“I bought the Empelvic pillow and started to feel a difference almost immediately. I'm not particularly diligent with the exercises, but still I can now jump, sneeze, etc. without having to actively squeeze or fear a leak :) Huge recommendation!”

Managing urinary incontinence

Urinary incontinence comes in many forms, whether it’s leaking when you cough or jump, feeling a sudden urge when you reach the door, or even dealing with fecal incontinence. In all cases, pelvic floor training is highly recommended. 

By strengthening the muscles in your pelvic floor, you can improve control and reduce symptoms. The Empelvic cushion offers a simple solution to better engage and strengthen these crucial muscles, helping to manage incontinence.

What is stress incontinence and what can be done?

Stress incontinence is one of the many types of urinary incontinence that can significantly affect your daily life. It occurs when physical movement or activity, such as coughing, sneezing, or exercising, puts pressure on your bladder, leading to leakage. 

Using the Empelvic cushion you can confidently learn how to engage and strengthen the right pelvic floor muscles. When combined with the breathing exercises the cushion helps to foster a stronger connection. With this increased stronger connection you can better engage with the muscles and learn to relax and gently strenghten them which can help alleviate conditions such as urinary and stress incontinence.

Frequently asked questions about incontinence

For best results, it is recommended to use the Empelvic cushion for a few minutes each day as part of your regular pelvic floor exercise routine to help manage urinary incontinence. Consistency is key to achieving optimal results. By dedicating just a small portion of your day to these exercises, you can gradually strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which play a crucial role in controlling bladder and bowel movements. Over time, this daily practice can lead to significant improvements in muscle tone and control, helping to reduce the frequency and severity of incontinence episodes. Additionally, incorporating the Empelvic cushion into your daily routine can enhance your overall pelvic health, contributing to reduced pelvic pain, and improved sexual function.

The Empelvic cushion helps by providing support for pelvic floor exercises, which strengthen the muscles responsible for controlling bladder and bowel movements, thereby reducing incontinence and enhancing your quality of life. When you sit on the Empelvic cushion, it encourages proper alignment and engages the pelvic floor muscles more effectively than traditional exercises alone. This targeted engagement ensures that you are working the right muscles, leading to more efficient and effective strengthening.

This is particularly beneficial for those experiencing stress incontinence, which occurs during activities that put pressure on the bladder, such as coughing, sneezing, or exercising.

Moreover, the Empelvic cushion can help with urge incontinence by enhancing the muscle control needed to delay the sudden and intense urge to urinate. Regular use of the cushion can also aid in managing fecal incontinence by improving the muscles that control bowel movements. By addressing these issues, the Empelvic cushion not only helps reduce the symptoms of incontinence but also significantly improves your overall quality of life, allowing you to engage in daily activities with greater confidence and comfort.

Yes, the Empelvic cushion can be used during pregnancy to help maintain pelvic floor strength and prevent incontinence both during and after pregnancy. Pregnancy places significant strain on the pelvic floor muscles due to the increased weight and pressure from the growing baby. Using the Empelvic cushion during this time can provide essential support and targeted exercise to keep these muscles strong and resilient.

By incorporating the Empelvic cushion into your daily routine, you can reduce the risk of developing urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence, which are common issues during pregnancy. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can also help manage other pregnancy-related conditions, such as pelvic organ prolapse and overactive bladder.

Furthermore, maintaining strong pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy can facilitate a smoother childbirth experience and promote faster postpartum recovery. The cushion's design ensures that exercises are performed correctly and effectively, maximising the benefits for both mother and baby.

Absolutely, the Empelvic cushion is designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which can help manage both urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence. The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in controlling the release of urine and stool, and by strengthening these muscles, you can significantly improve your ability to manage incontinence.

For urinary incontinence, the Empelvic cushion helps by enhancing the muscles that support the bladder and urethra. This increased muscle strength can reduce the likelihood of leaks during activities that put pressure on the bladder, such as coughing, sneezing, or exercising, which are common triggers for stress incontinence. It also helps improve muscle control for those experiencing urge incontinence, allowing you to better manage sudden and intense urges to urinate.

