Tips:

• Using both hands can be very helpful since the introducer is a little larger than a traditional tampon.
• Flat Side ALWAYS DOWN
• Once inserted, use one hand at the grip area of the Dark blue BODY to hold it and the other to hand to push forward the ADVANCER
• This will prevent “push-back” on the applicator and reduce chances of delivering to shallow or not deep enough. (Feels like it is falling out)

Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is the unintentional or involuntary loss of urine, or bladder leaks, caused by sudden pressure on the bladder and urethra. This usually occurs from physical activity, such as laughing, coughing, sneezing, or exercise. SUI is very common, and over 14 million women in the United States experience it.

Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) occurs when the muscles and other tissues that support the bladder (your pelvic floor muscles) and the muscles that regulate the release of urine, weaken. Factors that may cause or worsen SUI include: age, obesity, smoking, high impact activities, illnesses that cause chronic coughing or sneezing, and childbirth.
