A method for reducing urinary incontinence in a female. The method includes inserting into the female's vagina a first non-expandable intravaginal pessary device, the pessary device having a top, a base, a length, a longitudinal axis, a maximum diameter, and a minimum diameter that is less than the maximum diameter. The pessary device has a pressure region adapted to extend between an anterior vaginal wall and a posterior vaginal wall of a user to provide pressure on the user's urethra through the vaginal wall, and the pressure region comprising the maximum diameter, wherein the maximum diameter is less than 25 mm. The pessary device is retained within the vagina of the female for about 8 to about 12 hours, and removed and disposed. A second non-expandable intravaginal pessary device is then inserted into the female's vagina.
