Scary Ovestin Applicator! Do You Use It?

(1/5) > >>

Tiredlady:
Hi Everyone,

I have both Ovestin and e-string. I haven't used Ovestin because the applicator scares me. Plus how do you get the e-string up there, and out again any suggestions or experiences please? Thank you :) xx

CLKD:
What's to worry about the applicator?  My advice would be not to push it too far into the vagina initially.  If necessary, squeeze the amount onto a tampon or finger rather than the plastic applicator.  I have no problems. 

'ovestin' needs using every night for at least 2-3 weeks. 

No advice about e-string.

Tiredlady:
Thanks CLKD! Its just so rigid and the doctor said push it right up and because its rigid I was worried about it. Great suggestion re using a tampon! Thank you x

CLKD:
What do Doctors know  >:(  ;D

If the vagina is tight or tender, trust your instinct.  Little and often. MayB a small amount mid afternoon and again in the evening for 3 nights, which will soften the walls of the vagina.  Then try a little further in ...... the idea being to replace any oestrogen lost to plump up the tissues.  Good Luck!

Tiredlady:
Thanks so much xx
