Thank you for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing with the suppositories. It’s important to ensure that the insertion process is as comfortable and effective as possible.
Here are some suggestions that may help:
- Temperature: Consider storing the suppositories in the refrigerator. This can help them remain firm, making insertion easier.
- Insertion Technique: When inserting the suppository, aim to place it as deeply as possible into the vaginal canal. Using your fingers can help guide it in. If you find it difficult, you might want to try applying a few drops of water to the tip of the suppository or at the opening to ease any dryness.

- Positioning: After insertion, it can be beneficial to lie down for a while. This allows the suppository to dissolve properly without the risk of it being expelled.
- Managing Leakage: If you experience leakage, using a pantiliner can provide protection and comfort. If you’re still having trouble, you might consider cutting the suppository into smaller pieces (1/2 or even 1/4) to see if that helps with retention.
I hope these tips help you find some relief and improve your experience with the suppositories. If you have any further questions or need additional support, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
