Urinary leaks don’t affect just one type of woman. In France, 6.5 million of us experience urinary leaks. It therefore seems more urgent than ever to shine a light on this taboo, which should not really be a taboo at all.
Thanks to the testimonials from our users, we can confirm that a huge number of women suffer from incontinence. They’re called Johanna, Sandrine, Eve, Ghislaine… They’re not the same age, they have different family situations, some are sporty and others not, and not all of them have children…
In short, they’re all radically different, yet they use Emy to take back control of their pelvic floor and their bodies.
Today, Maëlle, a very young 26-year-old mum, has agreed to explain why she uses Emy Trainer
The key points from Maëlle’s story:
- A postpartum period marked by urinary leaks: After a labour that was induced and particularly long, Maëlle experienced significant urinary leaks from the very first weeks.
- A relapse after standard pelvic floor therapy: Despite training sessions with a midwife, once the follow-up stopped, the leaks came back, showing the need for ongoing pelvic-floor maintenance.
- Adopting the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer: Approved by her midwife, the at-home Emy Trainer solution helped her get rid of her leaks completely while doing fun exercises.
Maëlle, can you explain why you needed to use the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer?
After my birth, which was very long and had to be induced, I quickly realised I was having really significant urinary leaks. So I had my training sessions with a midwife. I was still leaking, but nothing like what I experienced right after giving birth.
Fifteen days after my training sessions ended, my leaks came back as before and I had to find a solution. I spoke to my midwife, who explained that this was fairly common and that I needed to keep training my pelvic floor.
How did you discover Emy Trainer?
I did some research and discovered the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer. It seemed to match what I was looking for. I waited to get the green light from my midwife, who thought it was great. In her view, it was the ideal solution to continue training at home.
How often do you use Emy Trainer?
I use it 4 to 5 times a week for 5 to 10 minutes and I no longer have any leaks at all! I find the app very fun, with a special preference for the fairground world!
Fishing for ducks, popping balloons with darts and spinning a Ferris wheel thanks to the strength of your pelvic floor... it’s unusual but so much fun!
Do you think urinary leaks are talked about enough?
Honestly, no. That’s why I wanted to share my story on your blog. When I try to talk about it around me, I can feel real discomfort at the mention of the subject, even though it affects so many women.
I want to say that urinary leaks are truly disabling and that they don’t only happen to women over 60!
What to remember from Maëlle’s testimonial:
- The persistence of post-birth symptoms: Urinary leaks after childbirth require regular maintenance of the pelvic floor over the long term, beyond the first medical sessions.
- The importance of consistency and follow-up: Regular training for 5 to 10 minutes, 4 to 5 times a week with the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer, helps you regain full urinary comfort.
- Breaking the taboo for young mums: Incontinence can affect women as young as 26, and it is essential to open up the conversation around pelvic health.
