Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer – My Experience


I bought the Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer as I had a weakened pelvic floor caused by having 3 children naturally (one was a particularly difficult and long birth). My own symptoms included mild incontinence and slackened vaginal muscles.

I found it all pretty embarrassing really. Like most of us, I really did try to do the Kegel exercises but they just seemed so tedious and there was always something else to think about. Also, I never really knew if I was doing them right. There were that many \”do\’s and don\’ts\” and plenty of information about the fact that if you were doing them incorrectly, they wouldn\’t do any good at all.

After the birth of my first child 20 years ago, I didn\’t really seem much different \”down there\”. I had an episiotomy and the birth was long and traumatic. After my second child was born, I noticed that I\’d started to leak urine a little. This would happen during exercise, for which I started to wear a thin panty pad, and I also noticed that if my bladder was really full, I couldn\’t quite make it to the bathroom without leaking a little.

I mentioned it to the nurse when I went for a smear test and I received a sheet detailing the Kegel exercises. I could never really get the sensation of tightening up properly although I really did try to include them in my daily routine. For example, I tried to make a point of doing them in the car on my way to work and on a night, when I laid down in bed, I would try to do a few. It was only after the birth of my third child when things became really bad that I considered having a repair operation.

It had got to the point that I was constantly wearing a sanitary pad to soak up the leakage. I couldn\’t do any exercise at all without being soaked and I\’d noticed that when I wore tampons, they seemed to fall out of place and were often close to the entrance of my vagina even though they had been inserted correctly. I subsequently found out that I was suffering from mild prolapse symptoms.

I was watching GMTV one morning and Doctor Hilary Jones mentioned the Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer. I thought it looked interesting, but I hadn\’t heard the full segment and didn\’t think about it again until I heard Chris Steele from This Morning recommend it, saying it was a foolproof way to do Kegels. He said that over 42% of women under 50 suffered from mild to moderate incontinence and that most would not discuss it with partners or even their GP\’s. I decided to take the plunge and give it a go. This was my last chance to do something before repair surgery.

I used the Athena twice a day for 15 minutes each time. Within a couple of weeks, I noticed that things seemed \”tighter\”. Within a month, there was a real difference in the amount of urine leakage and I would say that after around 12 weeks, I was completely dry. To me it was like a minor miracle! After years of suffering in silence and feeling like an old woman, I was suddenly \”cured\”. I found it totally foolproof.

The Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer is wireless and that is what convinced me to try it over other pelvic toners. It\’s only the size of a tampon, so I found it really easy to use. I got into the habit of using it whilst eating my breakfast and then during the evening whilst watching TV, so it never interfered with my routine. I still use it, as in Doctor Chris Steele\’s words \”Use it or lose it\”-meaning that like any muscle, it is best to exercise it regularly. I use it just a couple of times a week now.

Pelvic floor exercisers have revolutionized the way we do Kegel exercises and give many more women the chance to rid themselves of urinary incontinence. There is no doubt that the Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer is the cream of the crop. Whilst it may be slightly more expensive than other devices, it\’s features are far superior and having read through many surveys from women who have used various devices, each and every one who has used the Athena agrees that it represents good, very good, or excellent value for money. If this problem has plagued you for months or years, the steps you take today could ensure that you eliminate pelvic floor weakness for good.

Kegel8 Ultra Plus – The Versatile Pelvic Trainer


The Kegel8 range of pelvic toners is building up a solid reputation not only amongst women themselves, but with health professionals who are increasingly choosing to recommend and use them in their incontinence clinics.

It doesn’t seem that long ago since Kegel brought out the Kegel8 Ultra but they have already surpassed this excellent product by bringing out the Kegel8 Ultra Plus.

The device consists of two main parts. A handheld digital device which can be programmed to treat both stress and mixed incontinence simultaneously, and a vaginal probe. Well actually, that’s not quite right! What sets the Ultra Plus apart from the other models in the range is the fact that it comes ready supplied with two probes.

Normally, you can buy the Kegel models with a standard or wider probe. The wider probe being more suitable for those women who have given birth vaginally, or for those who simply feel that their pelvic floor muscles are particularly slack. If at any time you required a different sized probe you would have had to buy one separately.

Now although you may be thinking “Why would I need 2 probes?” The answer is that many women who start off with the wider probe find that after a few weeks use, the vagina has tightened enough to only require the smaller probe and that the larger one may have become uncomfortable. Normally, buying the second probe can prove costly, but with the Kegel8 Ultra Plus, the difference in cost between buying the standard Ultra and the Ultra Plus is minimal.

The device is very easy to use and each session of use lasts just a few minutes. It is recommended that you use the Kegel8 devices twice a day until your vaginal muscles have tightened satisfactorily and then just a few times a week for maintenance.

The benefits of using pelvic toners above trying to do manual kegel exercises is that you are not left wondering whether you are performing the exercises correctly. Many women simply “give up” because many find the exercises tedious whereas with a Kegel8 pelvic toner, you are guaranteed to be exercising the correct muscles in the correct way, meaning that you will see quick results. Additionally, some women have such poor vaginal muscle tone that they simply cannot feel whether they are “squeezing” their muscles at all.

To give you an idea of the efficiency of the Kegel8 Ultra Plus, this device delivers the equivalent of doing 10,000 manual pelvic floor “squeezes” in just 10 minutes-imagine how long it would take to do that many!

This Kegel8 device is clearly a step up from the existing models within the Kegel8 range. Although the other devices continue to give excellent results, both Ultra models are completely programmable, with 14 different levels.
