You may already know that pelvic floor training is extremely important in a woman’s life, and especially after giving birth.
Did you know how many women are affected by urinary incontinence? Around 16% of women who gave birth by C-section and 21% of those who gave birth vaginally suffer from urinary leaks.
So no, you’re not the only one, and it’s important to talk about it! Eva* has given birth to 4 children, and her story may help you break the taboo around this issue.
The key takeaways from Eva’s journey
- The trap of not having enough time: A busy mum of four, this woman in her thirties put off her postpartum training sessions until urgent needs and urinary leaks caught up with her three years later.
- Breaking a family taboo: A deliberate effort to open up the conversation with loved ones and break the silence that still too often surrounds abdominal and pelvic health.
- The breakthrough of modern self-care: Discover how using the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer at home became her ideal solution for relearning how to feel and contract her deep muscles.
Getting motivated to do your pelvic floor training
Can you introduce yourself and tell us why you started using Emy Trainer?
I’m 35 and a mum of 4 children (12 years old, 10 years old, 8 years old and 3 years old). After my first 3 births, I did pelvic floor training with a pelvic floor trainer with a physiotherapist. I didn’t have any particular problems, everything went very well. However, after my 4th birth, I didn’t do the training sessions prescribed by the gynaecologist. I can’t really tell you why, but I think it was because I lacked motivation, or maybe I told myself I could put it to the back of my mind and that I had time. But time passes, and life and work get back on track. And 3 years after my last birth, I was often rushing to the toilet, and I had also noticed the appearance of urinary leaks.

Say goodbye to urinary leaks with Emy Trainer !
When did you first notice the effects of the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer on your pelvic floor?
Before using the trainer, I couldn’t feel the muscle in my pelvic floor. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and today I can say that it’s a muscle I can contract with or without the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer.
In fact, I no longer rush to the toilet and I don’t have leaks anymore!
Do you think urinary leaks are talked about enough?
No, because I’m the first person to talk about it around me, even though I have a large family. And it was by talking with my loved ones that I no longer felt alone facing this problem. We need to talk more about women’s urinary incontinence in the postpartum period.
The women we meet often tell us that Emy Trainer is too expensive, what do you think?
For the results you get quickly, no, it’s not expensive because health comes first. Plus, paying in 3 instalments makes choosing this investment easier.
