Within 1 hour before having penis-in-vagina sex grab your single-use vaginal gel applicator (also known as Phexxi). Wash your hands with soap and water. Remove the plunger rod and applicator from its foil pouch.
Insert the plunger into the applicator by gently pushing until you feel the plunger rod connect to the inside of the applicator. Make sure not to push too hard so the gel stays in the syringe and does not go into the pink cap.
Remove the pink cap. The extra space between the gel and applicator is normal.
Lay down, squat, or stand. Hold the applicator at the grooved area closest to the plunger rod. Gently insert the applicator as far as it will go into your vagina (similar to how you insert a tampon).
Once inserted, use your index finger to push the plunger into the syringe until it stops. It’s normal for a small amount of gel to remain in the applicator.
The gel is made to stay in place in your vagina so it won’t fall out during sex. Once you’ve removed the applicator, re-cap the applicator and throw it away in a trash can.
