Exercising your Pelvic Floor is like going to the gym, you need to keep doing it to build and maintain fitness. The time it takes to bring your muscles back to fitness depends on the strength of your muscles and the level to which you leak.
To re-train your Pelvic Floor muscles we recommend that you use Pelviva for 12 weeks. Pelviva should be used every other day except when menstruating. If you forget to use Pelviva or cannot use due to menstruation, use every day to ensure you use 15 in each month. Use 1 sachet of OptiLube ™ lubricating jelly with each Pelviva.
Most women describe feeling a pulsing sensation although we will all feel it differently. Some women will feel it more than others, sometimes the pulse may change in strength as you move and you may feel it more on one side than the other.
Some women new to using Pelviva have told us that the first few devices seemed quite strong but that they got used to the sensation after using a few devices.
You may notice an improvement in symptoms within the first few days of using Pelviva as you become more aware of your Pelvic Floor muscles, but you should continue with the programme until you are sure that the improvement is lasting. We recommend using Pelviva for 12 weeks.
Your Pelvic Floor muscles did not weaken over night – be patient, it takes time to re-gain control.
