The FAQs

Will it make my incontinence worse over time? Plus

No, it won’t! 

Uresta is not in the business of pelvic training, so no muscle workouts here, but it’s still a powerhouse against bladder leaks. 

Translation: The Uresta doesn’t strengthen your muscles, but it also won’t make your incontinence worse.

Is Uresta comfortable? Plus

Absolutely! Lots of women find the Uresta surprisingly comfy. Once you have the right size and you push it fully into place, you shouldn’t even notice it’s there. It’s comparable to a tampon or menstrual cup in the way it feels… some say even more comfortable!

How long can I wear it? Plus

The Uresta works around your needs. Use it for all day protection, during specific scenarios like a good gym workout, or when you have a bad cold. When wearing it daily, we encourage taking it out before bed and giving your vaginal tissues an overnight break.

Since the Uresta is crafted from a non-absorbent medical-grade material, it does not pose the same risk of toxic shock syndrome as tampons.

Does Uresta cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) or toxic shock syndrome (TSS)? Plus

The Uresta is licensed by Health Canada and cleared by the FDA, and it’s been shown in clinical studies to be a safe and reliable way to manage bladder leaks. Uresta won’t increase your chances of getting a UTI or other infections! 

Plus, it’s made of a special material that does not soak up bacteria, so it doesn’t carry the same risk of toxic shock as tampons.

How long can I use before replacing it? Plus

We recommend 1 year. Think of it like a wardrobe refresh. For safety and optimal long-term use, we recommend swapping out your Uresta at least once a year. It’s a hygiene thing, like renewing your toothbrush or switching out your socks. Keep it fresh, keep it comfy!

We know a year can fly by when you’re leak-free. That’s why we recommend signing up here to be reminded when it’s time to replace your Uresta.

Is Uresta covered by insurance? Plus

Uresta is not currently covered by insurance companies in the US, but is FSA / HSA eligible. You can now pay using your FSA / HSA credit card at checkout!  Contact your provider to confirm details.

In Canada, Uresta is covered by most major insurance providers, but we always recommend that women give their provider a call to confirm the specifics of their plan.

Can I have intercourse with Uresta inserted? Plus

Since the Uresta fits cozily in your vagina, it’s best to remove it before diving into sexy time – could get crowded in there!
