Why Electrostimulation Is a Game-Changer for Pelvic Floor Health

Do leaks hold you back?

Did you leak a little last time your girlfriends made you laugh at brunch? Or do you have to run to the bathroom every time you open the front door to your home?

Pelvic floor weakness is extremely common, especially postpartum or with age, and can lead to bladder leaks, urgency, and discomfort. What we don't talk about enough is that your pelvic floor can be retrained and strengthened. One of the most effective tools for this is intravaginal electrostimulation.

What Is Intravaginal Electrostimulation?

Intravaginal electrostimulation (IVES) uses gentle, safe electrical pulses to contract and relax your pelvic floor muscles. Think of it like a workout for your pelvic floor, but instead of trying to do Kegels on your own (which most people do incorrectly), the device helps your muscles activate properly.

This “wakes up” weak or inactive muscles, making it easier to build strength, control, and confidence.

Why Not Just Do Kegels?

Kegels are helpful—but only if they’re done correctly and consistently. The reality is:

  • Most people perform Kegels incorrectly, often engaging the wrong muscles.

  • Weak pelvic floor muscles may be too inactive to contract effectively at first.

  • Even when done right, Kegels take time to show results.

Intravaginal electrostimulation ensures the muscles contract the way they’re supposed to, so you’re no longer guessing.

Electrostimulation vs. Other Pelvic Floor Devices

There are many devices marketed for pelvic floor health, from biofeedback pods to vaginal weights. Here’s why electrostimulation often delivers faster and stronger results:

  • Active vs. Passive Activation

    • Electrostimulation: Actively contracts your muscles for you, making it perfect for “waking up” very weak or inactive muscles.

    • Biofeedback-only devices: Only measure or track your effort—you still need to be able to contract your muscles on your own.

  • Stronger Muscle Engagement

    • Electrical pulses reach deep pelvic floor muscles that are hard to target on your own.

    • Other devices may only engage surface-level muscles.

  • Better for Beginners

    • If you’ve never been able to feel or perform a correct Kegel, electrostimulation “teaches” your muscles what the movement should feel like.

    • Vaginal weights or sensors won’t help if your muscles can’t contract properly in the first place.

  • Proven Clinical Benefits

    • Studies show women using intravaginal electrostimulation report improvements in bladder control, pelvic strength, and quality of life within weeks.

    • Many pelvic floor physical therapists use electrostimulation as part of treatment plans—proof of its trusted effectiveness.

Who Can Benefit Most?

Intravaginal electrostimulation is especially helpful for:

  • Postpartum women rebuilding pelvic strength.

  • Women experiencing urinary incontinence or bladder leaks.

  • Anyone who struggles to perform or feel a proper Kegel.

  • Women noticing pelvic weakness with aging.

Take Back Control of Your Pelvic Health

You don’t have to plan your life around bathroom breaks or avoid activities you love. With intravaginal electrostimulation, you can strengthen your pelvic floor, reduce leaks, and regain confidence on your own schedule and right from home.
