Kegel8 Ultra 20 User manual

Welcome!
Thank you for choosing Kegel8® Ultra 20. This
personal therapeutic device is designed to help
you strengthen your pelvic oor in the comfort of
your own home. Created especially for women,
the Kegel8® Ultra 20 is a safe and eective
neuromuscular stimulator (STIM) that works by
producing electrical pulses that gently stimulate
the muscles and nerve bres in your pelvic area.
What Are the Benets of Having a
Stronger Pelvic Floor?
The pelvic oor is a sling of muscles that run from
your pelvic bone (in the front) to your tailbone (in
the back). Think of these muscles like a hammock
that supports your reproductive organs, bladder
and lower bowels.

Various life circumstances can weaken these
muscles, such as pregnancy, childbirth, excessive
weight gain, surgery, or ageing. By using the
Kegel8® Ultra 20, you
will be eortlessly
guided through a of
series of STIM-induced
pelvic oor (kegel)
exercises that will
assist you in gradually
restrengthening your
pelvic oor

Setting Up and Using Your
Kegel8® Ultra 20
1. Insert the 9 Volt Battery -
Remove the back cover of the
Kegel8® Ultra 20. Take one 9-volt
battery (one has been included
with your device.) Insert the
battery into the device, and replace
the back cover.
2. Prepare Your Probe - Wash
your probe in warm, soapy
water (body safe/intimate soap)
Then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Alternatively, you could clean your
probe with a gentle antibacterial
cleanser like our own Kegel8®
Klean Cleaning Spray.
3. Connect the Probe to the
Kegel8® Ultra 20 Device - Insert the
lead wire into Channel A at the top
le of the Kegel8® Ultra 20 device
and connect your probe to the lead
wire connectors. Turn On Your
Kegel8® Ultra 20 - Press the on/o
button once to turn on your device.

4. Insert Your Probe - Apply
a small amount of Kegel8
Conductivity Gel, on the metal parts
of the probe. Insert the probe into
your vagina, with the metal sides
facing “hip-to-hip”. Avoid placing
the probe too deeply, the tip should
be inserted no further than 2 inches
(5.5 cm) into your vagina.
5. Select a Programme - Choose an
exercise programme by pressing the
PRG button until the screen shows
the programme you wish to use.
6. To proceed with a selected
programme, press the A+ button
to increase the current intensity
(displayed as mA = milliamps). If
the sensation is too strong, you
can decrease it by pushing the
A- button. The amount of current
needed to stimulate pelvic oor muscles varies
from person to person. Starting from 0 mAs, you
should increase the mA power to a level where
you can feel the eects of the electrical pulse
without it causing any discomfort.
TIP: To pause a programme, press the P button.
When you’re ready to continue press the + button

For a sensation test or a neuromodulation
programme you only need to feel a strong but
comfortable sensation. For a muscle exercise
programme you can gradually increase until
you feel the muscles contract and relax with the
electrical cycles. The sensation should never be
painful. Some programmes have dierent phases.
So if you feel a decrease in intensity as the phase
changes, just use the + button to increase the mAs
back up to a comfortable level.
TIP: For rst time users, start with P01 - Sensation Test 1.
This will ensure that you are able to feel the current safely.
If you cannot feel the current, perform P01 at 50mA once a
day for 4 weeks before progressing onto P02.
Cleaning and Storage
Aer use, clean your probe with warm water,
optionally spray on an antibacterial spray, and then
wipe dry. With the lead wires still attached, store
your probe with the Kegel8®
Ultra 20 in the convenient
carrying case which came
with your unit.

Using the Electrode Pads
The electrode pads that came
with your device can be used
for a variety of kegel8® Ultra
20 programmes. The diagram
shows options for where you
can place the electrode pads.
When using 2 pads (alone or with an internal
electrode), simply connect a lead wire to a pair of
electrode pads and insert the other end of the lead
wire into Channel B at the top right of your device.
Use Channel B controls to change the intensity of
the current through the pads. If you are using skin
electrodes you will not need to turn up the current
very far to feel a sensation.
When using 4 pads, use 2 lead wires, with one
in Channel A and one in Channel B. Use the
corresponding controls to turn up the intensity of
the current through each pair of pads individually.
They do not have to be the same intensity. Please
do not go above 15mA when using electrode pads.

8. Vaginal Looseness and
Lack of Sensation
Vaginal looseness and lack of vaginal sensation
are usually closely linked. Women don’t have that
many nerve endings inside the vagina. Women
feel “pressure” and “deep touch” more than light
sensations. The sexual pleasure women experience
comes from the rubbing and build-up of friction
against the vaginal walls.
The vaginal walls at the base and the sides are
layered with the pelvic oor muscles. These
muscles need to have good tone and rmness to
