      FAQs

      How do my patients give their script to Intimate Rose?

      We've added the ability to upload a script as part of the purchase process. Visitors on www.intimaterose.com can choose the Prescription Upload link directly below the Add To Cart button on dilator product pages. Visitors can upload their script via mobile or desktop. Any file version will do. Alternatively, visitors can also email a copy of their script to support@intimaterose.com.

      What is the longer term plan?

      We are actively working on a better experience for customers and clinicians to make the vaginal dilator purchase process as seamless as possible. We will share updates as this solution becomes available.

      What can I do as a healthcare provider?

      Healthcare providers can help their patients with this process in a few ways. If you can write a script, you can provide one to support@intimaterose.com referencing your patient or have your patients upload / email it to us. State laws vary on who can or can't write a prescription. If you can not write a script, you can call your patient's PCP and ask them if they'd help.

      Where can I find official FDA documentation?

      Here is a link to the FDA document on Vaginal Dilators: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpcd/classification.cfm?id=HDX.

      This link shows that Vaginal Dilators are considered a class 2 medical device that require 510(k) documentation to be compliant with the FDA.

      Does this have something to do with Insurance or FSA?

      No, this is completely independent of any insurance or FSA compliance, and that isn't a cause or effect of this.
