Product Description
Product Description
Be free to live an active life. One in four women experiences a degree of incontinence after giving birth, and anyone can suffer from the condition at any time of their lives. Despite this prevalence, it can be debilitating, embarrassing, unpleasant and seldom discussed, and very few sufferers seek any sort of treatment or help. However, this common condition can be easily treated.
Physiotherapists and doctors recommend pelvic floor exercises to help improve levels of continence, but often these are not enough on their own, and it is very difficult to know exactly which muscles need to be exercised--in some cases the muscles may be so weak that they are unable to perform simple movements in the first place. Some women are unable to voluntarily exercise the pelvic floor muscle themselves and require assistance. This is when the itouch sure is required, playing a vital role in locating and exercising the muscle for you. The itouch Sure is the ideal way to build up strength in the pelvic floor, and results can be seen in as little as a few weeks.
The itouch Sure unit uses gentle electrotherapy to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles into regaining their strength and flexibility. Using a vaginal probe, it delivers electrical impulses which target the correct location. The pulses are not painful, but produce a mild tingling sensation. Best of all, itouch Sure does not have any side-effects, requires no drugs, and can reduce or even eliminate the need for surgery.
In particularly severe cases, electrotherapy may be the only way to initiate the recovery of your pelvic floor. itouch Sure is suitable for women suffering from any of the three types of incontinence: stress, urge and mixed.
Using itouch Sure will not only improve continence levels, therefore raising your confidence and general comfort, but will also help to enhance your sexual health. A strong pelvic floor will allow you to do all of the activities unhindered and without worry which, in the past, you may have taken for granted; jumping, laughing, carrying children, sneezing, running, sex, and countless more.
The itouch Sure should be used for 20 minutes each day, ideally during any seated activity, for a two-month period. After this time, considerable improvement should be apparent, although many women choose to continue using the machine after this time. Designed with ease-of-use in mind the device features 4 clinically proven programmes to exercise the muscle according to the type of bladder weakness you experience; stress, urge, mixed or tone. The kit comes with full instructions as well as a helpline for further information (call 01372 723 434). The unit is guaranteed for two years (this does not cover consumables such as batteries and electrodes).
Getting your life back on track is easy, simple, discreet and pain-free. Why wait any longer?
Important: Hold button for a few seconds to switch on. Be aware the unit switches off when not in use.

As a middle aged woman who's had surgery & takes prescribed meds for incontinence (both without 100% success), this was a last-ditch attempt for which I didn't have any great hopes. I'm delighted to say I was wrong - only a few weeks in, & the difference is notable. I've stopped taking my meds & don't need to wear pads every day. After experimenting, I've discovered that, for me, the MIXED programme is much less effective. Although it's recommended for cases of urge & stress (like mine) I've got much better results from a daily session of URGE followed by one of STRESS. I've made it part of my nightly routine - I use the exerciser while I'm reading in bed before sleeping - so it doesn't intrude on my life. DO heed the instructions to start at a low setting if you don't have much sensation in the pelvic floor - sensation will come back really quickly & then you can build up the power setting. Learn from my mistake: I was impatient & started off much too high - & the resulting strained muscles meant I had what felt like really bad period pains the next day.
Only minor criticism is that the instructions don't give any clue as to maximum recommended power, saying you should be guided by your own tolerance levels. Since my pain/discomfort threshold is really high, that's not much of a guide. I assume the unit only operates within safe levels, but it would have been good to have it in black & white. That minor niggle, however, is not enough to give this life-transforming gadget anything less than five stars.

Wished I had bought this ages ago, only had it a few weeks but I can really feel the muscles working,I find 20 mins on Urge setting then 20 mins on Stress setting works best (I have mixed).

Bought this device five weeks ago. Developed both stress and urge incontinence very suddenly following a chest infection and the resultant cough, cough, coughing. Suddenly I was finding that after I had passed urine, I would stand and more urine would pour out uncontrolled.I couldn't stop and start passing urine as I had been able to do in the past, I couldn't stop it at all once I had started. I was no longer able to hold my bladder for more than a couple of hours, I was wearing sanitary protection all the time. Every sneeze, cough or sudden laugh would ensure a squirt of wee. I was mortified. I kept on doing normal pelvic floor exercises but felt no improvement whatsoever. Also, more worryingly, when I bent down, I could feel a deep dragging sensation as though something was bulging or out of place. I suspect this was the start of a prolapse. I read the reviews on this product and decided to buy. Initially it made me feel a bit queasy/anxious having something electrical inside myself and I was scared that the sensations would be too uncomfortable. However, I found I could tolerate a setting of 45ish and then within days I had built up to the maximum 99.5. I use it prior to bed most days for 20 minutes.Initially I would use it for 20 minutes before work too as it seemed to help get rid of the dragging bulging sensation. Sometimes I set it for 90 minutes and doze off to sleep. I initially used the stress setting but have found the mixed setting definitely works best for me. Anyway....the dragging heavy sensation has completely gone. I can now hold my bladder for 5-6 hours, which is back to normal for me. I still can't stop my urine flow on demand but from not being able to stop it at all, I am able to stop it after around 5 seconds. If I prepare myself prior to sneezing, I can now stop a leak. Laughing still catches me out a little but I no longer need to use sanitary towels all the time. The product information says you can expect results after 8 weeks but already it has changed my life. Definitely highly recommended.
