How it works

An anatomical illustration of a female pelvic cross-section labeled with uterus, bladder, urethra, and vagina. The diagram highlights the relationship between these organs.

Most of us start life with strong muscles that support the urethra, keeping it closed so urine doesn’t leak during daily activities.

Over time, these muscles can weaken or become damaged, causing bladder leaks during moments of pressure, like laughing or jumping.

Uresta is inserted into the vagina and sits under the urethra, acting as a support shelf through the vaginal wall to stop leaks.

With Uresta in place, you can still urinate normally as the natural pressure from urinating opens the urethra.

The results are in and leaks are out

The FAQs

Will it make my incontinence worse over time? Plus

No, it won’t! 

While Uresta isn’t designed for pelvic muscle training, it’s highly effective at managing bladder leaks. In other words, 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

Coverage varies depending on your personal plan, so it’s best to double-check with your provider. Usually, the Uresta falls under medical devices or incontinence supplies. Mention Uresta by name, or ask about pessaries. Plus, if it’s  not covered by your insurance, you can always use your Health Spending Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for it, which is pretty handy!

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!
