The
Pelvexiser has a simple and effective design. It
offers visual biofeedback and adjustable pressure settings. The
sensor is made of molded silicone and does a good job of isolating
the pelvic floor muscles. The pressure in the sensor is easily regulated
from with the hand pump and can be removed for cleaning. The manufacturer
says you can put it in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. This device
is indicated for all conditions except expecting mothers. The variable
resistance levels allow significant progression of muscle strength.
The Pelvexiser is highly recommended for stress incontinence, because
of its adjustable resistance and easy to read biofeedback display.
This device is an excellent choice for women with low to moderate
pelvic floor muscle strength.

Familiarize
yourself with device operation before you start to exercise:
1)
Enclose sensor in your hand.
2) Gently increase sensor pressure and size with manual pump. Watch
the number increase on the display screen. You will feel the sensor
inflate.
3) Gently Squeeze, Hold (contraction) and Release the sensor with
your hand. Note that the sensor is only pressure sensitive in the
middle. Observe the pressure display while you are doing this. You
should get a feel for the sensor and how much pressure you need
to move the needle. Deflate sensor by turning the knob just under
the display to decrease the pressure in the sensor. You will see
the pressure fall to zero on the display screen.

Exercising with the Pelvexiser
1) Lie down flat on your bed. It may help to bend your knees with
your feet flat against the bed surface.
2) Insert deflated sensor into vagina like a tampon just up to the
flat black neck. You may use KY Jelly (water based lubricant only)
to ease insertion.
3) Increase the pressure in the sensor with the manual pump up to
a pressure that feels comfortable. (Gently increase the pressure
– each time you pump do not squeeze more than half an inch
or 1cm).
4) This step is very important!
Try to imagine that you are interrupting your urine flow or that
you are pulling the sensor deeper inside your vagina. Do not flex
your abs or move your thighs while you do this. If you flex your
abs you will tend to push the sensor out. If your thighs are relaxed
and you are not pushing out the sensor you are doing the exercise
correctly.
5) Squeeze, Hold and Release your vagina 30 times per set. (try
to hold at least 2 seconds - beginners have trouble to produce any
movement of the needle at all – this is why you should exercise
regularly: soon you will be able to produce a 5, 10 or 20mm/hg increase
with your pelvic floor muscles– and you will notice the difference!).
6 ) Deflate sensor by pressing end and turning the knob when you
are done.
7 ) Clean the sensor soap and water but make sure no water enters
the air circuitry.
