Do not use Instead if you are using an intrauterine device (IUD), as there is a risk of dislodging, displacing or removing the IUD by pulling on the IUD string when removing Instead. If you have ever had Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), do not use Instead or any other internally worn products.
Maximum wear time is twelve (12) hours. Instead must be changed after twelve (12) hours. Never reuse Instead, since doing so may expose you to the risk of vaginal infection. Immediately following childbirth, miscarriage, or termination of pregnancy, consult your physician before using Instead.
Instead is not a contraceptive and does not provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases. If you or your sexual partner develop burning, itching, pain or swelling in the genital area or discomfort with urination, discontinue using all internal protection and contact your physician. If you have problems removing Instead, call 1-800-Instead (467-8323) and a Registered Nurse (RN) can talk you through the process, or you can contact your physician.
