Two approaches, two philosophies: what to choose between the electrostimulation probe and the Emy perineal probe
When it comes to re-educate your perineum, several medical solutions exist. Among them, the electrostimulation probe uses electrical impulses to automatically trigger muscle contractions, without conscious effort.
In contrast, the Emy Trainer perineal probe focuses on active and fun engagement: the user voluntarily contracts the muscles by following exercises guided via an intuitive mobile application.
Both methods have the same objective: strengthen the pelvic floor.
But their approaches are radically different. Electrostimulation is a method passive, impersonal and sometimes unpleasant, while Emy Trainer offers a more motivating, interactive and personalized framework. Here is a clear comparison to understand which one best suits your needs.

What to choose between Emy Trainer and an electrostimulation probe?
THE electrostimulation probes may be suitable for users who want a completely passive method, without voluntary effort.
However, they involve a more restrictive installation, possible discomfort due to impulses, and offer neither monitoring nor motivation.
Conversely, the Emy Trainer probe focuses on an approach more active, more engaging, and more accessible : the user regains awareness of their perineum, progresses at their own pace, and clearly visualizes their results. All in a validated, discreet medical setting, and 100% usable at home.
If you are looking for a modern, comfortable and motivating solution, Emy Trainer stands out as a complete alternative that respects your pace.
