Contrelle – The Comfortable Support for Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence

Contrelle® Activgard is a clinically tested bladder support device designed to help women manage stress urinary incontinence in a simple, comfortable, and non-invasive way. Instead of absorbing urine leakage like pads or protective underwear, Contrelle works by supporting the bladder and urethra from within, helping prevent leakage at its source.

In this category at PelviCare, you will find Contrelle Starter Kits and refill packs in all available sizes, along with guidance for selecting the best fit. Contrelle is designed to help women move freely, exercise confidently, and return to the activities they love — without fear of leakage.

   

Supporting Your Confidence, Comfort, and Lifestyle

Stress urinary incontinence affects millions of women — but it is rarely talked about. It occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues become weakened or overstretched, reducing their ability to support the bladder and urethra, especially during movements that increase abdominal pressure.

This can result in leakage during:

• Laughing and coughing

• Sneezing

• Running or jumping

• Lifting objects

• Yoga, Pilates, or strength training

• Everyday movements

Contrelle offers a non-surgical, comfortable, and discreet solution for these situations.

  

What is Contrelle Activgard?

Contrelle is a soft, flexible bladder support device inserted into the vagina. Once in place, it gently lifts and supports the urethra and bladder neck, helping prevent leakage when pressure increases — such as during exercise or physical activity.

 

How does Contrelle work?

After insertion, Contrelle sits comfortably within the vaginal canal, where it supports the bladder outlet from below. This additional support improves the natural sealing of the urethra during movement.

The result:

• Reduced or eliminated urine leakage

• Greater security and comfort during activity

• Improved quality of life and confidence

Most women report that once properly fitted, Contrelle feels natural and unnoticeable throughout the day.

  

Who is Contrelle for?

Contrelle is ideal for women experiencing:

• Stress urinary incontinence (SUI)

• Leakage when exercising, coughing, or laughing

• Pelvic floor weakness after childbirth

• Reduced bladder support during menopause

• Occasional or daily leakage related to physical activity

Particularly helpful for:

• Postpartum women (after recovery clearance)

• Women returning to sport after birth

• Women in perimenopause / menopause

• Active women who want to continue exercising without leakage

• Anyone looking for a non-surgical alternative to pessaries or slings

 

Why Choose Contrelle Over Pads or Absorbent Products?

Unlike pads or liners, which simply absorb leakage, Contrelle works by supporting the internal structures that prevent leakage in the first place.

Benefits of Contrelle:

• Non-invasive and comfortable

• Drug-free and hormone-free

• Helps prevent leakage rather than just absorb it

• Can be worn during sports and physical exercise

• Allows natural urination with Contrelle in place

• Discreet and invisible during daily activities

• A reusable daily solution with replaceable packs

For many women, Contrelle offers a sense of control and normalcy that pads do not.

  

Finding the right size: The Contrelle Starter Kit

Because every woman’s anatomy is unique, Contrelle comes in multiple sizes. The best way to determine your ideal fit is to begin with the Contrelle Activation Starter Kit, which includes several sizes.

Why proper sizing matters:

• Ensures stable and reliable bladder support

• Maximizes comfort for all-day wear

• Helps achieve best leakage reduction results

Once the correct size is identified, refill packs can be ordered in that size for ongoing use.

  

How to use Contrelle

Insertion:

1. Moisten the device with clean water.

2. Fold gently for insertion.

3. Insert similarly to a tampon, adjusting to comfort.

Wearing:

• Can be worn throughout regular daily activities.

• Suitable during sports, exercise, and active movement.

• Does not interfere with bladder emptying — urinate normally.

Removal:

• Remove using the retrieval loop and discard.

• Contrelle is single-use for hygiene and safety.

Most women report that insertion becomes easy after the first few uses — and comfort improves quickly with familiarity.

 

Contrelle and Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Contrelle can be used alongside pelvic floor muscle training, including physiotherapy or home Kegel programs.

Combined benefits:

• Supports function externally while muscles strengthen internally

• Reduces fear of leakage during exercise

• Encourages return to active pelvic rehabilitation

• Helps restore confidence in movement and body awareness

This makes Contrelle a valuable tool in pelvic health recovery journeys.

 

Urinary leakage should not limit your movement, laughter, strength, or joy. Contrelle provides a gentle, effective, and discreet support that lets you return to the activities and moments that matter most — with freedom and confidence.
