Manual contractions of the perineum: more effective than the Emy connected probe?
Working on your perineum every day, simply with voluntary contractions: is this sufficient compared to using a connected probe like Emy Trainer?
Manual contraction of the perineum – also called free Kegel exercise – consists of voluntarily contracting the pelvic floor muscles, without device or guidance, often during the day. This method has the advantage of being free, spontaneous and can be done anywhere.
But to be effective, it requires excellent body awareness, regularity and rigorous execution. In comparison, the Emy connected perineal probe Hang out offers a structured program, immediate visual feedback, evolving levels and motivating reminders, to promote lasting engagement.
So, which method should you choose? Here is a point by point comparison.

Should you choose manual contractions or the Emy Trainer probe to strengthen your perineum?
THE manual contractions are ideal for those who already master their perineum, know how to isolate the muscle well, and can maintain a rigorous program without external guidance. They are accessible to everyone, cost nothing, and can complement another method.
But in reality, many women struggle to feel their perineum correctly, to motivate themselves or to know if they are training effectively. This is where the Emy Trainer probe makes all the difference : she gets the job done clearer, more precise, more engaging, and guarantees real progress monitoring.
Emy Trainer is therefore the most complete, reliable and comfortable solution for those who want concrete results, in complete autonomy and without risk of error.
