Scary Ovestin Applicator! Do You Use It?
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
