Finding the right position for your Perifit Care(+) may take a little practice. Follow the instructions below for your device, and remember to take your time. Insertion should not be forced or cause severe pain.
If you have a Perifit Care
Lie down comfortably with your knees bent and your legs slightly apart.
Insert the probe so that both pebble-shaped sensors are inside the vagina, with the lower sensor sitting just inside the vaginal entrance. The lotus sign should be at the bottom, with the wire pointing upwards towards your belly.
Adjust the depth so that the narrowest part of the Perifit Care, just above the collar, is at the entrance of your vagina.
💡 You can use a drop of water-based lubricant if you experience discomfort during insertion.
💡 If your probe has the wire pointing in the opposite direction, you can invert the lotus and on/off positions. The most important thing is that both are aligned along the vertical axis.
If you have a Perifit Care+
We recommend training sitting upright on a firm chair.
Insert the probe so that both pebble-shaped sensors are inside the vagina, with the lower sensor sitting just inside the vaginal entrance. The tail should point towards your upper body.
We recommend using the blocker included with your Perifit Care+. It's completely optional but can be helpful in certain situations.
How to attach the blocker
Place the ring (blocker) on the tail with the lotus facing upwards, towards the end of the tail furthest from the Perifit Care+.
Push the silicone ring all the way onto the tail, sliding it as close as possible to the lower pebble-shaped sensor.
Check that the ring slot is fully inserted into the tail.
What if I'm having difficulty inserting my Perifit?
It's normal to need some time to get comfortable with inserting a new device. Here are a few things you can try:
Try lying down. This position may make insertion easier if you're having difficulty while standing or sitting.
Relax and breathe slowly. Take your time and allow yourself to relax. You can pause whenever needed.
Use a water-based lubricant. A drop of it may help reduce friction and make insertion more comfortable.
Never force the probe in. Insertion should not cause severe pain.
Everyone's anatomy is different, and certain pelvic health conditions, including pelvic organ prolapse, may affect insertion. If you experience pain, particularly severe or persistent pain, stop and consult a pelvic health physiotherapist or another qualified healthcare professional before trying again. They can help you find an approach suited to your individual needs.
