The perfect PFE unit has pulse widths
of 200 to 300 μs. Generally speaking,
the higher the pulse width, the more
"aggressive" the stimulation feels, if the
pulse width is set high enough, it will
usually elicit a muscle contraction,
which is required for an effective toning
of the pelvic floor muscles.

(TONE), and one for chronic pelvic pain
(PAIN).

floor using gentle stimulation. Once
these muscles are stronger they are
better able to resist urinary leakage
caused by external pressure being
applied to the bladder such as with a
cough, sneeze or physical exertion.
The stimulation causes the muscles to
contract and work. This builds their
strength. Like other fitness training,

months. Improvement starts becoming
apparent after about four weeks.
The sensation is like a strong drawing
in of the muscles of the vagina, pulling
up the pelvic floor. Your natural reaction
will be to pull your muscles in and up,
and this exercises and strengthens
them.
