If you are struggling with incontinence, you may have started exploring options for treatment at home. Fortunately, there are many devices on the market that can help, but it may not be easy to decide to which one is right for you. Today we’re going to break down the similarities and differences of Elitone vs. Innovo to help you make an educated decision about the best device for incontinence treatment for you.
You’ve take the first step in improving your incontinence symptoms and stopping leaks – learning more about products that can help. Elitone and Innovo are both options that are effective at reducing leaks. They are both FDA-cleared devices for incontinence that are used externally to stimulate and tone your pelvic floor muscles. Incontinence is frequently caused by a weak pelvic floor, so by exercising these muscles regularly, you should see an improvement in symptoms and reduced leaking. Both treatments require less than 30 minutes of your day and stimulate your muscles using neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
While there are many similarities when comparing Elitone vs. Innovo, there are some differences you should consider as well.
The first is how the device is worn. Elitone is worn like a pad and simple to apply. This one size fits all device is discreetly placed directly beneath your pelvic floor, allowing you to easily continue about your day at home or work. The pad is activated with a small device that can be hidden on your waistband.
Innovo is built into bike shorts that you need to change into. This can make it challenging to use discreetly and may require more time to change in and out of. You’ll also need to make sure you order the correct size for a comfortable fit. As many women vary in size from their waist to their hips, they may find that the shorts are not an ideal fit in both areas. The electrical stimulations are activated by large controller that is worn around your neck and cannot be easily hidden. It’s also important that the shorts are washed between use, which may mean you need to purchase a second pair ($225) for daily use.
Elitone is designed with the busy woman in mind. You can easily carry about your daily tasks while using Elitone. Elitone allows you to remain clothed during use and carry about your daily activities.
With Innovo, you’ll need to dedicate time each day to setting up the device and remaining stationary throughout your treatment.
While both devices uses the similiar technology for electrical stimulation, it is targeted differently. The stimulation from Elitone is localized around where you need it: the urethra. The stimulation from Elitone is also capable of sending 1/3 of the signal to calm overactive bladder, so it is ideal for treating for mixed incontinence
When wearing the Innovo shorts, you receive stimulation through the thighs and buttocks, which does not directly target the pelvic floor muscles.
Incontinence is common in many postpartum women. With Elitone, you can begin treatment at 6 weeks postpartum. Innovo users need to wait 6 months before starting treatment.
At Elitone, we understand that knowing if a device is working for you takes time. That’s why we offer a 60 day guarantee.
