    Product Description

    Immediate protection from stress incontinence leaks

     

    Leaks from stress incontinence shouldn’t stop you from doing the things that you love.

    You should be able to go for a jog, lift weights, play your favourite sport, or simply get through the day without worrying about coughing, laughing or sneezing at the wrong moment. A Contiform vaginal pessary gives you back the freedom to move with confidence.

     

    Contiform can be used alongside a pelvic floor exercise routine. It provides instant protection from leaks while you work on strengthening your pelvic floor - making it a popular choice for women returning to exercise after childbirth, as well as those in perimenopause or menopause, when pelvic floor strength can naturally decline.

     

    Reusable, flexible and discreet - How Contiform fits into your daily life

     

    Unlike a fitted pessary, Contiform is designed for day-to-day use. Whether that's popping to the shops, a long day on your feet, or anything in between. Inserted in the same way as a tampon, it's a familiar and straightforward solution that helps you get on with your day without the worry of leaks, and without relying on pads.

     

    Each pessary is reusable up to 30 times, so it’s more cost-effective and sustainable than disposable products. And it can be worn throughout your monthly cycle, although many women prefer not to use it during their period for comfort.

     

    Contiform is available in three sizes - small, medium and large - and there’s a handy starter pack to help you find your perfect fit.

     

    How to Use a Contiform vaginal pessary

     

    The Contiform vaginal pessary is made from medical-grade silicone, so it’s soft, pliable and comfortable to wear. A small notch on one side lets it fold down for easy insertion, while it’s shaped to sit securely in place and provide gentle support to your bladder.

     

    To insert, use the notch to fold the pessary and gently insert the tapered end into the vagina as far back as is comfortable. To remove, pull the ribbon downward as you would when removing a tampon. Do not pull upward, as this may cause the ribbon to break. After each use, wash with warm water and a perfume-free soap. A small amount of water-based lubricant can also help with insertion - browse our range of vaginal lubricants to use alongside your pessary.

     

    If the pessary doesn't stay in place and you're confident you have the right size, a healthcare professional can offer further guidance.

     

    Available via NHS prescription

    Contiform prescription pessaries can be prescribed by a GP or other health professional on the NHS. It’s listed in the NHS Drug Tariff Part IXB (Incontinence Appliances) as an ‘insert for female stress incontinence’.

    FAQs

    <h3>What is a Contiform vaginal pessary? </h3>
    A Contiform vaginal pessary is a reusable, tampon-shaped bladder support device designed to help manage stress urinary incontinence in women. Worn internally, it provides gentle support to the bladder neck to help prevent leaks during activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercise. Contiform is a non-surgical, drug-free incontinence solution that can be used comfortably at home.

    <h3>How does Contiform work for stress incontinence? </h3>
    Contiform works by supporting the bladder neck and urethra, helping them stay closed during moments of pressure (like movement or exertion). This targeted support reduces or prevents urine leakage caused by stress incontinence. It offers immediate protection while you strengthen your pelvic floor muscles with exercises for long-term improvement.

    <h3>How do I insert a vaginal pessary? </h3>
    To insert a Contiform vaginal pessary, hold it between your thumb and first two fingers and gently insert the tapered end into the vagina, similar to inserting a tampon. Push it back as far as is comfortable. The design includes a narrow channel to ensure a secure fit without placing excess pressure on the bladder. Always wash the pessary with warm water and fragrance-free soap before and after use.

    <h3>Can I wear Contiform all day? </h3>
    Contiform can be worn during the day for activities where you need extra bladder support, such as exercising or going about daily tasks. However, it is generally recommended to remove it at night to allow your body to rest. Always follow the usage guidance provided and consult a healthcare professional if you are unsure.

    <h3>Can I wear a Contiform throughout the menstrual cycle? </h3>
    Contiform can be used at different times during your menstrual cycle, but it is not typically recommended to wear it while using tampons. Many women choose to avoid using a pessary during their period for comfort and hygiene reasons. If unsure, speak to a healthcare professional for personalised advice.

