FAQ

Cntrl+ is a flexible urethral control device that is shaped like a hollow tampon. It is the only self-fitted, self-inserted, and flexible device which helps keep the urethra closed when coughing, sneezing, laughing, and exercising without obstructing the ability to urinate.

Cntrl+ is made of FDA approved medical grade Santoprene, a latex-free man-made rubber. Santoprene cannot absorb water/fluids which means that it cannot support microbial growth or increase the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome. Because this material becomes slippery when wet, Cntrl+ is easy to insert. 

The device’s removal string is made of FDA approved medical grade silicone.

Any woman over the age of 18 suffering from bladder leaks!

Cntrl+ is a safe non-surgical solution for those waiting for surgery, wanting more children, 6 weeks post-childbirth, and/or those working with a Pelvic Floor Therapist. Cntrl+ likely will not be successful for women suffering from moderate to severe prolapse because the device can be pushed out of position. As a rule of thumb, if you can retain a tampon or menstrual cup, you can use Cntrl+.

Cntrl+ is folded and inserted into the vagina with the narrow tip towards the cervix and the flat side resting against the back of the vaginal wall. The round hollow part rests against the urethra.

If vaginal dryness makes it difficult to insert Cntrl+, a dime-sized amount of water-based lubricant can be used on the tip of the device as well as the vaginal opening to assist insertion. 

The device is soft, flexible and sits comfortably inside the vagina where it supports the urethra. The silicone removal string makes removal easy; simply pull the removal string and the device will re-fold and slide through to the vaginal opening where you can use your index finger to pull it out.

The Cntrl+ Starter Kit includes the device in all three sizes, a silicone removal string, and a travel bag. We suggest trying all three sizes in order to determine the right size for your body. Start with the smallest size; if it feels too loose and/or you are still experiencing leakage, continue to go up a size until your Cntrl+ is both comfortable and prevents leakage. Once fitted to the correct size, simply purchase the Single Size Replacement kit in future.
