How often and how long should I train ?
Updated over a year ago

It all depends on your needs and condition. We recommend 3 to 5 ten-minute training sessions per week. We do not recommend exceeding this training time.

Training regularly for short periods of time is key to success. Most studies evaluating pelvic floor muscle training to treat urinary incontinence show that training at least 4 days per week is more effective than training less often.

Since the pelvic floor muscles fatigue quickly, the quality of the Kegel contraction may be hard to maintain in prolonged sessions. Thus, it is better to do multiple short sessions rather than a few long sessions.

And remember, relaxation is just as important as contraction for a healthy, flexible pelvic floor. Focus as much on fully relaxing .

Your pelvic health professional can provide some guidelines on the training frequency you should aim for based on your personal condition.
