Hi Ewoniuij26,

I think they normally recommend you lay down for 20-30 minutes if you use it vaginally. I would highly recommend using it rectally instead, you don’t have to lay down, it’s not messy and you don’t get any irritation x

Would second KiboXX and def recommend rectally, less mess, and so you know more is getting absorbed too!

I put mine in rectally much better

I was advised by my doc to use vaginally, he didnt say why, after a few weeks I got DC and started using the back.....best thing I ever did. Zero mess. But it did mess my bowels up a bit. It's a small price to pay to not have a cyclogest time bomb xx
