The Kegelmaster™ is the most recommended, most proven and most effective dynamic progressive resistance Kegel exerciser of it's kind. The Kegelmaster™ was specifically designed to help a woman perform proper and effective Kegel exercises by applying adjustable targeted resistance against the muscles of the female pelvic floor.

The benefits from using the Kegelmaster and performing regular proper Kegel Exercises include relief from many common female pelvic floor disorders such as incontinence, pelvic and vaginal pain, sexual dysfunction. A strong and healthy pelvic floor can prevent the onset of bladder prolapse (cystocele) and uterine prolapse (rectocele).

The Kegelmaster™ has 15 levels of resistance with a maximum of 4.5lbs of pressure required to close the unit. The Advanced Kegelmaster has 64 levels of resistance with a maximum of 9.5lbs of pressure required to close the unit.

The Kegelmaster™ applies targeted resistance against the muscles of the female pelvic floor. The Kegelmaster is inserted into the vaginal opening about 3 to 4 inches but not beyond the flange. The adjustment knob can be loosened to open the unit as much as is comfortable. Using only the muscles of the pelvic floor, the muscles that encircle the vaginal opening a woman squeezes the unit closed and counts for 3 seconds then releases.

As a beginner to Kegel Exercises you may find it difficult or even impossible to close the Kegelmaster unit using your vaginal muscles alone. If this situation occurs you should employ the technique of "Negative Resistance".

Negative resistance is a technique whereby you use your fingers to manually close the unit then assist with your fingers as you allow your vaginal muscles to resist as the unit opens. Continue to do negative resistance and shift more of the pressure from your fingers to your vaginal muscles. As the unit opens squeeze and count 1-2-3 (seconds) and then repeat.

At anytime if you find the resistance is too high on a particular level you should reduce the level of resistance or employ negative resistance until you are able to complete that level using your pelvic floor and vaginal muscles alone to close the unit.

Urinary incontinence (UI) is any involuntary leakage of urine. Incontinence is twice as likely to occur in women as in men. Urinary incontinence typically has a profound impact on the quality of life. Urinary incontinence is nearly always the result of an underlying weakness in the female pelvic floor musculature and is, for the most part an easily treated medical condition with proper and effective Kegel Exercises.

• Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), also known as effort incontinence, is due essentially to insufficient strength of the pelvic floor muscles. It is the loss of small amounts of urine associated with coughing, laughing, sneezing, exercising or other movements that increase intra-abdominal pressure and thus increase pressure on the bladder. The urethra is supported by fascia of the pelvic floor. If this support is insufficient, the urethra can move downward at times of increased abdominal pressure, allowing urine to pass.
• Urge incontinence is involuntary loss of urine occurring for no apparent reason while suddenly feeling the need or urge to urinate. The most common cause of urge incontinence is involuntary and inappropriate detrusor muscle contractions. Idiopathic Detrusor Over activity Local or surrounding infection, inflammation or irritation of the bladder.
• Functional incontinence occurs when a person recognizes the need to urinate, but cannot physically make it to the bathroom in time due to limited mobility. The urine loss may be large.
• Overflow incontinence occurs when the person's bladder is always full so that it frequently leaks urine. Weak bladder muscles, resulting in incomplete emptying of the bladder, or a blocked urethra can cause this type of incontinence.
• Structural incontinence is rare. Structural problems can cause incontinence, usually diagnosed in childhood, for example an ectopic ureter. Structural incontinence can not typically be resolved with Kegel Exercises alone.
