It is a small, soft device typically made of a biocompatible synthetic materials (e.g., low density polyehtylene) and is normally available [non-prescription] over-the-counter (OTC). It is typically removed from the vagina by pulling on a protruding stem or by insertion of a finger to catch its rim; depending upon design, it may or may not touch the cervix. The device can function as an alternative to tampons and may remain in situ during sexual intercourse. This is a single-use device.
