The Kegel8 Tight and Tone is an electronic pelvic floor exerciser designed to strengthen the muscles of a weakened pelvic floor. Over time, due to childbirth, the menopause and the natural aging process, the pelvic floor has a tendency to weaken and this can cause incontinence and lack of sexual sensation.
Until the development of special devices, women were advised to do a series of "squeeze and release" exercises. To be effective, it is recommended that at least 3 sets of 10 repetitions are performed daily. It is usually found that women do not continue this process after a few days due to lack of motivation. In addition, many women are simply unsure whether they are doing these exercises correctly and the weaker the pelvic floor, the more difficult it is to sense whether or not the muscles are being worked at all.
The Kegel8 Tight and Tone is able to do these exercises for you, thus removing doubt. The device consists of a handheld controller and a small vaginal probe, which is the same size as an average tampon. Once inserted into the vagina, the handheld controller is switched on and delivers variable levels of stimulation depending on your level of weakness. When used as directed, most women will begin to see results within a couple of weeks, with a short session performing the equivalent of thousands of pelvic contractions-an impossibility to do manually!
There are 9 programs already set in the device and these are displayed when the handheld controller is switched on. Level 1 is for beginners, or those with the slackest muscles whereas level 9 is for women who already have a strong pelvic floor but who are looking to take it to new levels. The key is to start off with the lowest level at which you feel a tingling sensation and work up over the recommended period of time.
Like any muscles in the body, the rule generally is that the more you exercise, the stronger they will become and of course this applies to your vaginal muscles. Using the Kegel8 Tight and Tone regularly will give better results than using it on an ad-hoc basis.
So, does the Kegel8 Tight and Tone work for toning the pelvic floor? The reviews and surveys certainly indicate a high level of satisfaction. By using any of the Kegel devices, you are not going to see results after the first couple of uses, but most women report an improvement within a couple of weeks of beginning.
The vast majority who persevere with the device exactly as instructed will see incontinence completely cured within 6 weeks to 6 months when using Kegel8 Tight and Tone.
