No just finger ....I am tall with a long vagina 🙄 so it really does take all my gymnastic moves to reach it and hold onto it .

Hi, I've been using an Estring for nearly 2 years no problems, I also use Replens on the outside.  xx

Thanks for the replies, ladies. Although I can feel the edge of the damn thing with an index finger, I just can't hook a finger onto the edge of it. The top of the vagina plus ring seems to flop away out of reach when I try. I tried bearing down while in a squatting position but to no avail. I even fell over on the second attempt!    I'll have another go, but perhaps I'll have to have it removed at the surgery when changeover time comes.

Apart from all that, it's giving good results.

Thanks again, JP x

A late reply here - think Estring is brilliant except yes, you do seem to get problems with thrush perhaps because of it. The last GUM clinic visit I had, they said that you could have too much oestrogen in the vagina, so that the cells produce too much glycogen which is perfect for growing yeast. I am currently on a six-week course of oral anti-thrush treatment so will see what happens after that.
Also - if you can't get it out easily, have you tried squatting in a warm shower?

is this available in the UK?  I've found I can't tolerate Ovestin or Vagifem (swelling that gets very uncomfortable) and wondering if the Estring might be an alternative.

Yes it is available in the UK.

Hello Psychosocial, I know it was 3 years ago but did you try the estring?
