Peristeen anal plugs - Coloplast

[janfarrugia]

I am pretty dependent on these for day to day living if I don’t want to stay indoors all the time. Is anyone else being told by their pharmacist that they are in short supply/ having difficulty getting them from the suppliers - they are made in Denmark? The last ones I got were back in June. I had difficulty in April as well. I am now practically out of them.

Hi Janfarrugia

I use ones called Renew, not certain where they are made, possibly Ireland and somewhere in Europe, but distributed from London. They come in two different sizes. I don't find them very easy to insert, but that may be my body rather than the product, so worth a try. They're available on prescription.

I was shown some other ones which im afraid i don't have the name of. They looked like a lollipop on a stick and the foam top opens out to form a little umbrella shape once inserted. Ive npot tried them, but i did wonder how easy or otherwise they would be to remove.

Good luck!

thank you. I will ask my GP to prescribe them instead. Fingers crossed she will

I have never heard of this therapy or treatment, can you give me information on the anal plugs?
