"Works amazingly at keeping thrush at bay and delivering oestrogen to the vagina. Inserting is a breeze. However, removing it is a chore. I wish there was a string attached like a tampon to remove it easier"

"I’m having significant incontinence since I started using Estring 2 months ago. Especially, when bending and picking up grand baby. I took it out twice (not easy) and the incontinence decreased considerably. I don’t know if the position it lands in is causing pressure on my bladder."

"I used the estring vaginal ring for vaginal atrophy for a month and a half. Within the first two weeks, the atrophy had been dealt with and I was quite comfortable. However, a week after inserting the ring, I had sudden onset joint pain that was some of the worst pain I ever experienced in my life, I was living at a 10 on the pain scale every single day. The ring also caused an increase in insomnia and depression. I ended up removing it due to excessively heavy bleeding. It's been only a few days since I removed the ring and pain is gone, I can sleep again and bleeding has stopped. This ring was like poison for my body, idk what is in it but it's terrible. I would not recommend to anyone. I have used other rings in the past which is why I wanted to try it but I regret this one so much."

"I couldn't use it. The thing is HUGE and wouldn't "fit." It was very uncomfortable. I even had my health professional attempt to position it and she couldn't either."

"Having a miserable time getting the ring placed correctly. Hoping that I can work through this issue because I'm not getting much relief from the creams. Also, with coupon it cost $400."

"I had a hysterectomy @ 22 so my Dr. prescribed this over a year ago. I'm not as dry but still pain from the thinning of the walls. Hopefully after a longer time this will get better."

"I'm 54 years old and have noticed that the Estring's effectiveness has plummeted in the last year. Used to work like magic, now sex is so painful I cry. Deal breaker when they're $400!"

"On this for Menopause induced urge incontinence and dryness. Awful!! Did absolutely nothing for me and was very hard to remove."

"Definitely helped with the constant dryness & discomfort. Only thing is I have slight shortness of breath and tightness in chest. Can't think of what else it could be as I take no other meds. Can not reach it to remove, have to go to obgyn to have it removed."
