Johanna, a 25-year-old young mum, is one of the 40 Super Testers of the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer. She agreed to share her story to encourage and help other women dare to take back control of their pelvic floor. Since using Emy Trainer, she has got her pelvic floor back in top shape!
The essentials of Johanna’s journey:
- A delicate family legacy: At just 25, Johanna had to deal with a family history of pelvic floor weakness after her pregnancy to get her pelvic floor back in top shape.
- The failure of traditional methods: Despite manual rehabilitation and electrostimulation, her pelvic floor remained too relaxed before she started using the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer.
- A quick win against laxity: In just 2 to 3 weeks of exercises at home, she noticed major improvements and got her pelvic floor “back in top shape”.
“I was on the beach, and I said, ‘wahoo! Mum, my tampon is staying in!! Thankfully there were no French people there, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed!”
My life before Emy Trainer
When did you become aware of your pelvic floor problem?
It was more in my teens, because there’s a history in my family of pelvic floor weakness, so of organ prolapse. I was aware of it before my pregnancy, but after my pregnancy, it was a major disaster. I dealt with the problem straight away. My midwife told me about the device shortly after I started my rehabilitation. I was absolutely determined to avoid having to undergo pelvic floor surgery.
How would you describe this problem?
Embarrassing, in everyday life.
Were you scared of the situation?
At 25, having pelvic floor problems is pretty awful. I’d already thought to myself: “Blimey, if I end up with organ prolapse at 30, what will I have at 40 or 50?”
So yes, mentally it was very hard. I own it, but you have to find ways to deal with your problems. So I found THE solution

Why did your pelvic floor problem happen?
For me, it was mainly my pregnancy that played a role. My pelvic floor became completely relaxed, from A to Z. I didn’t even have the ability to hold in something as simple as a tampon.
I had to take care of the problem straight away.
In everyday life, I don’t really have a problem because it’s really only when I need to wear protection. It also got a little better with my partner.
But now, there’s no problem at all.
Before the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer, what solutions were suggested?
I went to see my midwife. I did manual rehabilitation. I did electrostimulation rehabilitation. And the result was always the same. It was always just as…loose.
So I told myself I needed to find another option. So my midwife told me about Emy Trainer.
The state of my pelvic floor since I started using the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer
With the Emy Trainer, how long did it take before you felt a difference?
I noticed improvements after just 2-3 weeks. I realised it because I was able to hold a tampon!
What are the benefits of using the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer?
The advantage is that you can use it at home, whenever you want. You can also choose the frequency depending on the app. I did it 3 times a week.
As soon as I had 5 minutes, I knew I could do it at home спокойно.
I could relax. I didn’t have any appointment constraints with one practitioner or another. You can choose the duration you want. If I wanted to do it for 4 months, I did it for 4 months.
Then I took a 2-month break. I can start again for 4 months afterwards without any problem. Since I’ll have the trainer at home, at home.
Emy, in 3 words?
Brilliant. Innovation. And thank you! Because thanks to Emy Trainer, I avoided pelvic floor surgery.
What to remember from Johanna’s testimonial:
-
An alternative to passive methods: Switching from electrostimulation to the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer enabled Johanna to actively work her muscles, finally delivering results where standard sessions had plateaued.
-
A rapid physical transformation: By training only 3 times per week at home, she regained sufficient tone in less than a month to no longer experience the leaks linked to the complete relaxation of the pelvic floor.
-
Independence as a driver of success: The ability to train without any time constraints and to have Emy Trainer at home for life makes it possible to maintain a top-performing pelvic floor over the long term.
