Stress incontinence and digital pelvic floor exercisers

[Pookybelle]

Hi, I have been struggling on and off with stress incontinence since the birth of DS three years ago. I have already seen a physiotherapist who was great but I have come to accept that I just do not have the time or motivation to continue doing pelvic floor exercises every day..... forever . So, I am considering the lazy route and getting a machine to do the work for me whilst I read in bed.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with digital pelvic floor exercisers?

I have been looking at the Kegel8 (£100 - ouch!) versus the TensCare itouch Sure (£50).
Any advice or experience would be gratefully received.

Have been wondering the same - so bump and will watch with interest!

Hmmm,I think we might be left wondering Daffodilly!

I have been to stress incontinence physio and they recommended one of these can get them from a variety of places online but much cheaper than what you are thinking of, I've been using once since ds3 was few months old, was good but I got bit lazy about using it (only needs 20mins a day - I put it in in shower) and funnily enough had a couple of worrying moments this week!

They featured some different 'products' on Embarassing bodies (C4) once here not sure if you can watch it but I think it gives more info

Hope that helps x

should add that I don't think that Embarassing Bodies link I put says which one is best - they saw the greatest improvement in pelvic floor strength with the Pelvic Cones although all methods improved pelvic floor

I'm looking too although I am currently pregnant so would wait until after and reassess. I never have seemed to be able to properly isolate the correct muscles for the exercise they tell you to do. The cones look a bit faffy to me as you seem to need to stay standing and concentrate on them. If I knew it would work as a quick fix I would pay the £100 for the Kegel8 in no time - I just want to hear opinion from somewhere other than a ste advertising the product!

Can I bump this again? Anyone else got any ideas on this? My DS is 14 weeks now and while things are sort of returning to normal down there I'd rather not worry about sneezing or laughing too hard forever

I've been doing pelvic floor exercises everyday but they only seem to be doing so much good and I've seen one of those TensCare itouch Sure for £35 on amazon with a lot of good reviews. Anyone used one? Experiences to share - good or bad?
