How it works.
Let’s start by covering off some of the biggest questions and misconceptions around how this little miracle-worker works.
Let’s start by covering off some of the biggest questions and misconceptions around how this little miracle-worker works.
Inside your vagina, not your urethra where your pee comes from. It goes in a similar position as a tampon, but it doesn’t absorb pee (it’s not even in your urethra remember).
You read right, this isn’t a plug – it gently presses up against the vaginal wall to close the urethra on the other side – meaning pee can’t escape. You can still pee with it inside you though – the natural pressure of peeing opens your urethra so pee comes out.
Nope, one of the best things about Uresta is it’s reusable. It’s made of hypoallergenic, medical-grade resin so you just wash it with soap and reuse it. Your $139 goes a long, long way. It also doesn’t absorb odours, bacteria or cause UTI or other infections!
It’s natural to feel a little apprehensive the first time but, as thousands of our converters know, it really is no biggie. And if you’ve ever used a tampon, this will be familiar territory.
Put one leg up on the bathtub or chair. You can also use a little bit of water-based lubricant to help with insertion.
Open your vagina’s lips, then using the handle, push Uresta into your vagina at a 45 degree angle, or pointing towards your tailbone.
If the handle’s at the opening of the vagina, push the handle in until the first knuckle on your finger is at the opening of your vagina (approximate depth of 1 inch).
Tip: You shouldn’t be able to feel it when it’s correctly inside you.
To remove, wash your hands, feel for the handle, grasp it with your thumb and index finger to pull it out. You may want to try twisting Uresta or tipping it to one side using the handle to break the natural suction before removing. Wash with soap and water and it’s ready to be used again.

Vaginas come in all shapes and sizes (and it has nothing to do with your weight or height). That’s why Uresta is available in 5 sizes, but what size are you? To make finding your perfect fit easy, our starter kit (just $139) comes with the 3 sizes which work for over 80% of women. Experiment to find the one that works for you, and if you need to try the other two sizes, we’ll send them to you for free.
