Questions & Tips

Here you will find all the information and answers to your questions about our products.
Our tip: Plus
Using lubricant makes inserting the cones easier. However, this can make training more difficult, as the cones slip out more easily.
When should you actively use the pelvic floor training aids Phase I and when should you actively use the pelvic floor training aid Phase II? Plus
When should you actively use the pelvic floor training aids Phase I and when should you actively use the pelvic floor training aid Phase II?
What is the difference between the Phase I Active pelvic floor training aid and the Phase II pelvic floor training aid? Plus
The two training aids differ in their application and function. The effect of the Phase I Active is based on the biofeedback principle. This means that with the vaginally inserted cones of Phase I Active, slipping out is prevented by actively tensing the pelvic floor muscles. The Phase II vaginal cone, on the other hand, does not slide out but remains inserted throughout the entire application and passively stimulates the pelvic floor with silent vibrations. The two white contact surfaces on the cord side of the cone and the stimulation islands help to transmit the vibrations particularly well.
What should you do if you can't hold the lightest cone? Plus
In this case, we recommend performing the exercises in the exercise booklet without the cone inserted, or performing exercises while lying down or in an inclined position (starting on page 6). This way, the full weight of the cone doesn't press down. If you don't notice any noticeable improvement in your pelvic floor muscles with continued training, you should seek medical advice.
How deep should the cones be inserted? Plus
The cones should be inserted vaginally completely, similar to a tampon, about 3-4 cm deep, using the index and/or middle finger. To avoid injury, no other objects or devices should be used for insertion. Using a water-based lubricant can make insertion easier.
How long and how often should you actively train with the Phase I pelvic floor training aids? Plus
For the best possible muscle development, we recommend training twice a day (morning and evening), for approximately 10 minutes each time. Do not exceed the recommended training time, as this can lead to muscle soreness.
Can the Phase I pelvic floor training aids be actively used during pregnancy? Plus
During an uncomplicated pregnancy, training with the cones can strengthen the pelvic floor and prevent possible subsequent complications. Pelvic floor training aids should not be used in cases of vaginal infections, inflammation, or discomfort in the intimate area, as well as during a problematic pregnancy.
Can I actively use the Phase I pelvic floor training aids immediately after giving birth? Plus
No. After giving birth, pelvic floor training or postnatal exercises should only be started after consulting a doctor or midwife. It's important to ensure that any injuries and scars that may result from childbirth have healed and that the cervix is ​​closed.
Can you use the Phase I Active Pelvic Floor Training Aids while wearing a contraceptive IUD? Plus
Yes. It is possible to use an IUD (intrauterine device) and the Phase I Active Pelvic Floor Training Aids simultaneously (as is wearing a cervical cap, contraceptive ring, or diaphragm). However, correct positioning must be checked before and after each training session. If in doubt, seek medical advice before use.
Can Phase I pelvic floor training aids be actively used to counteract uterine prolapse and effectively counteract it? Plus
In cases of uterine prolapse (as well as prolapse of other pelvic organs), each individual case must be considered. A medical consultation should be sought, and appropriate treatment measures should be implemented.
Are the materials skin-friendly? Plus
Yes. All materials that come into contact with the skin have been tested as part of a biocompatibility assessment in accordance with DIN EN ISO 10993-1 (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1): the withdrawal strap, the plastic used, and the four cone colors used. As part of our purchasing and quality management processes, we continuously check to ensure that only materials that exactly meet the specifications are used.
What size are the individual cones? Plus
The size of the four cones is comparable to the size of a standard tampon. They have a diameter of approximately 2.2 cm at their widest point and are approximately 5 cm long without the string.
What is the weight of each cone? Plus
Each cone has a different color and weight: yellow 20 g, blue 28 g, green 52 g, purple 71 g
