How Can A Kegel Trainer Improve a Weak Pelvic Floor

Kegel trainers are designed to help tone the pelvic floor muscles with exercise or contractions.  By improving the strength of your pelvic floor, you can improve bladder control and reduce leakage, provide better support for your organs, and increase sexual satisfaction.

Internal vs. External Kegel Trainer: Which is Best?

There are a variety of Kegel trainers on the market that can help to improve your pelvic floor function.

Internal trainers are inserted into the vagina and typically use biofeedback to guide you through exercises with the use of an app.  These require dedicated time and concentration each day to be effective and may feel awkward to use.

An external stimulator like Elitone uses electrical pulses to target your pelvic floor.  These electrical pulses do the hard work for you by telling your muscles to contract.   With Elitone, you can carry about your daily activities or simply relax while Elitone works to tone your pelvic floor.  Elitone is discreet, easy to use, and limits disruptions to your day.

Whether you choose and internal or external trainer, consistency is key to success.  Most people see an improvement in symptoms after using a Kegel trainer for six weeks.
