The exact number of women affected by Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is not precisely known. However, studies on procedure codes suggest that approximately 200,000 surgeries to treat POP are performed annually in the United States. According to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), around 3.3 million women have experienced POP. With the aging population, this number is projected to rise to nearly 4.9 million by 2050.

Currently, the main alternative treatment for POP is the vaginal pessary, but only silicone-based options are widely available. Many women are either allergic to silicone or prefer not to use silicone-based pessaries.

My Spool Beeswax Pessary is made from 100% beeswax and is available in a variety of sizes, graduating in 1/8” increments to ensure a good fit. Since it is made from beeswax, users can make small modifications for a custom fit.

Unlike silicone pessaries, which cannot be modified by the user, the beeswax pessary offers this flexibility.

Benefits of Beeswax:

- Antioxidant Properties: Beeswax protects your body from free radicals, which can contribute to the formation of cholesterol plaque, raising the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

- Anti-Inflammatory: It helps support your body’s immune system in fighting infections.

- Antibacterial: Beeswax can kill or reduce pathogenic bacteria and toxins that contribute to disease.
