PessaryAssistant (U.S. Patent # D814,031)

This is the best invention ever.

i thought that it was expensive for what it was. I delayed buying it. Boy was I ever wrong! It is well worth it. I have long fingers and I still could not reach it and needed help to remove it. This is so wonderful. I can easily remove it without any trouble. The other end I still have problems with it and find it easier to p;ace it back without it. But all in all I would recommend it. It makes life so much easier.

Had hoped I’d be in the group that this tool worked for. I wasn’t. It hurt. A lot. It seems it could have been manufactured out of a softer more bendable plastic, or even silicone. Unfortunately in this case, what you see is what you get. It’s as tough as it looks in the photo. Very uncomfortable and ineffective, and probably dangerous considering where you’re putting it!

This is the best invention ever. I have arthritis in my hands so struggle to hold the Pessary folded but with this little piece of magic I was able to insert in seconds. I live in the uk and we don’t have anything like this so yes it was pretty expensive to get it here but I don’t care I am so happy with how easy it has made it for me.

I don't have a problem inserting my pessary but have a hard time getting it out. I have to use Estradiol vaginal cream which I get into my vagina via a small plunger. I think the plunger is pushing my pessary way up inside me even though I try to avoid hitting the pessary. I can touch the edge of the pessary with the tip of my finger but I can't reach the holes or even grasp the rim to pull it out. I only succeed in pushing the pessary further behind my pelvic bone. I had previously tried using a large crochet needle which didn't quite do the job as the handle wasn't long enough. Bought this pessary tool because the handle was longer and it was designed by a doctor. I think the pessary tool needs to be even longer, maybe 12 inches or so and the hook being slightly more open with a little less curve. With much effort, I can get this tool to hook the edge of the pessary to pull it down where I can grab the pessary with my fingers. Have a friend who told me she has to lie down on her bed to get the pessary in/out. I tried that and it seemed to help. When I was young and first married, I used a diaphragm for birth control and the tool for insertion and removal was about 12 inches long and it worked well. I wish I still had that tool cause I think it would work well with a pessary. You have to have a prescription for a diaphragm so I can't just buy the tool. I'm 68 years old.

Thank gawd someone thought to make this. It works as it should with no worries of any type of injury. The quality of the product is superior and easy to use.

I have searched and this is the ONLY pessary assist tool out there. It's large and it would be nice if they made a few sizes. All in all it will help with inserting the pessary. Good luck.

I received my Pessary Assistant eight days earlier than Amazon promised. I was relieved because I had so much trouble trying to grip the rim of my pessary to remove it on my own. My primary physician had to remove it for me back in December 2020. The specialist I saw never told me when she fitted me with the pessary that I might have difficulty removing it. When it started to irritate me, I searched the internet for a solution. I found Dr Christopher Radpour’s creation, the Pessary Assistant. I called Dr. Radpour’s office and left a message. He was kind enough to return my call that evening and answer all of my questions. I ordered the pessary remover that night. When I received it, I was able to remove my pessary on the second attempt. Thank you Dr. Radpour for your practical, clever and helpful invention. If you’re struggling to remove your pessary, I highly recommend Dr. Radpour’s Pessary Assistant. It really works!
