Ordering Two Sizes of a Ring Pessary Without Support: How to Pick the Right Pair

The best pair of sizes to order is the size your doctor or nurse thinks fits you now, plus the size right next to it. Our Pessary Fitting Combo gives you two ring pessaries without support in two sizes side by side, such as 3 and 4, so you have a second choice on hand if the first one is not quite right.

This short guide explains how to work out which pair makes sense for you, what to ask your clinician, and what to expect once your package arrives. It is here to help you understand your options. It does not replace advice from your own doctor, nurse or pelvic health therapist, who should always guide your sizing and care.

Why order two sizes at once?

Pessary sizing is not always exact. Your body can change over time, and a size that felt good a year ago may not feel the same today. Many women find they are "in between" two sizes. Having both on hand can save you a second order and a second wait.

Here are some common reasons women choose a two-size pack:

• You are between two sizes. Your clinician may say, "You could be a 4 or a 5."
• Your body has changed. Weight change, pelvic floor therapy or surgery can all change what fits well.
• You are being fitted by video or phone. With telemedicine visits, it can help to have two sizes ready to try with your clinician's guidance.
• You want a spare. Some women like keeping a nearby size in reserve.

Buying the pair also costs less. Two single pessaries without support cost $49.99 each, or $99.98 together. The combo pack is $89.99, which saves you $9.99.

Which pairs are available?

Each pack holds two sizes that sit right next to each other. You can choose from these pairs:

Pair	Who might choose it
2 + 3	Your clinician suggested size 2 or 3
3 + 4	Your clinician suggested size 3 or 4
4 + 5	Your clinician suggested size 4 or 5
5 + 6	Your clinician suggested size 5 or 6
6 + 7	Your clinician suggested size 6 or 7
7 + 8	Your clinician suggested size 7 or 8
8 + 9	Your clinician suggested size 8 or 9

The pack always contains two sizes in a row. If you need sizes that are further apart, you can order single pessaries instead.

How to pick your pair: three simple steps

Step 1: Start with the size you know

Look at your last pessary, your paperwork, or your clinic notes. The size number is often listed there. If you are not sure, call your doctor's office and ask, "What size ring pessary without support am I wearing?" This is the most important piece of information.

Step 2: Ask which way to go

Next, ask your clinician whether the size next to yours should be one size up or one size down. For example, if you wear a size 4, you could order the 3 + 4 pair or the 4 + 5 pair. Your clinician knows your body and your history, so let them guide this choice.

Step 3: Think about recent changes

Tell your clinician about anything that has changed since your last fitting: weight change, surgery, pelvic floor therapy, or a pessary that now feels different. These details help them suggest the right pair.

If you have never been fitted before, please see a clinician first. A first fitting is best done in person, so your doctor or nurse can check which type and size of pessary suits you.

Is a ring without support right for you?

A ring pessary without support is an open ring. A ring with support has a thin layer across the middle. Your clinician will recommend the type that best fits your needs. If you would like to learn more about the open-ring style, our article What Is a Ring Pessary Without Support? explains it in plain language. If your clinician suggests the version with support, see our guide to the ring pessary with support. We also carry a combo pack with support.

One thing many women ask about: for most women, the open-ring design can be worn during intercourse. Check with your clinician about what is right for you.

What arrives in your package

• Two ring pessaries without support, in two sizes side by side
• Both are brand new, factory-sealed and in their own pouches
• Made from medical-grade USP Class VI silicone
• Ships from San Jose, California

These pessaries are FDA 510(k) cleared as a Class II medical device. They are also HSA/FSA eligible (HCPCS code A4562), so you can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

After your pessaries arrive

• Keep the second one sealed until you need it. Leave it in its pouch until you and your clinician decide to try it.
• Follow your clinician's instructions. Your doctor or nurse will explain how to insert, remove and clean your pessary, and how often to come back for check-ups. Always follow their advice and the instructions that come with the product.
• Pay attention to how it feels. A pessary that fits well should usually feel comfortable. If you notice pain, discomfort, bleeding, unusual discharge, trouble passing urine or stool, or if the pessary slips out, contact your clinician.
• Store it clean and dry. If you take your pessary out between wears, keep it in a clean, dry place. Many women use a storage case for this. We offer one, and it can be added to your order.
