pelviva Pelvic Floor User manual
Congratulations on taking this positive step towards re-training your Pelvic Floor!
Did you know that through no fault of their own, over 50% of women are unable to do Pelvic
Floor Muscle exercises correctly? Pelviva does all of the hard work for you, adjusting to your
body and providing just the right treatment strength to achieve the ultimate results.
Using Pelviva for the first time?
We know that trying something for the first time can be daunting so to make your first
experience of Pelviva as easy as possible, we have written a Quick Start Guide which is on
the reverse of this letter.
Before using Pelviva please be sure to read the Instruction for Use leaflet found in your pack
or visit the FAQ section of the website to be sure Pelviva is suitable for you. You can also find
some video clips of women talking about their experiences using Pelviva which you may find
both informative and reassuring.
Some women find the pulses during the first week particularly strong, and less so as they get
used to it; for other women it is a gentle sensation like a ‘heart’ beat in the vagina right from
the beginning. How you feel the Pelviva treatment can also vary during your menstrual cycle
as your hormones alter how your body reacts to the Pelviva pulse technology.
Everyone is different and experiences will vary – some women find that the pulse changes
as they move and others feel it stronger on one side than the other. None of this is cause for
concern, and with experience, you will learn how to use Pelviva to suit your body to obtain
your best Pelvic Floor workout. With time, you will know that Pelviva is having a positive
effect as the leaks reduce and you begin to feel more in control.
Continuing your treatment
We recommend the full 12-week treatment although you may, like 80% of women, start to
notice benefits after just 3 weeks! We suggest that you continue to use Pelviva every other
day for 3 months, averaging 15 per month. Therefore, the 3-treatment pack will provide
enough Pelviva for 1 week and the 15-treatment pack will provide enough Pelviva for 1 month.
You should not use Pelviva when you have your period, so simply fit in the treatments around
your periods, averaging 15 per month.
If you have any questions about using Pelviva, please visit our FAQ section of the website
www.Pelviva.com, email jane@pelviva.com or call 0800 681 6008 to speak to
a member of our Customer Service Team.
Thank you for choosing Pelviva, and congratulations
on joining the other women around the globe who
have decided to take action to restore their
Pelvic Floor.

Pelviva automatically starts
Pulses are automatically generated by the Pelviva stimulator
contained within the foam. These travel from the pulse pads
to your Pelvic Floor muscles and return back to the pulse
pads.
The Pelviva foam holds the pulse p ads in close contact with
your vaginal tissue allowing the pulse to be conducted into
your Pelvic Floor muscle.
Pelviva continuously transmits pulses until the
microprocessor detects that your target treatment intensity
has been reached. The feedback mechanism monitors the
level of stimulation to ensure your target treatment intensity
is maintained.

At the end of the treatment programme Pelviva
stops automatically. To remove Pelviva, pull gently on
the removal cord, wrap and dispose of in the normal
household waste.
Get comfortable.
Apply the OptiLube™ jelly to Pelviva.
When you are ready to position Pelviva, pull the tab.
Do not delay. Once you have pulled the tab, the Pelviva
starts within 10 seconds, it will automatically ‘switch off’
if not positioned in the vagina within 1 minute.
Gently squeeze the pulse pads together. (This makes it
easy to insert Pelviva inside the vagina. Pelviva should
sit slightly below where a tampon fits).

Series of
10 x 1 second
pulse trains
Followed by
rest phases of
10 seconds
Once the target intensity is reached the microprocessor
starts the treatment programme consisting of a phase
of 10x 1 second pulse trains.
Each phase is followed by a rest phase of 10 seconds
which protects against over exercising your muscles.
The stimulation and rest phases are repeated for the
remainder of the 30 minute programme.
The stimulation pulses simultaneously target both your
power and endurance muscles in the Pelvic Floor to
help you regain control if you leak when you exercise,
cough or laugh, or to hold on when you urgently need
to go to the toilet.
