Size: The appropriate size depends on your anatomy, prolapse and the level of support required.

Material and firmness: Pink Pearls are smooth synthetic sponges, while Sea Pearl is made from natural sea sponge and has a firmer texture.

Clinical guidance: A healthcare provider or pelvic health physiotherapist can help you determine whether a sponge is appropriate and which size to consider.

Only trim a sponge if this is permitted in the manufacturer's instructions.

Speak with a healthcare professional before use if you have unexplained bleeding, a current vaginal infection, have recently given birth or undergone pelvic surgery. Stop using the sponge and seek advice if you experience pain, irritation, bleeding or worsening symptoms.

Clean and rinse the sponge as directed after each use.

Allow it to air-dry completely before storage.

Store it in a clean, dry and well-ventilated place.

Replace it according to the manufacturer's guidance or sooner if you notice damage, persistent odour or changes in texture.
