Peer Review
Do the group’s edits substantially improve the article as described in the Wikipedia peer review “Guiding framework”?

Yes, the information the group has added has significantly improved the article, comparing it to what it used to look like. I think more citations could be added since I think the training said they recommend a citation every 2-3 sentences, but other than that the article looks good!

Has the group achieved its overall goals for improvement?

For the most part, yes. Premature and delayed pubarche and their treatments have a substantial amount of information in their section. Male and female pubarche are also detailed, and the wording is more inclusive, however I don't see the statement about the lack of secondary sources. Not sure if it's because secondary sources were found or the team is still working on the article.

Are the edits formatted consistent with Wikipedia’s manual of style? (explain)

Yes, overarching headings with relevant subheadings are added for premature, delayed, and average age. However, there were some citations not placed at the end of the sentence after the final punctuation mark.

Products
Plugs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. Polyurethane plugs have been found to be preferred over polyvinyl-alcohol plugs, and are also associated with less plug loss.

Peristeen Anal Plug
The Peristeen (formerly Conveen) Anal Plug produced by Coloplast is a disposable polyurethane insert coated in a water-soluble film. When exposed to warmth and moisture in the anal canal, the film dissolves, allowing for the plug to expand. It comes in two sizes, and is inserted similarly to a suppository. This plug may remain inside the rectum for up to 12 hours.

A-tam Anal Tampon
The polyvinyl-alcohol anal tampons A-tam produced by Med SSE-System in Germany are similarly made of foam and come in various sizes and shapes including cone, cylindrical, spiral, concave, convex, and ball-headed. The different shapes add additional functionality, based on anal sphincter muscle function, remaining muscle tissue, and gassiness. A starter assortment of individually packaged plugs is initially sent so the best shape and size can be chosen. The plug is soaked in warm water before insertion, and while the plugs are single-use, the applicator may be used multiple times. Changing out the plug three times a day every 6-8 hours and anal hygiene are also recommended, per their product catalog.

Renew Insert
Renew Inserts from Renew Medical are single-use silicone plugs that come in two sizes. Each plug is made of two attached disks and comes connected to a fingertip applicator which is disposed after insertion. It can be removed either by pulling it out or through defecation, removing the concern of losing the plug in the anal canal.

ProCon2
The ProCon2 device by Incontinent Control Devices, Inc is composed of a blow-up balloon cuff attached to the end of a silicon catheter with vent holes at the tip for flatulence to escape. The catheter is inserted into the anal canal and the balloon cuff is inflated with air through a syringe attached to the exposed portion of the catheter. Once inflated, the exposed end of the catheter is pulled until the balloon cuff is met with resistance within the anus. An infrared photo-interruptor sensor in the catheter senses stool in the anal canal, sending a notification to a pager. To remove the device, the catheter is cut to allow the balloon to deflate before pulling it out. Each device is made for single-use.
