If the app has suggested you start training while standing and you're noticing the probe slips out or your contraction quality/strength is dropping, you're not alone.
Training in a standing position is a great goal — but it’s also more demanding. Here’s why that is, and how to adapt your routine to suit your current strength and comfort level.
Why is standing harder?
From level 11, the app will recommend switching to a standing position. This change is designed to reflect how your pelvic floor works in daily life — but it does make things more challenging:
You're working against gravity and the weight of your internal organs.
This means your pelvic floor needs to contract with more strength and control.
Many people naturally compensate by tightening their abs or holding their breath, which can affect contraction quality.
Take it step by step
Standing is not the starting point — it’s a long-term goal. If you’re not comfortable in the standing position yet, that’s completely okay.
Here’s how to gradually build up:
Keep training in a low-pressure position:
Lying down (recommended for Perifit Care)
Sitting upright on a hard chair (recommended for Perifit Care+)
When you feel ready, start with:
1 exercise per session standing, the rest lying/sitting
Then gradually increase to 2 exercises standing, then 3…
Recalibrate the probe every time you change positions
What to do if the probe slips out
This is a common experience and the solution depends on the cause:
➡️If it’s slipping because:
Your pelvic floor isn’t yet strong enough to hold it in place, or
You’re unintentionally pushing downward
→ Keep training lying down or sitting until your strength and control improve.
➡️If it’s slipping because of:
A prolapse
Use of lubricant
The probe being a bit small for your anatomy
→ You can:
Gently hold the probe in place with your hand, or
Wear snug underwear over the probe, making sure the antenna/tail sticks out and points toward your belly. Just be sure not to push down while doing this.
In short:
Standing = advanced → build up gradually.
Use lying or sitting positions until you feel ready.
Recalibrate the probe when changing positions.
If the probe slips:
Stay lying/sitting if it’s due to strength or pushing.
Gently hold it or wear underwear if it’s anatomical — just don’t push.
You’re doing great — progress takes time.
