How long does it take for Vagifem to dissolve?
It takes several hours for a Vagifem insert to fully dissolve, sometimes over 24 hours, and you may find that when you insert a Vagifem the next day, the applicator comes out covered with a sticky gluey substance – this is the previous days dissolving insert which you have touched with the applicator.
This is perfectly normal and Vagifem has been designed to release slowly.
