I can't reach far enough to remove my estring - I can barely touch it but not hook on to remove - any suggestions?

My Gynecologist prescribed Estring due to my prolapse. I used the Estring on Nov 17th and on Dec 6th after almost 3 weeks, I removed it because of breast pain. Today is Dec 23rd. Can I use it again after 2 weeks? Is the Estring still effective?

I had the same problem when I went to remove my estring. I tried several times and felt like I couldnt reach it. I tried again the next morning. Still would not come out. I was getting quite nervous and scared that I was going to have to go see my doctor. Finally, the next evening while in the shower, I squatted & beared down (while holding onto a safety bar) and I was able to pull it right out! I was so relieved!!! I really liked the results of the estring so, I'm happy that I was able to finally remove it. Now, I can feel secure putting in a new one because I know the trick to getting it out! Yay!

I put in a good amount of lubricant and went to bed. When I got up in the morning I was able to reach it and it came out very easily.

I also have this problem. Have you found a solution besides going to the doctor? I was thinking of tying a string on it like a tampon, but not sure if that may cause an infection over the 90 days

Dear Women....you have all saved my life....I usually have to struggle to get it out, my fingers cannot reach it enough to hook it, so I have to wiggle it out...but this time after about an hour I just could not get a finger around it and it wasn't moving....I was close to panic...so I read all these comments....I put in some lubricant, squatted down - and presto!!!!! Thank you all so much!!!

Putting in lubricant and squatting down works really well!
