For all pill types
If you've been prescribed a progesterone pessary, you might have noticed the box doesn't always come with a way to actually insert it. Medications like Utrogestan, Cyclogest and Prometrium are commonly used vaginally, especially as part of fertility treatment, but you're often left to place them by hand, which can feel messy, imprecise and a bit uncomfortable. These applicators were made to fix exactly that.
Meet our suppository and progesterone applicators, a simple, hygienic way to place a pessary, capsule or suppository where it needs to go. You pop your pessary into the tip, insert gently, and press the plunger, no fuss and far cleaner than using your fingers. Each one is individually wrapped and single-use, so every application starts fresh.
They come in two types so you can pick what suits you. Type A is the sturdier choice, with a thicker wall and a rounded tip that fits most standard pessaries and capsules, a reliable match for many progesterone pessaries as well as antifungals, boric acid and probiotics. Type B is slimmer and lighter, ideal for smaller capsules. Both come ten to a pack at the same price, so it's easy to keep a supply on hand.
It's a small thing, but when you're already navigating treatment, the last thing you need is your medication feeling harder than it should. These just make that one part simple.

About both applicators
Will these fit my progesterone pessary?
They're designed to fit most standard pessaries, suppositories and capsules. Type A suits standard sizes around 10.9mm across, which covers many progesterone pessaries such as Utrogestan, Cyclogest and Prometrium, while Type B is better for smaller capsules. If you're unsure, it's worth checking your pessary's size against the applicator before your first use.
Which type should I choose, A or B?
Type A is sturdier, with a thicker wall and rounded tip, and fits most standard pessaries and capsules. Type B is slimmer, lighter and more travel-friendly, and suits smaller capsules. If you're using a standard progesterone pessary, Type A is usually the safer pick.
Why would I need an applicator if my medication didn't come with one?
Many vaginally-used medications, progesterone pessaries included, are sold without an applicator, leaving you to insert them by hand. An applicator makes placement cleaner, more comfortable and more precise, which a lot of people much prefer.
Are they reusable?
No, these are single-use and individually wrapped for hygiene. Use a fresh one each time and dispose of it afterwards. If you specifically want a reusable applicator, these aren't that, they're designed for clean single use.
Can I use them for things other than progesterone?
Yes. They work with most standard pessaries, suppositories and capsules, including antifungals, boric acid suppositories and probiotic capsules. They're just a delivery tool, so they don't contain any medication themselves.
