3. How do I know when the Renew Insert is properly in place?
When the Renew Insert is properly in place, the top disk is resting just inside the rectum and the bottom disk is just outside the anus. You should not feel any discomfort.
4. How long can I wear a Renew Insert?
Renew Inserts may be worn continuously, day and night. A single Renew Insert can be worn until your next bowel movement, or changed as desired. After one is expelled, you may replace it with a new Insert. Never use more than one insert at a time.
5. What are some ways to easily place the Renew Insert?
You may want to sit on the toilet and insert from the front or back, or lie down on a bed. You should use whichever insertion position is most comfortable for you. Avoid multiple insertion attempts to limit the exposure of stool to other parts of the body; use a new Insert if this happens.
6. Can a Renew Insert get lost inside my body?
No. Clinical research has shown that Renew Inserts come out with a person’s next bowel movement*. The Renew Insert is designed so the top and bottom disks hold it in place in the anal canal between the rectum and anus. In the unlikely event a Renew Insert moves into the anus, it will be naturally expelled with your next bowel movement.
7. What if the Renew Insert comes out when I go to the toilet and pass wind (gas) or urinate?
If this happens, simply replace it with a new Renew Insert. If you are using a Regular size Renew Insert and this happens frequently, you may want to try the Large size Renew Insert.
8. Will I be able to pass wind (gas) with the Renew Insert in place?
Yes. The Renew Insert still allows for the passage of wind (gas). If you are using a Large size Renew Insert and feel discomfort from wind (gas), try a Regular size Renew Insert.

Yes. You can do all of your activities while using a Renew Insert.
