FeaturesThe Femmeze® Vaginal Trainer is a single user medical device for women who suffer from pelvic organ prolapses (Rectoceles). Was prescribed one of these by the hospital 3 years ago. Wanted a second one to keep in my bag for convenience. I can sincerely recommend this product as an alternative to mesh surgery. It is easy and comfortable to use. Using Femmeze® to support your prolapse when on the toilet should be considered as only part of your management strategy for your rectocele. Good bowel habits are also essential as is your posture on the loo and the way you push to empty. An excellent resource for bowel management, function and pelvic floor health is the book Good Bowel Habit by Gastroenterologist Dr Robyn Nagel and Physiotherapist Shirley Owen.

Suffered since I was a child.
