Suppository Applicator
If your doctor has prescribed suppositories, it might be worth your while to invest in a suppository applicator. Shop for suppository applicators online through CVS, where you'll find a wide selection.
Best Practices for Using a Suppository Applicator
When using a suppository applicator for the first time, it's helpful to give yourself the privacy and time enough to relax before inserting the medication. Find a comfortable position, such as sitting on the edge of the bed or lying flat on your back. Ask your doctor for tips if you're having difficulty inserting an applicator or if you're concerned about proper placement. Most applicators are compatible with water-based personal lubricant, which may help with insertion. If you're concerned about hygiene, you can wear hypoallergenic gloves, or keep hand sanitizer or antibacterial soap nearby for handwashing when you're done.
Why Do You Need a Suppository Applicator?
Sometimes your doctor might recommend boric acid for a vaginitis, estrogen suppositories to manage the symptoms of menopause, or another treatment that requires vaginal application to be effective. If you don't have experience with suppositories, it can be tricky to properly insert the pills in a way that ensures they deliver the necessary dose without slipping out of place.
You can use a suppository applicator to safely insert the medicated tablets with less effort and discomfort than manually, and you're likely to get close to the right placement on the first try. Applicators are also generally more hygienic and convenient than manual insertion, and they can be especially helpful for young women and seniors or for women with a disability.
Which Is Better, Disposable or Reusable Suppository Applicators?
There's no consensus over whether disposable or reusable suppository applicators are better in an absolute sense, and most of the debate comes down to individual women's preferences. Disposable applicators, such as The Helper brand by Loyal, come in packs of 15 applicators and work with most suppository pills. This is a popular choice for many women because the disposable applicators are single-use only and can be discarded after use instead of washed and kept for later use.
Reusable suppository applicators, such as The Eraser by Queen V, are often included in a pack of the medication they're intended for and may be used for a limited time before disposing of them. The advantages of this approach are that only a single unit has to be kept, instead of a dozen or more in their own packaging, and the reusable applicator generates less post-consumer waste. In the end, it may be a good idea to experiment with different products to find the suppository applicator that works best for your body.
