The Myself®Trainer was designed by a urologist and is clinically proven* to help you
strengthen your pelvic floor muscles easily and effectively. Strong pelvic muscles help
women achieve better bladder control, faster recovery after childbirth, and improved
vaginal tone.
When pelvic floor muscles are weak, involuntary urine
leaks can occur. This is common among women of all
ages, often happening when you laugh, cough, sneeze
or engage in physical activities such as jogging or heavy lifting. Weak pelvic floor
muscles can also contribute to frequent urges to urinate.
Effectively strengthening these muscles on your own can be difficult. The Myself®
Trainer helps you strengthen your pelvic floor muscles more effectively by guiding you
through a 5 minute per day Kegel exercise session, indicating when to squeeze and
when to relax by displaying visual cues on its full color display.
Just as it takes time to strengthen other muscles in your body, it takes time, good form
and consistent exercise to strengthen your pelvic floor.
“Just 5 minutes a day
can make a difference in
getting you back to doing
the things you love to do.”
Controlling Urinary
Incontinence
It is common to use the wrong muscles when doing Kegel exercises. Instead of using
the pelvic muscles, many women use their back, abdominal, or upper leg muscles. If
you use the wrong muscles, you may not see the full benefits. To make sure you are
using the right muscles, try the following:
Stop the flow of urine while you’re going to the bathroom. You should be able
to feel your muscles tighten and move upward. Then relax your muscles and feel
your muscles move down to the starting position.
Once you have found the right muscles to use, do not perform Kegels
while urinating.
Doing Kegel exercises with a full bladder or while emptying your bladder can
actually weaken the muscles. It can also lead to incomplete emptying of the
bladder, which may increase your risk of a urinary tract infection.
