No harm may come from wearing the pessary for a day or two, but it is highly desirable as a matter of cleanliness and otherwise to remove the pessary in the morning when performing the sexual toilet. The pessary should, of course, never be worn during the menstrual period.
The bride, who was greatly distressed, produced the pessary which she had purchased, and said she could not possibly use it; her fiancé, however, had been advised that she could, and ought to do so, hence the first serious dispute had arisen between them, clouding the future.

Gerould of Massilon, Ohio, reports a case in which a pessary had been worn by a German woman of eighty-four for more than fifty years.

A good rubber pessary should last from three to four months, and it should be tested occasionally by filling it with water to see that there is no hole in it.

The inflated pessary would be the most perfect, however, if you could only contrive some method to prevent escape of air and consequent flattening. There are two ovaries and two Fallopian tubes, one on each side of the uterus.
But the arrangement of a runaway for outflowing lotion is inconvenient in most households. Quinine Pessaries, etc. By themselves these are unreliable, no matter what the makers claim on the label. There is usually not enough quinine in them; or if there is enough, it proves irritating. Solid-Ring Check Pessary.
Insert soluble suppository, and then place rubber pessary in position, concave side downwards. This will slip up more easily if slightly soaped.

This method is commonly used by Continental women, but it is not entirely reliable by itself. Gold Spring Check Pessary. This is an instrument, the arms of which spread out inside the womb, and the gold spring keeps the mouth of the womb open, thus facilitating infection and conception.
