I Tried Elvie’s Pelvic Floor Trainer and Was Surprised by the Results
Like many people who have given birth, I suffer from occasional urinary incontinence . And while I have been prone to leaking after too much exertion—like during a sneezing or coughing fit,is absolutely brutal for this—or when I try to hold my pee for too long, it was never bad enough that I felt the need to make a special appointment to see my doctor. But it still interfered with my life.
The app directs you every step of the way and tells you when it’s time to do a kegel and when to relax. There’s an indicator on the screen that charts your progress, gives you goals, and cheers you on. As time goes on it shows you your improvement and in some cases makes suggestions on what steps you should take next.Elvie is not a substitute for medical advice, and it can’t work miracles.
It also kept track of my previous achievements , which gave me a goal for each session. Nothing feels as good as being able to visually see the improvements you’re making over time, especially with something like this, where you can’t actually see the changes you’re making as you make them. Perhaps most importantly, it lets you know when you’re doing something wrong. On two occasions an error message popped up to tell me something wasn’t right, and that continuing to do the exercise the way I was going could actually do more harm than good. This ended up being a user error but served as a great reminder that I was working on something more important than beating my last high score.
I plan to keep using the device. Not only do I desperately want to get to the point where I can stop peeing when I sneeze, but I also want to keep getting that hit of dopamine I get each time I beat my last high score.
