Perineal rehabilitation: Emy Trainer or vaginal rings, which to choose?
When it comes to strengthening your pelvic floor, several solutions are available, between medical approaches and mechanical devices. Among them, the vaginal rings (or exercise pessaries) are sometimes offered to support the perineum or hold the pelvic organs in case of slight organ descent. These rings can also, in certain cases, be used in rehabilitation protocols.
At the same time, the Emy Trainer perineal probe offers an active and guided approach via a mobile application. It allows voluntary contraction of the perineal muscles, with real-time monitoring, personalization of exercises and measurable progression.
These two options pursue a common objective: improve perineal tone, but their approaches, their comfort of use and their effectiveness are very different. Here is a comparison table to help you see things more clearly.

Emy Trainer or vaginal rings: what to choose for perineal rehabilitation?
THE vaginal rings can be useful in cases of organ descent or the need for mechanical support, but they are not designed to actively strengthen the perineum. Their use requires medical supervision, precise adjustment and does not allow one to evaluate one's progress or work on one's tone voluntarily.
Conversely, the Emy Trainer probe is designed to support women in active, motivating and personalized rehabilitation. Thanks to its intuitive application, its real-time feedback and its clinically validated exercises, it transforms an intimate process into a clear, secure and autonomous ritual.
For active, measurable and lasting work on the perineum, Emy Trainer is a much more complete solution than passively wearing a vaginal ring.
