Experience with pessaries

Hello everyone,

When researching the history of gynecology, the use of pessaries for contraception played a major role in the past. Nowadays, they are used to stabilize the bladder and uterus in cases of pelvic floor weakness and incontinence. It seems to me that this is a taboo subject among women, even though they are frequently recommended and used in clinical practice. So, I’d like to ask: Who has experience with these pessaries, and for what purpose?

I took off all the unneeded tags from this topic and the French and German ones too.

Only through my wife's experience can I offer her take on these devices. Her doctor tried several types to address bladder issues. She found them to be utter useless and unpleasant so opted for surgery instead. I would not use the term taboo per se, but I would think that discussing having to stuff a rubber plug in your business as something you just don't share.
