Kegel Toners And The Athena Spirit

by steve on Friday, September 3rd, 2010 | No Comments

There are two types of kegel exerciser: the progressive resistance vaginal exerciser designed for use at the same time with Kegel exercises; and the automatic, self-programmable pelvic toner.

The Kegel Toner works on a resistance-based principle. The product is slipped into the vagina and the muscles are squeezed in order to bring the arms of the toner together. This action is repeated for a number of reiterations, twice daily in order to build up pelvic floor tone. In the first instance, there may be some soreness as there is with any type of muscle exercise, but allow the muscles to recuperate over a day or so, and carry on when your muscles have recovered.

As your ability to contract the device improves, you may want to consider a stronger set of resistance springs. As with any type of exercise, if you cease, the pelvic floor will gradually atrophy and muscle strength will decrease – the vaginal embrace will loosen and you may find that your incontinence returns. So keep at it!

Our electrical toners include the NeuroTrac PelviTone, the AthenaFem Wireless Toner and the AthenaSpirit.

The Pelvi-Tone has 11 pre-set programmes and three fully customisable programmes. This is in all likelihood the most functionally rich toner you can buy. The unit is not designed to replace Kegel Exercises, but to complement them. It will build up the pelvic floor and give you a perception for you to realise where the pelvic floor actually sits. The electronic probe, which is inserted into the vagina, performs an initial work-out when started, and then gives prompts/reminders to hold the Kegel exercise.

The probe for all the electronic toners is ergonomically manufactured and fits most people. A small percentage of women find it uncomfortable and report some problems keeping it in place, but the vast majority of customers experience no problems at all.

These type of toners should be used once or twice a day, leaving at least one hour between each session. After a couple of months you can reduce usage to just 3 times a week depending on your success to date.

The Athena Fem Wireless Toner offers blutooth technology thereby providing total control & freedom. There is no need to worry about working out the right muscles – the probe, when inserted into the vagina, energises the pelvic floor muscles with nostrain on your part.

With its 3 settings, the Athena Spirit PMT is able to deal with both stress, urge and mixed incontinence. The product has a default length of 15 minutes so there is no need to be concerned about timing the exercise. The probe is about the size of a lipstick, easy to install and remove and does not rely on any tubes or wires to connect it to the control product. You can buy the AthenaSpirit in the UK from numerous businesses including both web based and retail companies.
