I paid a lot of money to find out that a pessary is just a thick, rubber diaphragm with holes in it. If you've ever had a diaphragm, you'll probably need the same size pessary. I did. You can buy different kinds of pessaries online and put one in and take it out yourself. Nurses can do it, too, not just doctors. There's a blog on this site that gives info on types of pessaries and another one with suggestions on insertion and removal. With some research, you can probably get a pessary. Tampons probably aren't a good idea. Good luck! I know that even a "mild" cystocele can be a real pain!
