Welcome to Kegel8® V for Men
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing Kegel8®V for Men. You are now one step
closer to a healthier, stronger, and more sensitive pelvic area.
Kegel8 V for Men is a highly effective neuromuscular stimulator
(STIM). It works by producing electrical pulses that stimulate the
muscles and nerve bres in your pelvic area.
If you have never used a neuromuscular stimulator before, you
may be a little apprehensive. That’s quite normal - lots of people
are cautious at rst, but soon realise that there is nothing to worry
about. The slim probe, skin electrode and lead wires are designed
for ease of use, and while you will be able to feel the effects of the
electric pulses, they should not cause any discomfort. If you follow
the instructions in this User Guide, Kegel8 V for Men is a safe and
effective way of improving the condition of your pelvic area.
Indications for use:
●urinary incontinence
Also used for non-medical purposes to:
●maintenance of healthy bowel movement
●achieve more satisfying erection
●improve rectal sensation for enhanced pleasure
