What Didn’t Work For Me
Not everything was successful:
- Using weights while standing – I needed to master technique lying down first
- Daily training without rest days – my muscles needed recovery time
- Expecting linear progress – some weeks showed no improvement, then sudden gains
Recommendations for Different Users
For Beginners
Start with beginner pelvic floor exercises without devices. Once comfortable, add the Synevra UltraLift trainer to ensure proper technique before introducing weights.
For Intermediate Users
Alternate between MITOLYN weights (for strength) and the UltraLift trainer (for form) 3-4 times per week.
For Advanced Training
Consider progressive overload with heavier weights while maintaining biofeedback sessions weekly to prevent technique breakdown.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I see results from kegel weights or trainers?
Most women notice some improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent training, but maximum benefits typically take 3-6 months of regular practice.
Can kegel weights or trainers make incontinence worse?
When used correctly, no. However, overtraining or incorrect technique can cause muscle fatigue. Always start slowly and consider professional guidance.
Should I use kegel weights every day?
No. Like any muscle group, your pelvic floor needs recovery time. Aim for 3-5 sessions per week with at least one rest day between weight training sessions.
How do I know if I’m using kegel weights correctly?
You shouldn’t feel abdominal tightening or breath holding. The weight should move upward when contracting correctly. If unsure, start with a biofeedback trainer first.
Are there any risks to using kegel weights?
When used as directed, risks are minimal. However, those with severe prolapse or recent pelvic surgery should consult their doctor first.
