The FAQs

How does the string work? Plus

It's so simple - loop the string through the finger hole before inserting Uresta.  When it comes time to remove Uresta, grab the Removal String and follow the string to locate the Uresta handle.  Once you’ve located the handle, insert your finger through the finger hole before pulling Uresta out of the vagina.

Pro tip: Twisting or tipping Uresta side to side before pulling out of the vagina will help break the seal. 

Do I have to use the string? Plus

The string is totally optional. It just provides a little extra guidance for those who want/need it during removal. 

Is the string reusable? Plus

No. The strings are one time use.

What is the string made of? Plus

The optional Removal Strings for Uresta are made from a biocompatible medical grade fiber, which do not absorb fluids, odors, or bacteria.  The Removal Strings are strong, yet comfortable and discreet.