    <h3>Is Contiform reusable? </h3>
    Yes, Contiform is a reusable vaginal pessary. It is designed for repeated use, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to disposable incontinence products like pads. Simply wash it thoroughly with warm water and mild, perfume-free soap after each use and allow it to dry before storing.

    <h3>Who should not use a vaginal pessary? </h3>
    A vaginal pessary like Contiform may not be suitable for everyone. It should not be used if you have an active vaginal infection, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or certain pelvic conditions without medical advice. If you are unsure whether Contiform is right for you, consult your GP or a pelvic health specialist before use.

    <h3>What are the possible side effects of a vaginal pessary? </h3>
    Most women find Contiform comfortable and easy to use, but some may experience mild discomfort, irritation, or difficulty keeping it in place—particularly if pelvic floor muscles are very weak. Proper sizing and correct insertion can help minimise these issues. If you experience ongoing discomfort, discontinue use and seek advice from a healthcare professional.

    <h3>Where can I buy Contiform in the UK? </h3>
    You can buy the Contiform vaginal pessary in the UK directly from Kegel8.co.uk, a trusted provider of pelvic health and incontinence solutions. Ordering online ensures discreet delivery and access to expert support, helping you find the right solution for managing stress urinary incontinence with confidence.

    <h3> Can I get Contiform on prescription?</h3>
    Yes you can - Contiform pessaries can be prescribed on the NHS.

    Works for Me!

    I'm very active and play a lot of tennis in the summer. I was finding that I might leak when jumping and landing and was quietly horrified. I'd always prided myself on a strong pelvic floor. Fund this reviewed on a Mums Running site and it works a treat. I started with the small, but ideally my size if the medium - so should have got the sizing kit initially. It folds like a menstrual cup and inserts easily enough, I use the removal cord. I use a bit of gel for insertion and i know it is supposed to last about 1 month, but so far I have got 3 months out of my medium. I know I can get it it on prescription, but it is just as easy to order online than go through the faff with my GP. Will certainly continue to use this because it stops any leaks ABSOLUTELY!.

    Prescribed by my pelvic physio

    I've had the Contiform prescribed by my pelvic physio for 2 years and usually get it on NHS prescription. Suddenly it's supposedly no longer made yet I can buy it from Kegel8, thank god! It's perfect for my needs and I'm very grateful that Kegel8 still offer it, just annoyed I now have to buy it privately as my NHS practice don't have a contract with Kegel8 and don't seem interested in getting one. Thanks to Kegel8 for manufacturing this and doing their best to get it via the NHS.

    Excellent device

    Used this for years and has allowed me to continue sport without leaks. Thank you. I get it on prescription now occasionally issues with sourcing it for the pharmacy. The ribbon can irritate the vagina so I prefer not to use it.

    Thank you for your loyal use of Contiform Vaginal Pessary! We're delighted it helps you stay active without leaks. We apologize for any inconvenience sourcing it via prescription—your pharmacist can contact us directly for stock updates. Regarding ribbon irritation, some users find moistening it before use or careful positioning helpful. Please reach out to our support team for further tips or alternative solutions. Your comfort is very important to us!

    Review of purchase

    Following information on how to use vaginal pessary trial pack on video, I found that the sizing and material were not comfortable to wear. So disappointed.

    It is really shameful.....

    The cost of this thing, especially to have to buy the multi size pack for starters....I think I could probably really do with this for a horrible prolapse problem, but for the manufacturer and this retailer to capitalise on something so simple made out of a tiny amount of moulded silicon, no doubt made in China for peanuts, is a disgrace! I buy little things all the time made from silicon from for a couple of £s.... silicon is cheap!...Of course the response will be about the grade of silicon I'm sure, but we're not talking about the creation of a diamond from a bit of plastic, just a good grade of silicon. This is really money making out of poor women's suffering and their desire to be discreet about their problem. What an industry!!! How about some honest, properly priced kind support for our suffering, instead of capitalising out of us!!!

