I have used a cube pessary for 4 years, having wanting to manage my prolapse rather than going down the surgery route - or at least staving off surgery for as long as possible. However I have noticed that the cube has not been as comfortable, I have had occasional spotting, and when I test my weekly pH levels - something is out. I saw this online and like the idea that I can manage it and it moves with my body. I can say that the material is so much different to a cube (with drains) - I didn't think it would give me the support, but it is quite the opposite. I have taken it also to show my GP and she is very supportive and encourages me to use whatever works for me. The fact it interacts with my delicate vaginal tissues - I'm using vagirux oestrogen tablets (NHS prescription) but the tissue is more delicate with age. Using the Somaflex feels comfortable and the level of support is without doubt both comfortable and feels remarkably effective. I have kept my old cube but wont use it!

So, I was coming up to my 6 month renewal on my ring pessary, and I had noticed some bleeding. I decided to remove it and give the Soma Flex a try after my friend recommended it. So, I removed my ring pessary - but had a lot of bleeding, so decided to go pessary-less for a couple of weeks while the cervical ulceration calmed down. Lots of vaginal oestrogen (vagifem daily) and rest, and wearing my SRC support shorts daily. Then I tried the Soma Flex, it is just like a pessary and so easy to insert and comfortable to wear. I tried the small and I felt it came down too low in my vagina. The next size up stayed high up inside and supports perfectly I have front and back wall prolapse and whilst you can have sex with the pessary ring in place - I prefer to be without. The soma flex is removed nightly which reduces the irritation that I can sometimes get for the 6 monthly 'wear before you change it' of a ring pessary. So no extra discharge that can be associated with pessary use. Brilliant!

I have pretty much no symptoms with my prolapses (thanks to hypopressives) but I want something to use during exercise (running, strength training etc) just so heading into perimenopause I feel I'm doing everything I can to support my pelvic health.
