At Fizimed, our absolute priority is to offer women intimate health solutions with impeccable medical efficacy, scientifically proven and validated by experts. The pelvic floor, this essential muscle layer at the heart of our daily well-being, deserves rigorous attention, especially during hormonal changes such as perimenopause when tissues tend to loosen. Today, we’re sharing Lou’s moving and inspiring story. Keen to adopt a serious method to stop urinary leaks that had become too disruptive and feel like herself again, she took the plunge with our Emy Trainer smart pelvic floor trainer. A beautiful story of self-reclamation, with a lovely nod to our local roots too!
Lou’s journey in a nutshell
- The wake-up call after stress urinary leaks: Thrown off balance by repeated leaks caused by a severe flu cough during perimenopause, Lou decided to act so she would no longer have to rely on disposable pads.
- A demand for scientifically proven effectiveness: Convinced by the seriousness and rigorous framework of Fizimed’s clinical studies, she chose Emy to benefit from professional results and an ultra-motivating app.
- Well-being regained in 2 weeks: Thanks to consistent training (5 times a week or more), Lou saw her pelvic floor tone transform, said goodbye to unpredictable gas, and regained control of her body through true pelvic floor training.
The choice of medical rigour and an Alsatian favourite
Lou is 46 and has been in perimenopause for 4 years. While she had already experienced a few temporary urinary leaks during allergy flare-ups, it was a recent bad bout of flu that triggered everything: “I coughed so much that it was leak after leak. I felt bad in myself, and I felt bad around my husband, who is adorable, but I needed to take action. I had noticed Emy, and I took the plunge because I needed it to stop and to feel like myself again. At my age, it’s not possible to no longer dare to feel comfortable without protection.”
To solve this problem, Lou didn’t want just a gadget. She was looking for a genuine medical solution: “I chose Emy because your studies show that everything has been properly supervised. I chose this method to get professional results.” On top of that, our local roots immediately resonated with her: “And I’m from Alsace, and so are you!”

Easy, fun, and motivating pelvic floor training
For Lou, getting started was “very easy”. The Emy app offers interactive mini-games based on real pelvic floor contractions. This is one of the biggest benefits of our biofeedback technology: “The games are fun. Seeing my progress is motivating.”
To get the most from the product, Lou trained very consistently, at a pace of 5 times a week or more. A her consistency paid off, as she noticed the first positive effects “within 2 weeks”.
Today, Lou is living life to the full again, even though she is taking her time with the final step: “For now, I haven’t taken the plunge and stopped wearing protection, even though I’m managing very well now. The advice in the app helps, and I engage my pelvic floor before sneezing or coughing. Thank you Fizimed, because I feel so much better now.”
Concrete benefits: a renewed overall tone
In addition to a better overall sense of wellbeing and perfect control during coughing fits, Lou noticed another major change in her intimate life: “Less unexpected wind.”
Indeed, during perimenopause, a lack of muscle tone can affect the entire pelvic floor. When the pelvic floor weakens, it no longer plays its role of closing properly, which can lead to involuntary vaginal or anal gas during movement or exertion. By retraining this area in depth, the Emy device helps effectively tighten the sphincters and permanently eliminate these taboo little discomforts, making it an excellent pelvic floor trainer to use at home.
The issue of urinary leaks
Year after year, the topic is becoming more open, but there is still a long way to go before every woman finds the right solution. As for the price of the device, Lou feels the investment is absolutely worth it to regain her comfort and dignity.
Delighted with her progress, Lou gives the Emy device a top score of 10/10. Reliable, simple and incredibly effective, this medical device has changed her everyday life. Her final message to all the women who are still hesitating to take the plunge? It comes down to one word: “Go for it!”
A huge thank you to Lou for this wonderful, heartfelt testimonial. Her victory over urinary leaks is proof that with consistency and the right tools, perimenopause can be approached with confidence and a smile!
What to take away from Lou’s experience
- Taking back control during perimenopause: Hormonal changes and everyday incidents (such as a bad flu cough) can weaken the pelvic floor. Using the Emy device helps repair these weaknesses quickly so you can regain confidence.
- Biofeedback as a source of motivation: Thanks to a fun interface that lets you track your progress visually, pelvic floor training at home with Emy Trainer becomes an easy, positive and rewarding habit.
- Adopting the right everyday habits: Beyond training sessions, the app teaches you the importance of tightening your pelvic floor (the well-known pelvic floor bracing reflex) before every effort (coughing, sneezing), ensuring natural, long-lasting protection.
