Trainer. Here’s what some women have had to say.
Sara, 45 years of age, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Symptom Free with The Myself® Trainer*
During her days as an occupational therapist, Sara regularly worked with patients
with incontinence issues and taught them to do Kegel exercises. However, the mother
of four did not realize she was also experiencing symptoms of incontinence until
she began using The Myself® Trainer to track her own progress.
“I was going to the bathroom every hour and getting up in the middle of the night,”
Sara recalled. “But, I never thought about it. I just thought because I had given
birth to four children this was going to be a part of my life.”
Sara also realized she was constantly looking for the nearest restroom on her way
to visit patients and leaking a little when she coughed. She began regularly using
The Myself® Trainer to improve her pelvic exercise routine
and track her improvement.
“No matter what you have learned about Kegel exercises, there is no substitute to
seeing what you are doing on a screen,” said Sara. “The real time feedback lets
you know how hard you are flexing and how long you are able to hold it. It gives
you that extra oomph and encouragement to know you are doing the exercises correctly.”

After using The Myself® Trainer, Sara stopped worrying about
coughing and noticed a significant improvement in her symptoms.* Even though she
practiced Kegels before using The Myself® Trainer, the immediate
feedback made a big difference and she found she was able to increase her muscle
strength.
“There is more to life than going to the bathroom,” said Sara. “I’m not going back
to that point in my life. It was so fabulous the first time I slept through the
night.”
In addition to reducing symptoms of incontinence, Sara noticed an improvement in
her sex life. Her husband noticed the difference too. She believes sex is better
now than it ever was, and that’s not something she is willing to give up.
Rachael, 36 years of age, Dallas, Texas
The Myself® Trainer Enthusiast
Rachael has been an athlete her entire life. In high school she played volleyball,
basketball and track, and in college she played a range of intramural sports. It
was during high school swim meets that Rachael realized she had a problem.
“I had to go to the restroom a lot during swim meets,” Rachael remembers. “I used
to curb drinking water all day to avoid going to the bathroom so I was not drinking
as much as I should.”
Rachael was also getting up several times during the night to use the bathroom.
It was Rachael’s mother who noticed she had a problem and recommended she try The
Myself® Trainer.
“I thought I had an over-active bladder,” said Rachael. “What I had was urge incontinence,
and over time with The Myself® Trainer I learned I could strengthen
my muscles to hold it longer and longer. Now I’m not worried and I drink more water
every day.” READ MORE
Rachael had never done Kegel exercises before using The Myself®
Trainer. With the product she was able to overcome the frequent urge to go and achieve
a better quality of life. She noticed a difference in a short time, and within a
year she could sleep through the night. She also says her partner can tell the difference
during sex.
Rachael continues to use The Myself® Trainer on a regular
basis and recommends it to her friends. If she notices her symptoms coming back
and that she is waking up during the night she increases her exercise with The
Myself® Trainer until her symptoms subside.
Isabelle, 65 years of age, The Northeast
Believer in The Myself® Trainer
Isabelle, a mother and grandmother, began experiencing bladder leakage in her 50’s
when she laughed, coughed or sneezed. As an avid golfer, when she could not make
it through a round of golf without stopping to use the bathroom and change her pad,
she decided it was time to see her doctor. A urologist referred Isabelle to a nurse
practitioner to learn Kegel exercises with biofeedback in the doctor’s office.
“When I finished my sessions with the nurse, she recommended I try The Myself®
Trainer at home,” says Isabelle. “I found it easy to use and logical. It gave me
the same feedback I was getting in the office; I could visually see what was happening
and if I was holding the exercise for long enough or releasing too early.”

After using The Myself® Trainer for six months, Isabelle started
to notice results. “I was looking for results on the golf course and I got to the
point that I didn’t have to change my pads on the golf course, then I moved to a
thinner pad,” explained Isabelle. “The Myself® Trainer strengthens
your muscles so they kick in automatically when needed. It improves muscle memory.
It’s the difference between doing a bicep curl without any weight and doing a bicep
curl with a 10lb weight.”
Today, in addition to golf, Isabelle also works out with a personal trainer twice
a week and focuses on abdominal exercises. She has found the combination of core
exercises with her trainer and using The Myself® Trainer by
herself at home has been very effective.
Isabelle has recommended The Myself® Trainer to her friends
and even her gynecologist. However, she says the topic of pelvic health can still
be difficult to talk about.
“I think this problem is one of the last women’s personal issues that is not openly
discussed yet,” says Isabelle. “I’m of the generation that went through the whole
women’s movement, through talking about periods and sex and orgasms, but this issue
is still not talked about. You do feel like this is something you don’t have control
over.”
After years of using The Myself® Trainer, Isabelle still wears
a very light pad and has symptoms occasionally when she sneezes, but she does not
have a problem when she laughs and doesn’t have to stop anymore while on the golf
course. If she notices her symptoms getting worse, she increases her exercise with
The Myself® Trainer until her symptoms improve again.
“My goal has always been to keep bladder problems under control. In 20 years I will
be an old lady but I won’t be an old lady in diapers!” said Isabelle. “Personally,
it is a really big confidence boost for me and I credit The Myself®
Trainer with possibly helping me avoid surgery.”
Diane, 71 years of age, California
Lifelong Kegels with Biofeedback Advocate
Diane began practicing pelvic muscle exercises soon after she was married. Her husband
was a doctor who studied under Dr. Kegel, the man who invented Kegel exercises (also
known as pelvic muscles exercises), when he was in medical school. To his credit,
Diane learned the value of Kegel exercises in the 1960’s and diligently practiced
the exercises through each of her four pregnancies.
In addition to being a mother and grandmother, Diane is also a nurse. Early in her
career she worked with new mothers to help them with breastfeeding through La Leche
League and later became a Lamaze teacher, where she taught women how to do pelvic
muscle exercises.
Even though she was practicing the exercises on her own, after giving birth to four
children and undergoing a hysterectomy, Diane began experiencing symptoms of incontinence
when she coughed or sneezed. She was also frequently getting up during the night
to go to the bathroom.
Diane learned about The Myself® Trainer in the 1990s and decided
to try it. READ MORE
“I wanted to try to avoid surgery,” said Diane. “I liked that it was easier to do
the exercises because I had biofeedback. My husband always said you have to do pelvic
muscle exercises 100 times a day, but I learned I was over doing it. The Myself®
Trainer helped because it guided me as to how much I needed to use it.”
After using The Myself® Trainer, Diane was able to strengthen
her muscles so she could sleep through the night without having to wake up to use
the bathroom. Using the The Myself® Trainer helped her to
do pelvic muscle exercises more effectively than she was doing them before on her
own.
“If I don’t use exercise these muscles regularly, I get symptoms again,” said Diane.
“I don’t use pads now, but if I didn’t use The Myself® Trainer
I would definitely need them.”
Diane continues to use The Myself® Trainer three times a week.
She keeps The Myself® Trainer in her bathroom and says it
helps her remember to make it part of her morning routine.
Diane is currently a practicing psychologist who works from home and still recommends
pelvic muscle exercises with biofeedback to her patients. She often sees women who
have lost their level of intimacy because they are not taking care of themselves
and these muscles. She urges women to practice these exercises because, according
to her, The Myself® Trainer can also be a husband’s best friend.
