Anyone tried these? Any recommendations? Worth the money?

I have this one

I’d recommend it, I don’t use it all the time but it made the world of difference to begin with so now I just have to do top up sessions.

Did you feel it working / notice the difference after?

I do floor exercises but after a horrid birth I feel I need a little more help.

Yes and yes. It’s a bit like I imagine a slender tone to be - the electrical impulses make the muscles tighten (spasm?) without any effort on your part and you control the strength of the current. I do kegels between each pulse so it’s a good work out.

I bought it originally because I thought I was at risk of a prolapse and was having some minor continence issues which it has sorted out entirely but it has had an added benefit of improving my sex life 😁

I'll look into it. I'm having some problems but all pelvic related I think.

I’m using a hospital one at the moment for weak pelvic floor and pelvic organ prolapse. Definitely seems to be helping with muscle tone, and amazingly this does seem to be reducing the symptoms of my prolapse as well. I’m doing normal kegels as well though (NHS Squeezy app is good to remind you), and Pilates to make sure I’m sorting my whole core and not just working my pelvic floor in isolation.