For fecal incontinence, the Empelvic cushion targets the muscles that control bowel movements. Strengthening these muscles can improve your ability to hold stool until you reach a toilet, reducing the risk of accidental leakage. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle with maintaining bowel control due to weakened pelvic floor muscles.

While results can vary, many users report noticeable improvements in muscle control and a reduction in urinary incontinence symptoms within a few weeks of consistent use. The key to achieving these results is regular and dedicated practice. By incorporating the Empelvic cushion into your daily routine, you ensure that your pelvic floor muscles receive the targeted exercise they need to become stronger and more resilient.

Typically, users begin to notice initial improvements in muscle tone and control within the first few weeks. This can manifest as fewer episodes of urinary or fecal leakage, better control during activities that previously triggered incontinence, and an overall sense of improved pelvic health. For some, the changes may be subtle at first, gradually building up to more significant improvements over time.

It's important to remember that consistency is crucial. Just like any other muscle group, the pelvic floor muscles require regular exercise to maintain and enhance their strength. By using the Empelvic cushion daily, you can maximise the benefits and achieve more lasting results.

In addition to reducing incontinence symptoms, regular use of the Empelvic cushion can also contribute to other aspects of pelvic health, such as improved sexual function, reduced pelvic pain, and better support for the pelvic organs. These additional benefits can further enhance your overall quality of life, providing you with greater confidence and comfort in your daily activities.

For the best outcomes, it is recommended to follow the exercise guidelines provided with the Empelvic cushion and to remain patient and persistent.

Yes, the Empelvic cushion is suitable for both men and women and can help men strengthen their pelvic floor muscles to manage urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence. Pelvic floor health is just as important for men as it is for women, and the Empelvic cushion provides an effective tool for addressing these issues.

For men, strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can help manage urinary incontinence, particularly after prostate surgery or due to an enlarged prostate. These muscles support the bladder and urethra, and by enhancing their strength and control, men can reduce the frequency and severity of urinary leakage. This is especially beneficial for those experiencing stress incontinence, which can occur during activities that put pressure on the bladder, such as lifting heavy objects or exercising.

In addition to urinary incontinence, the Empelvic cushion can also aid in managing fecal incontinence by improving the muscles that control bowel movements. Stronger pelvic floor muscles provide better support for the rectum and anus, helping to prevent accidental leakage and improving overall bowel control.

Moreover, regular use of the Empelvic cushion can contribute to other aspects of men's health. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can enhance sexual function, potentially improving erectile function and reducing issues such as premature ejaculation. This holistic approach to pelvic health can lead to a better quality of life, providing men with greater confidence and comfort in their daily activities.

The Empelvic cushion is designed to be safe and effective, providing targeted support for pelvic floor exercises without causing harm. However, as with any exercise tool, individual experiences may vary. Most users find the cushion comfortable and beneficial, but it is important to listen to your body and be mindful of any unusual sensations.

If you experience any discomfort or pain while using the Empelvic cushion, it is recommended to stop using it immediately and consult with a healthcare professional, as these could be warning signs of underlying causes that need to be addressed. Discomfort could be a sign that you are not using the cushion correctly, or it could indicate an underlying issue that needs to be addressed. A healthcare professional can provide guidance on proper usage and help determine if the cushion is suitable for your specific needs.

Yes, the Empelvic cushion can be used in conjunction with other treatments such as medications, lifestyle changes, and medical devices to enhance overall effectiveness. Combining the Empelvic cushion with a comprehensive treatment plan can provide a more holistic approach to managing incontinence, addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes.

Post-surgery the Empelvic cushion can aid in the recovery process by gently reintroducing pelvic floor exercises and helping to maintain muscle strength and function.

By integrating the Empelvic cushion with other incontinence treatments, you can create a well-rounded and effective management plan. This multifaceted approach not only addresses the immediate symptoms but also promotes long-term pelvic health, leading to improved quality of life and greater confidence in daily activities. Always consult with your healthcare provider to tailor a treatment plan that best suits your individual needs.
