At Fizimed, we know that balancing life as a new mum with looking after your intimate health is a real everyday challenge. That was the challenge Claire, mum of two closely spaced children, had to face. She had been suffering from unintentional leaks when sneezing since her last birth. Thanks to using the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer at home, she was able to do her pelvic floor training effectively while fitting it around her very busy mum schedule and finally say goodbye to the discomfort of urinary leaks.
The key points from Claire’s story:
- An intense everyday life as a mum: Two closely spaced pregnancies (16 months apart) with no free time to do her pelvic floor training with a healthcare professional.
- A flexible at-home solution: Short, fun training sessions that are easy to fit in at home with Emy Trainer, right during the children’s nap time.
- Proven effectiveness in 3 weeks: Complete disappearance of exertion leaks and a visibly stronger pelvic floor.
Postpartum with closely spaced children: when the pelvic floor takes a back seat
For many women, back-to-back pregnancies leave the body little time to recover. Claire had two closely spaced children, born just 16 months apart. Between bottle feeds, short nights and looking after her two babies, she simply never found the time to book pelvic floor training sessions with a midwife or physiotherapist. The result? Since the birth of her second child, who is now 16 months old, Claire had been suffering from small urinary leaks whenever she sneezed.
At first, she tried to just "get on with it", but this stress urinary incontinence quickly became embarrassing in everyday life. While doing her research, she discovered the Emy Trainer device, a perfect alternative for starting pelvic floor strengthening that is effective and independent, adapted to the reality of new mums.
Emy: the ideal solution for the busy schedules of new mums
For Claire, booking regular appointments outside the home with two young children was mission impossible. The Emy method immediately won her over because it gave her the chance to do her training directly from home. It quickly became part of her routine: she does her exercises quietly at home, most often during her children’s nap time. The ultimate in convenience: the app offers short training sessions in the form of medical mini-games.
Even if one of her children is awake, Claire manages to fit in her training almost every day, with an impressive consistency of 5 times a week or more. She describes using the device as a moment that is both easy, interactive and highly motivating. It’s the ideal solution when family logistics are too demanding to travel to a clinic.

No more leaks in 3 weeks and a stronger pelvic floor
The consistency Claire paid very quickly. After using the device for a month, she realised that after just 3 weeks, her urinary leaks had completely disappeared! In addition to no longer dreading sneezes, she can clearly feel that her pelvic muscles have become firmer. The exercises on the app with biofeedback are becoming easier and easier to do as the days go by, proving the progress in her muscle strength.
Claire is completely won over by this connected solution. Although she notes that the device is a significant expense and is not reimbursed by social security, she says loud and clear that the investment "is well worth it to improve her quality of life". Thanks to this technology, she was able to avoid long-term discomfort and regain confidence with a top-performing pelvic floor.
Her advice to all the busy mums who are still hesitating? Don’t put up with intimate discomfort just because your schedule is packed. At-home self-guided recovery lets you progress at your own pace, without having to manage the logistics of taking a baby to a medical practice, and most importantly, it works! There’s no reason to keep letting it spoil your life. It’s no surprise that she gives the Emy device a perfect 10/10!
What to take away from Claire’s experience:
- Flexibility is key: The Emy Trainer smart pelvic floor trainer gives busy mums the chance to do their pelvic floor recovery at home, with no transport, time or childcare constraints.
- Fast, tangible results: Regular use (5 times a week) can lead to stress urinary leaks disappearing within just 3 weeks of use.
- An investment in yourself: Improving your quality of life and regaining a toned pelvic floor after closely spaced pregnancies is essential for protecting your future intimate health.
