How Do I Use My Coo-Wee?
The Low Down
- So, you found us, you're intrigued by our Urinary Incontinence products, but a big question lingers - how do you use them?!
Before we start, we want to thank you for exploring and participating in the the conversation around bladder leaks - and for moving away from the outdated, bulky and unsustainable incontinence pads and undies.
Now - it's time to get into the nitty-gritty of Coo-Wee. So keep an open mind, uncross your legs, and get ready!
Inserting Your Coo-Wee
- STEP 1. Wash your hands: Always wash them and your Coo-Wee before anything.
STEP 2. Get comfy:
Find a position that's comfortable and relaxing for you. Most women find squatting as if you were inserting a tampon a good start!
Like anything new, the more you relax and practice, the easier it'll become.
STEP 3. Fold your Coo-Wee:
You will need to fold your Coo-Wee into a ‘U’ shape. Firmly hold the sides of your Coo-Wee with the locating tip facing down.
With the round end facing towards your pubic bone, insert the Coo-Wee into your vagina. Do not aim straight up, aim back and towards your tailbone as you would with a tampon.
STEP 4. Insert your Coo-Wee and leave it where it's comfortable:
This will be different for all women, however as a guide, you should not feel your Coo-Wee once placed. If you can feel the locating tip in your vaginal opening, it is not inserted far enough. Finding the right position may take a little getting used to, but as they say, practice makes perfect!
STEP 5. Make sure it has opened:
Proper insertion is important. Make sure Coo-Wee opens fully after finding your comfy spot. To be sure it has opened correctly, simply give your Coo-Wee a small rotation.
You can also squeeze the pressure rings (not the locating tip) and pull-down slightly to create the seal. You may feel a small ‘POP’ when Coo-Wee opens. This is confirmation that it has opened fully. Great job!
You're now ready to live leak-free for up to 12-hours and get back to doing all the things you've been missing out on.
Removing Your Coo-Wee
- STEP 1. Relax:
This step is as important during removal as when you insert your Coo-Wee.
STEP 2. Get a grip:
Use the locating tip to get a grip on your Coo-Wee.
Now bear in mind that your Coo-Wee may have travelled a little north during the day, but don’t worry, you’ve got this!
A squatting position will also assist to bring Coo-Wee to you.
STEP 3. Exit strategy:
Hold the locating tip with your thumb and second finger.
With your index finger extended to be level with the rings, press inward on Coo-Wee to deform the shape, break the seal and remove slowly.
STEP 4: Wash your Coo-Wee:
Once it's out, be sure to wash your Coo-Wee with warm water and then its ready to use again the next day.
You can use a single Coo-Wee for up to one year, meaning you are saving money and the environment by switching to a more sustainable option than incontinence pads and undies. A win-win for you and the planet!
