Where can I buy disposable applicators for Ovestin?

The reusable one has so many ridges and corners and with my shit presbyopic eyes I'm not confident that I'm cleaning all the white cream off all the white nooks and crannies. I really don't want to give my ageing fanny a dose of BV on top of all the other peri indignities she has to face so could do with disposable applicators. Where can you buy these please?

. . . and it's not a few hours is it? My instructions say once per week.

It's rank! And if you do it at bedtime where do you put it down? I'm going to try fingers, great idea

well, you could wrap it in a tissue?

I take mine to the bathroom and wash it there.

Fingers may not work. The cream won't stay on the tip of your finger. It will just spread down your finger before it goes where it should (IME)!

I initially used mine twice a week, I used to put the applicator back in the box.

Honestly how many germs would it get in a box in my bedside drawer?

Scorching hot water dissolves the cream quickly. My tap runs really hot if I let it flow for a while. If yours doesn't, you could try heating water in the kettle (not to boiling!) Or, meh, don't worry too much. As PPs have said, it's only the outside that's been in contact with your body.

Well yeah I guess why wash anything? You can just wear the same pair of knickers forever.

If I wore them for one second at a time, I certainly wouldn’t wash every wear 🤣

I’ve just ordered Ovestin online. Am a little dry after meno(2yrs in) but started getting BV for the first time and it’s so annoying. Probiotic gels clear it up but then it starts again. Have read that ph after meno can make this more likely. Looking forward to the benefits.
