When switched on, in STRES and
TONE programmes the unit will go
through an exercise programme for 4-5
seconds, followed by a rest period of 8-
10 seconds. The perfect PFE causes a
sensation which feels like a strong
drawing in of the vagina and pulling up
of the pelvic floor. The natural reaction
will be to pull in and up with the
muscles.
At lower strength settings, you may not
feel any sensation at all, this depends
very much on the individual and any
pre-existing physical conditions, so
slowly increase the
repeatedly pressing the ▲ button until
you begin to feel the muscles around
your vagina contract.
For best results in these programmes
try to contract the pelvic floor muscles
along with the perfect PFE, and to
sustain the contraction into the rest
interval. If possible, link the contraction
to your breathing to get into a gentle
rhythm.
Increase the strength as high as it is
comfortable, and then take it back down
one step.
The strength display on the control unit
will reduce to 0 and flash during the rest
period.
The URGE and PAIN programmes
work differently. There is no need to
have a contraction. The strength should
be comfortable, but always remain
noticeable. You may need to increase it
over the course of the treatment.
The

length of each session for muscle
strengthening will also depend on your
ability to contract and your resistance to
fatigue. Be careful not to overuse early
on, as the resulting aches may not be
felt until the next day.
then continue the session with the
intensity set at a lower level.
Optional
placement for URGE
An alternative method to a vaginal
intensity by
probe is to stimulate areas of the skin
that are close to the nerves that go to
the bladder and urethra. These come
from the parts of the spinal cord
segment called S2-S3.
The electrodes are placed on the skin
between the anus and the genitals, or
at the very bottom of the spine near
your coccyx or "tail". See electrode
placement pictures below.
The stimulation should be strong
enough to make your anus contract
slightly.
