Starting
Before first use, please
remember to:
1. Charge Elvie
See p.5 for details.
2. Get the Elvie app
Download the app through the
App Store (for iPhone) or Google
Play (for Android). Once installed,
open the app and follow the
on-screen instructions.
The app is available on phones that
support Bluetooth Low Energy.
iPhones must have iOS7 or above
(recommended devices are iPhone
5 and later). Android phones must
have version 4.3 or newer.
3. Clean Elvie
Please remember to wash your
hands and Elvie with warm, soapy
water before use, rinsing
thoroughly.
4. Switch on Bluetooth on your
phone
Go to your phone settings to turn
on Bluetooth.

Using Elvie for
the first time
Open the Elvie app to be guided
on how to use Elvie for the first
time.
1. Connect Elvie
Elvie connects to your phone
using Bluetooth. To connect
your Elvie for the first time, simply
squeeze it gently in your hand for
3 seconds.
2. Insert Elvie
Elvie is easy to insert. The pebble
shaped part goes inside your
vagina and the tail remains
outside, facing forward. Be sure
to fully insert the pebble shaped
part, but not too high up (images
2a and 2b). If you pull down
gently, you will feel a slight
resistance against the vaginal
opening. If it feels uncomfortable
to insert Elvie, try using some
water-based lubricant.

Using Elvie for
the first time
3. Find the right fit
Many women prefer to use the
optional cover to prevent Elvie
falling out or moving about inside.
Try with and without the cover to
see what feels best. Thread the
Elvie tail through the small hole in
the cover and pull over Elvie
(image 3). Always remember to
take the cover o when charging.
4. Pick exercise position
Most women prefer to exercise
standing. Simply stand with your
legs shoulder width apart (image
4a) and hold your phone centrally
by your midri. If this doesn’t feel
comfortable, try lying down, legs
apart (image 4b). For best results
please set your targets and keep
exercising in the same position
over time.

How to exercise
The pelvic floor is a powerful little
set of muscles that stretches like a
hammock between your pubic
bone and your tailbone. When
healthy and toned, they lift up
your pelvic organs for a strong
core and great control.
If you aren’t sure what it feels like
to exercise your pelvic floor,
imagine that you are trying to
stop yourself peeing mid-flow.
This muscle movement, lifting
inwards and upwards, is what you
need to master. (But don’t keep
doing it while you’re peeing!)

How to exercise
When exercising, remember to:
• Keep your stomach, buttocks
and thighs relaxed and don’t hold
your breath
• Take a deep breath to relax and
as you breathe out squeeze your
pelvic floor inwards and upwards

guidance during your workouts.
Tap the help icon in the top left
corner for information on how to
perfect your exercise technique.

Connecting...

How to connect
Elvie works best when it is able to
connect easily with your phone.
This means not obscuring the tail
too much (for example by
crossing your legs). Try to keep
your legs open when exercising
and your phone in the line of
sight with Elvie, as detailed in p.9
and 10.
At the beginning of each exercise,
gently squeeze your Elvie so that
it starts searching for the phone.
It can take up to 30 seconds to
connect.
If Elvie disconnects during an
exercise it should reconnect
automatically. If it doesn't, please
follow the on-screen instructions,
remembering to squeeze Elvie
for at least 3 seconds when
trying to connect.
