Geisha ball or Emy Trainer: how to choose?
To strengthen the pelvic floor and fight against urinary leakage, two tools are often cited: geisha balls, used for centuries to stimulate the muscles of the perineum by reflex contraction, and the Emy Trainer connected perineal probe, a modern device, medically validated and designed to support women in their rehabilitation in a structured and motivating way.
If geisha balls can bring certain benefits by mechanical effect, they often lack precision, guidance, and especially monitoring.
In front, the Emy probe offers a measurable, fun and clinically supervised approach, accessible to everyone, even beginners.
Here is a detailed comparison between these two solutions to help you choose the one that suits you.

What to choose between Emy Trainer and geisha balls for your perineal rehabilitation?
THE geisha balls can appeal with their simplicity and affordable price. They are suitable for certain women who wish to test a mechanical stimulation without technological tools. But they require diligence, autonomy, and offer neither guidance nor monitoring of progress.
In contrast, the Emy Trainer perineal probe offers modern, validated and motivating support. Its application guides each session, sends reminders, displays the results, and offers more than 50 hours of additional content adapted to your perineum (yoga, sport, strengthening).
Its greatest advantage lies in the personalization of each session : the difficulty of each exercise is adapted to your strength of the day as well as your previous training results so that you are always in a dynamic of progression.
The technology of biofeedback of Emy Trainer allows you to be active and view in real time your contractions, directly on the screen of your smartphone.
This is a solution designed for active women, demanding, or simply eager to regain control of their body with confidence.
For effective, motivating and supervised rehabilitation, Emy Trainer is a complete and reliable alternative to traditional methods.
