vaginal pessaries
Pessaries are solid, bullet-shaped preparations designed for easy insertion into the vagina. They can be inserted using your fingers, or may come with an applicator. Pessaries are normally made of a solid vegetable oil that contains the medicine. The medicine is gradually released into the vagina as the pessary dissolves at body temperature

"A **vaginal pessary** is a removable device placed into the vagina. It is designed to support areas of pelvic organ prolapse.
There are a variety of pessaries available, made of rubber, plastic, or silicone-based material."

The above could lead to confusion among users. There are a lot of significant hits from Google leading in this direction...
