"Used for urethritis (urgency and incontinence) and vaginal dryness. I felt it for the first day or two, but after that, I am not aware it is there. Two weeks before the 90 days are up, I start getting the urgency and getting a little dry and depressed, so I change it before the 90 days are up. It's $100 each ring in Canada, and I get 50% back with insurance. The awful experience of urgency and cost of incontinence products, I would pay double this."

"I have no idea how it works because I simply can’t insert it. At first, I thought my vaginal area was too dry, so I added a bit of KY jelly, trying to not get any on the ring, which would make it slippery. Even so, I cannot get the ring in no matter how much I compress it. I’m not thrilled with the idea of having to go to my OB/GYN for insertion, but I don’t have a choice. Very frustrated."

"I gave up on Estring after 90 days. It didn't help with urethra pain, hot flashes returned while using it, and now I am afraid I won't be able to remove it. The cheerful instructional video on how to remove it by Pfizer is not reassuring. I also had to add a Dotti patch in addition to the Estring to combat hot flashes. It was an expensive and unpleasant trial for me."

"I used this for vaginal and urethral atrophy. It worked great, and I would still be using it, but my job changed insurance, and it's not covered. There is a coupon to reduce co-pay to $15.00."

"I tried it for post-menopausal incontinence and vaginal odor. I loved the delivery system (insert it and forget it), but it didn't work for me."
