Hi,
When you return to get the pessary, and assuming it is comfortable, tell the Doctor you would prefer to insert and remove yourself on your own schedule and have him or her show you how and do it yourself in the office. You will develop your own way of doing that. I sometimes just put one leg up on the toilet seat. And you need a lubricant on one side . Have them show you the procedure. And they should have you walk around a bit and visit the restroom to make sure you don’t feel it and also to make sure it doesn’t fall out when urinating. No need to revisit every few months and you can remove it when you want to. And tell them…depending on the style of the pessary, yes you can have intercourse if it is a narrow ring with an opening. Mine is a closed ring with a little knob in the middle that acts like a handle lol.

You can private message me if you need any specifics.
