Imagine planning a day with your kids or grandkids and having a single, worry-free thought: ‘I can laugh, I can run, I can just enjoy this.’ For many women dealing with the frustrating symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse or stress incontinence, that simple joy feels out of reach. What if a small, discreet device could help bring that freedom back? This is where the GyneCube enters the picture—not as a complex medical procedure, but as a simple, patient-controlled tool for reclaiming your comfort and confidence. Let’s dive in.
Let’s clear away the medical mystery first. Think of the GyneCube not as a medical device, but as a perfectly engineered, internal support bra for your pelvic organs. It’s a modern cube-shaped pessary made from soft, hypoallergenic medical-grade silicone.
This design is a cornerstone of conservative management for conditions like pelvic organ prolapse, where organs like the bladder, uterus, or rectum slip down into the vaginal canal. The cube gently props everything back into a more natural position, relieving pressure and discomfort.
Furthermore, a key feature of some models is its unique two-in-one size. You can use it in its standard form or, by inverting it, access a slightly different size—allowing for a more customized fit from a single device.
Using the GyneCube is a skill you learn, much like inserting a menstrual cup or a contraceptive diaphragm. There’s a learning curve, but it quickly becomes a simple part of your self-care routine. You simply fold the cube, insert it into the vagina where it sits securely, and then use the attached retrieval cord for easy and safe removal.
Crucially, contrary to popular belief, a properly fitted GyneCube is designed for comfort and should not be felt when in place. When it’s in correctly, you shouldn’t be aware of it at all—you’ll just notice the welcome absence of your previous symptoms, like that nagging sense of pressure or the fear of a leak when you sneeze.
Facing a prolapse or incontinence diagnosis often feels like a choice between “do nothing” and “have major surgery.” The GyneCube offers a powerful middle path. Here’s a quick, clear-cut comparison to help you understand the difference.
| Feature | GyneCube (Conservative Management) | Surgery (e.g., Pelvic Reconstruction) |
|---|---|---|
| Invasiveness | Non-surgical, reversible | Invasive, permanent |
| Recovery Time | Minimal to none | Weeks to months |
| Goal | Symptom management and support | Anatomical correction |
| Flexibility | Can be removed for intimacy/exercise | Permanent change |
| Ideal Candidate | Women seeking a trial of care, pre-surgery, or those who cannot have surgery | Women for whom conservative options have failed or who desire a permanent fix |
Ultimately, this isn’t about one being better than the other. It’s about what’s right for you right now. Many women use the GyneCube for years to manage their symptoms successfully, while others see it as a valuable trial before committing to surgery.
This is the most important section for building trust. The GyneCube is not an over-the-counter, one-size-fits-all product. A proper clinical fitting and follow-up care are absolutely essential.
So, how do you know if it’s right for you? You start a conversation with a professional.
Consider “Maria,” a 58-year-old teacher. She was tired of avoiding her morning walks for fear of leaking. Her gynecologist fitted her for a GyneCube, and after a 2-week follow-up to check for comfort and effectiveness, she felt confident managing it on her own. This partnership with her doctor was the key to her success.
- Start the Conversation: Talk to your gynecologist or a pelvic health physiotherapist. Be direct and ask: “Am I a candidate for a conservative option like a silicone pessary?”
- Advocate for Yourself: Mention the GyneCube by name. A knowledgeable provider will be able to discuss its unique pros and cons for your specific anatomy.
- Give it Time: If you get one, remember to be patient. There’s an adjustment period. Importantly, attend all follow-up appointments to ensure the fit is perfect and your questions are answered.

Q: Can I have sexual intercourse with the GyneCube in place?
A: No, the GyneCube is designed to be removed before sexual intercourse. Its cube shape and firmness are not intended for use during sex.
Q: How often do I need to remove and clean the GyneCube?
A: This varies, but many clinicians advise removing, cleaning, and reinserting it every 4-7 days. Your healthcare provider will give you a personalized schedule based on your needs.
Q: Is the GyneCube comfortable to wear?
A: When fitted correctly by a professional, you should not be able to feel the GyneCube inside you. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and effectiveness.
Q: What happens if the retrieval cord breaks?
A: While the cord is designed to be strong, if you cannot remove it, you must contact your healthcare provider. They can remove it quickly and safely in their office—never try to remove a stuck pessary with force.
Q: Is the GyneCube a permanent cure for prolapse?
A: No, it is a management device. It supports the organs to relieve symptoms, but it does not cure the underlying prolapse. It’s a highly effective way to improve quality of life without surgery.
