How to use a pelvic floor exerciser

Pelvic floor exercises are one of those things everyone is told to do and almost no one keeps up. The good news is that a pelvic floor exerciser takes most of the effort and the guesswork out of it. Here is how to find your pelvic floor, how a device helps, and how to build it into a normal day without it becoming another chore.

First, find your pelvic floor

Your pelvic floor is the sling of muscle that supports your bladder. To find it, imagine gently stopping yourself passing wind, or stopping the flow of urine mid-stream (as a one-off test, not a habit). That lift-and-squeeze is the muscle you are working. If you cannot tell whether you are doing it right, you are not alone, and that is exactly where a device helps.

How a pelvic floor exerciser helps

A device like Soma Flex gives you something to work against, so the movement is easier to feel and easier to get right. More importantly, it takes away the counting and the remembering. Instead of a set of reps you have to schedule, you wear it and let it work while you get on with your day.

A simple way to build it into your day

  • Start small. A few minutes is plenty to begin with, and consistency beats intensity.
  • Pin it to something you already do, like your morning coffee or your commute, so it becomes automatic.
  • Get the fit right first. Comfortable is the whole point, so use the sizing set if you are not sure.
  • Be patient. Muscle takes time. Think weeks, not days, and let it be easy so you keep going.

Where Soma Flex fits in

Soma Flex is a pelvic floor exerciser you use at home, with no exercises to count, no app and no programme. It is reusable, discreet, and built to make looking after your pelvic floor easy enough that you actually stick with it, which is usually the difference that matters.

When to speak to a professional

If you have heavy or sudden leaks, pain, or you are not sure whether exercises are right for you, speak to your GP or a pelvic health physiotherapist. Soma Flex is a wellbeing product, not a substitute for medical advice.
