inserted into the anal canal to create a gentle, secure seal that helps prevent accidental stool leakage, unwanted gas and unpleasant odours. Made from soft PVA foam, it provides discreet bowel leakage protection and greater confidence throughout the day.

How does an A-Tam anal tampon prevent bowel leakage? 
The A-Tam anal tampon works by creating an internal seal within the anal canal to help prevent unwanted faecal leakage. Its specially developed polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) foam becomes soft and flexible when moistened, adapting to your natural anatomy. Tiny cup-shaped micropores on the surface help create a suction-like effect, providing a secure yet pressure-free fit for comfortable faecal incontinence management.

Who should use the A-Tam Cylinder Anal Pessary? 
The A-Tam Cylinder Anal Pessary is recommended for people experiencing faecal incontinence who retain some residual anal sphincter muscle function but cannot achieve a reliable seal. It may be suitable for people with weakened anal sphincter muscles, multiple sclerosis (MS), spina bifida, spinal cord injuries, diabetes-related nerve damage or bowel control problems following childbirth, surgery or injury. Always consult a healthcare professional to establish whether an anal tampon is suitable for your needs.

How long can you wear an A-Tam anal tampon? 
The A-Tam anal tampon can be worn for a maximum of 6–8 hours, providing discreet protection against bowel leakage throughout your daily activities. Each PVA foam anal tampon is designed for single use only and must be removed using the attached retrieval string before disposal. Never reuse an anal tampon.

What size A-Tam anal pessary should I choose? 
Choosing the correct A-Tam anal pessary size is essential for comfortable and effective faecal incontinence protection. The A-Tam Cylinder is available in five diameters: 20mm, 28mm, 33mm, 40mm and 45mm. If you're new to A-Tam anal tampons, we recommend the A-Tam Starter Set, which contains five different cylindrical sizes and a reusable applicator to help you identify the most suitable fit.

Does the A-Tam Cylinder Anal Pessary come with an applicator? 
Individual A-Tam Cylinder Anal Tampons do not automatically include an applicator. The reusable A-Tam applicator is designed for repeated use and only needs to be purchased once. If you're trying A-Tam for the first time, we recommend purchasing the A-Tam Starter Set, which includes an applicator and a selection of cylindrical sizes. Once you've found your ideal fit, you can order individual A-Tam anal tampons without needing another applicator.