    Thank you for sharing your concerns and feedback. We understand the frustration regarding the price and the sensitive nature of why you need this product. The Contiform Vaginal Pessary is made from high-quality medical-grade silicone to ensure safety and effectiveness for intimate use, which does impact production costs. Australian made we import into the UK, We truly value your perspective and are committed to supporting women’s health. If you have questions about sizing or need guidance, please contact us—we’re here to help and want to make your experience as positive and discreet as possible. I can also confirm that the Contiform Incontinence Pessary is now available from your GP on the NHS. Sadly GP's don't always know about them, so if you are a fan, and they work for you we recommend an initial purchase from us. Test the size that's right for you - then go to your GP and ask to be prescribed the item. I hope this helps clarify our situation - we hear you!

    Didn’t work for me

    Tried it on my long runs and it didn’t stop my leaks at all. It was ok for day to day use but that’s not what I needed it for. Insertion was difficult as I was unsure if I’d got it in right the first few times.

    Contiform pessery

    I would not have spent £45 if I’d known that this product is only for “occasional use ! If you used it daily it only lasts 30 days then needs replacing @£45 a time , if you use occasionally it lasts a little longer, very disappointed with this product ! For women who are trying to function on a daily basis with bladder pain and incontinent issues the price is unrealistic.

    Not for me

    I found insertion was difficult, not because of my anatomy but because the contiform is so rigid and thick. Squeezing it together at the same time as inserting was almost impossible with just a couple of fingers. I used the smallest of the three sizes. It worked to keep me dry but removal was just as difficult and must have caused damage as was blood stained. Not for me!

    Very happy with this product

    My only regret is why I didn’t know about this product 20 years ago. Since having a hysterectomy at 43 I’ve experienced leakage for many years and gradually my self confidence has declined so much that I felt I couldn’t apply for a job or go for hearty walks any more and I dreaded social occasions. Well now my confidence is back and I am striding out with a spring in my step and no longer have to shuffle along slowly hoping to get to a loo ASAP. I can’t wait to go paddle boarding in Turkey next year and explore the national park without dreading embarrassing leaks.

    Would thoroughly recommend, All doctors should be made aware of this device.

    After seeking medical advice and seeing a women’s health physiotherapist, she gave me pelvic floor muscles exercises to do and whilst I saw a slight improvement, my main leaks occurred whilst I was playing sport and also the three days before I started my period and so she suggested Contiform. I have to say for me is has been life changing, not only because I don’t leak but also the positive mental benefit this has had for me, so thank you!

    Fantastic

    Im in my early 40s and had been living with gradually worsening stress incontinence for over 8 yrs since the birth of my son.
    I had been seeing a physio to help with pelvic floor strengthening and she recommended this product. It is simply life changing. I was told the medium one would be my size but it's the small size that is more comfortable for me. I am now dry and no more lurking around the incontinence pad aisle feeling embarrassed. I can exercise freely and go out for a drink without feeling stressed.
    I have been offered surgery but now I'm using this product and trying a electronic kegel unit to tone my pelvic floor to see if can avoid it. This has been a life saver!

    Fantastic

    I bought the starter pack and soon found out that the small size was perfect, I also found that after a few weeks I could go without using the pessary every day, it seemed to have helped support my urethra and because of this I Found that it lasted nearly 8 weeks now wether this was luck I'VE yet to find out!
    I am now using my second after one week.
    I have been under a Urologist who I told about this product and how impressed I was with it and now he has Prescribed it for me so I am over the moon because it is expensive.
    It is so wonderful to be able to go out with out worrying about being wet and uncomfortable.
    I did find it a little strange at first but after a couple of days it was ok.
    Thanks Contiform for giving me my confidence back.

    After having baby #1 I suffered with poor pelvic floor leading to light incontinence. It made it impossible to exercise however so when i was alerted to contiform it literally changed my life

    I can now exercise as much as I want leak-free and have lost 2 stone :-)

    Excellent

    Ordered the pack first. Both the small and medium work for me. I has given up on running after having my son as I hated leaking. This works! I can go running and come home completely dry. I hope it lasts as they are quite expensive. Ive used the small about 15 times and the crack (normal) has got bigger, but still ok for the moment. I will definately buy another whjen it finally breaks as it has changed my life, thank you!
