Abstract: The present invention relates to a vaginal pessary having a circumferentially closed base body which has two side wall sections, a front (anterior) wall section and a rear (posterior) wall section and wherein a central opening of the base body in a cross-sectional view transverse to the height of the base body is bounded by a closed, inner oval contour line of the wall sections. According to the invention, it is provided that the inner contour line of the wall sections is delimited by a central opening deviating from the circular shape or by an essentially trapezoidal opening with rounded edges. The special feature of these designs is that there are one or more indentations in the walls, whereby the walls adhere better to the vaginal wall and thus provide a more secure hold.
