At Emy, we dare to talk about the women's body, without taboo or prejudice. Today, we’re discussing postpartum pelvic floor recovery. We know that it can often be difficult to keep up with your training sessions. Once you’re immersed in the wonderful world of motherhood, time constraints are even more common. With the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer, you’ll find time for your pelvic floor.
Training your pelvic floor after childbirth… It’s talked about a lot, opinions are divided, and every woman has her own story. At Emy, in any case, we want every woman to be able to experience this period as well as possible! By recommending that they see a healthcare professional to learn how to contract the pelvic floor properly. Or by continuing to care for it thanks to Emy Trainer !
We’re lucky to receive more and more testimonials. Among them is Celine’s, better known as Maman Pavlova. Mum to a 3-year-old daughter, she wanted to get back the tone of her pelvic floor from before pregnancy. It seems that Emy Trainer helped her do just that…
The essentials of Celine’s journey:
- A common postpartum observation: Even though she completed her sessions with the midwife, Celine noticed a loss of sensitivity and reduced tone in her pelvic floor after giving birth.
- A fun at-home solution: Drawn in by the innovative concept and the video game feel of the app, she turned to the Emy Trainer pelvic floor training device to train at her own pace.
- Fast, lasting results: In just 15 days of use, she noticed a clear improvement in her pelvic floor tone, as well as less back pain.
Why did you want to try Emy Trainer?
I no longer had the same sensitivity as before my birth. Like many women, I did the training sessions with my midwife after my daughter was born. I found it a bit difficult and impersonal, even though it shouldn’t be. You’re overwhelmed at the start of motherhood, you end up with a newborn you can’t leave with anyone, and it’s very restrictive. I did still complete all my sessions, which some of my friends were unable to do, but unfortunately I didn’t feel much of a difference.
I thought that once the pelvic floor training sessions were done, you just had to get on with it, and I realised I wasn’t the only one. Some of my friends admitted that they no longer felt anything during sex and that they had leaks when they sneezed. For them, it’s normal, and talking about it remains difficult, even shameful.
Later on, I discovered that there were solutions for at-home pelvic floor training. Since I really wanted to keep going on my own, I researched the market and discovered Emy Trainer on Facebook. Thanks to my professional background from my marketing studies, I looked at the reviews, videos and articles, because before trying a product, I want to be sure I’ll like it.
Were you surprised by Emy Trainer?
I first downloaded the app after doing a lot of research and, as a huge geek, it was the video game side that attracted me. What I love is the playful aspect, the cute graphics and the colours that encourage you to push yourself. It’s very easy to use and truly accessible to everyone.
Once I started my training with the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer, I was surprised. I found it really physically demanding and thought, why is this so hard — they’re only games! But now it’s much easier.
That’s why I wrote an article about the product, because I’m convinced it can help many other women. I believe in freedom of expression, and that’s why I agreed to share my experience. Emy Trainer helped me balance motherhood and pelvic floor training.
How long did it take before you noticed improvements in your pelvic floor?
Very quickly. I’ve been using Emy for 3 months, with 2 training sessions a week. You say that most users notice changes after 3 weeks, but for me, I felt the difference after just 15 days. Also, since I often carry my daughter, I had back pain that has improved significantly since I started using the trainer.
I even recommended Emy to my followers who had urinary leaks, and they also saw major changes.
Some of my followers also criticised the price, because there are devices you can rent and that are reimbursed by social security. But for me, pelvic floor training needs to be part of your life for as long as you need it. On top of that, there’s the option to pay in three interest-free instalments, and when you think about the cost of pads these days, it quickly pays for itself.
At the beginning, what were your expectations?
I was lucky not to have urinary leaks after my pregnancy, but I did feel that my pelvic floor wasn’t as toned as before, and I wanted to get back a rock-solid pelvic floor.
When I started using Emy, my goal was to reach the gold medal in every game. That’s when you really notice the playful side of the app, because you can see your own progress.
What was the most significant benefit Emy brought you?
It helped me reclaim and find my pre-pregnancy body again. That was exactly what I wanted, and nothing more. The Emy trainer gave me the time to look after my pelvic floor while I was new to motherhood.
What you should take away from Celine’s testimonial:
- Successful body reconnection: Regular training helped her regain physical sensations and recover the tone of her pre-pregnancy pelvic floor.
- Essential scheduling flexibility: The ability to train at home offers the freedom you need to balance postpartum demands and self-care.
- Lasting prevention: Keeping up a pelvic strengthening routine remains essential throughout a woman’s life to prevent the discomfort linked to muscle laxity.
