Marie-Pierre is one of the people who wanted to join the Emy adventure from the very beginning. After finding the ad announcing that we were looking for “Super Testers” more than a year ago, Marie-Pierre wanted to join the Team Emy to help us improve our trainer every day. She agreed to share an open and honest testimonial to shed light on urinary leaks and on the effects of Emy Trainer in the short and longer term.
The essentials of Marie-Pierre’s journey:
- A long-standing battle with incontinence: After several unsuccessful attempts in the clinic and through other methods, Marie-Pierre looked for an effective, long-lasting alternative to her urinary leaks.
- Adopting the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer: Drawn in by the testing concept and the playful side of the exercises, she added the Emy Trainer pelvic floor training device to her daily routine.
- Tangible results on quality of life: Regular training helped her reduce her urinary leaks by 5 times and had a significant impact on her well-being and day-to-day spending.
Deciding to say goodbye to urinary leaks
Hello Marie-Pierre, can you introduce yourself to the Emy community?
Hello, I’m Marie-Pierre, a teacher. I’m 46 and I have 3 children aged 21, 18 and 5.
How did you hear about Emy?
I’ve had urinary leaks for years and, being a fighter by nature, I believe there’s always a solution. After trying traditional pelvic floor training with a physiotherapist, I also tried training with midwives, but the results didn’t last over time.
I also tried electrostimulation with shorts. I only used it about 3 times at most because this solution didn’t suit me at all and I couldn’t see how it could be effective. In short, I tried lots of techniques, including acupuncture, which really helped me. I started 2 years ago and it’s the solution that gave me the most noticeable results.
But I need to be convinced quickly, so I was always on the lookout for an even more effective solution.
I searched online and saw that Fizimed were looking for women to test the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer. That immediately motivated me because there was a clear framework and I had to test the product, share results, and explain the positive and negative aspects…
Regaining my pelvic floor tone since I started using the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer
So, what were your impressions after using Emy?
I immediately liked the fun, highly motivating way it works—going further, pushing myself, that’s part of my personality too. Having a framework and challenges to take on was extremely motivating (otherwise I give up quickly).
When did you notice the effects of Emy Trainer on your pelvic floor and urinary leaks?
I didn’t see the effects straight away. I had to stop using Emy Trainer for a month, and that’s when I noticed the difference. The leaks were less severe, and I didn’t have to change my sanitary pad several times a day. I can say that thanks to Emy Trainer, my leaks were reduced by 5 times. When you think about the cost of sanitary pads, that’s an incredible saving.
My routine with the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer
Do you have an Emy Trainer routine?
Yes, I make myself stick to a routine with Emy Trainer. At the moment I use it 1 to 2 times a week, whereas at the beginning I used it every other day. I went 3 months without using Emy and realised the leaks were coming back, so I picked up my routine again.
What to remember from Marie-Pierre’s testimonial:
- A fun and stimulating solution: The game-based approach of the Emy Trainer pelvic floor training device helps you stay consistent, a key factor in successful pelvic floor training.
- An economic and environmental impact: By reducing urinary leaks by 5 times, she significantly cut down her use of sanitary pads.
- The need for regular maintenance: Strengthening the pelvic floor requires ongoing care over the long term to preserve continence and urinary comfort.
