11 best pelvic floor trainers to tone and tighten your muscles

The vSculpt uses light, heat, and vibration to tone your pelvic floor and help improve vaginal dryness. One trial found 90 per cent of women had an improvement in bladder leakage after using it for ten minutes a day, every other day, for six to eight weeks.

Customer review: "The vSculpt is pricey and looks quite daunting, but it’s actually quite comfortable to use. It heats up gently and you can adjust the vibration levels to suit you. You'll feel that your muscles have definitely had a workout and I like that the treatment time is so short."

The Elvie Trainer is the smallest pelvic floor trainer available. It connects to an app on your smartphone to take you through a series of six unique pelvic-floor exercises and even tells you how well you're doing. This award-winning trainer is a fun and effective tool for building strength in your pelvic floor.

Customer review: "If you’re confident using your smartphone the Elvie is hard to beat. Once you’ve downloaded the app, the discreet pelvic floor machine connects to your phone via Bluetooth. A gemstone icon appears on the screen and as you squeeze your muscles the icon moves up and down. You’re prompted to use your pelvic floor to move the icon through six different workouts. The app reminds you to ‘workout’ for five minutes, three times a week, and I soon saw results."

With six weights included ranging from 50g to 130g, this will take you from beginner level through to expert level, easing you into your daily Kegal workouts. Use for just 15 minutes per day to improve bladder control and build strength.

Customer review: "I had never used Kegel balls before purchasing this set and I have to admit that it took a little convincing from a friend to actually get them out of the box and give them a try. However, even from the first go, they were super easy to use (the pear shape makes for easy insertion and the various weight options gives flexibility in intensity). After a couple of weeks of use, I can definitely feel a difference in my pelvic floor. I've been trying to build strength in this area for various reasons and incorporating Kegel balls into my routine has definitely helped - it's essentially turbocharged my workouts! The Kegel balls themselves are also really cute and beautifully presented in a smart storage box."

If you would prefer to train your pelvic floor using at-home exercises, a brilliant exercise tool is the LegMaster Slim Pelvic Floor Trainer. It works to tone the inner thighs and glutes to help combat incontinence.

Customer review: "Hi I'm a 58 year old woman and I'd heard good things about this product for the pelvic floor. As most ladies nay admit bladder incontinence is a real thing I had bought an electronic version of this and though I cannot say it was bad this product is way so much better. It's unbelievable I wish I truly wish I had known about this earlier. It's hard work but I noticed a real improvement within 3 weeks. I can now go out without having a list of toilets in my phone . Very happy."

The Intimina pelvic floor trainer is a similar trainer to the Elvie but more than half the price. The device pairs with an app that helps you through each pelvic floor exercise so you can really know you're doing it correctly.

Customer review: "I bought the Kegel Smart because I was looking for a solution to some leak issues that I was beginning to have, especially when sneezing or working out. After about a month I realized that not only had I gone over two weeks without soaking a panty liner, but I was enjoying sex with my boyfriend more as well. When I asked him he said that he had noticed I was having stronger contractions. So that was an unexpected and happy bonus!"

This single-channel TensCare iTouch Sure Pelvic Floor Exerciser provides relief via a tampon-shaped probe. It uses gentle electrotherapy to stimulate pelvic floor muscles into regaining their strength and flexibility. It delivers electrical impulses which target the correct location. Use it for 20 minutes each day during any seated activity for a two-month period.

Customer review: "I'm really pleased with this machine. After three kids and never having done a kegal exercise, I'd started to struggle when I sneezed or coughed. I noticed some improvements after using the Tens Care for a week. It's good because there's no effort involved, you just pop it in and it does the work for you. There's different programs and instructions on which is best, according to your issue (I use the stress program). There's also different time settings to work up to. Occasionally it moves from the correct position - I know this because it feels weird or slightly uncomfortable - but it's easy to notice that it's not quite right and to reposition. I've now had it about a month and I'm using it on lower and lower settings (meaning my muscles can feel it more easily than before). I spent a very long time researching which machine to buy, and I'm really happy that I chose this one."

These Kegel balls are great for multitasking — just pop one in and go about your normal day. There are three different balls to use in the Intimina Laselle Weighted Exerciser Set for different resistance levels, suitable for beginners to more advanced users. They're seamless and simple to clean and come with a storage pouch too.

Customer review: "The product was as described and very easy to use. Upon first glance and feel I was unsure how it would work, but it was easy and after a few minutes you don't even notice it's there. Because pelvic floor laxity is a big problem in women as they age, this product certainly is an easy way to stimulate those muscles to work and contract without having to think about it constantly. I found it to be well made and would definitely recommend it!"

These Kegel + Vaginal Exercise Weight By Kegel8 exercise balls come with three progressive sizes and gradual weight increments to help you gain a stronger, more controllable pelvic floor that has no leaks and better intimate sensation.

Customer review: "Surprisingly useful. When you do kegels using these cones, you feel "stronger" right after exercising. I didn't feel that without the cone. It also provides visual feedback that could be useful for those who are uncertain about the right movement. I was afraid that it will fall out, but it didn't."

Say goodbye to boring and complicated exercises and get quick results, thanks to the Perifit - Pelvic Floor Exerciser with App's fun exercises. You just need to connect the probe to the app via Bluetooth, and you can watch your pelvic floor contractions in real-time.

Customer review: "A little embarrassing, but I had started to dribble a bit when walking, especially if we'd had a drink. I'm 46, not a big drinker, but I found one fruit cider and this would happen and hill walking was a nightmare. I've been using the perifit for a month now, only missed one day. The first week no difference, despite a steady improvement in my scores. Second week I thought things had improved though my symptoms fluctuate over the month (with hormones I guess). Now I have done a month and no leaks at all over the past few weeks I can confirm that this has definitely worked for me. The price is steep, though definitely worth it as it has fixed the problem and I really didn't want to think about what would happen if it got worse as I'm not ready for a life of Tena Lady, I also imagine that the ongoing cost of such things surpasses the cost of a Perifit. I quite enjoy playing the games and 15 minutes while my husband reads the sport news in bed each morning is nothing."

With over 5,000 reviews on Amazon, these Intimate Rose Kegel Balls for Women are a popular choice. You'll know if you're not quite doing the exercises right as you'll feel the weight begin to slip out. It comes with six different weights so you can choose the one that's right for you.

Customer review: "I bought these as I had (had, not have!) some leaking when I run. I have used these twice a day for two weeks, and the problem has been fixed. I use the two heaviest weights; the heavier one if I only have 5-10 minutes to mooch around after getting up or preparing for bed, and one weight lighter if I have a bit more time to spare. Comfortable and easy to use. Can't recommend enough for cinching up your pelvic floor."

With its unique shape, this Intimate Rose Pelvic Wand can access the deep, hard-to-reach muscles that other pelvic floor trainers can't get to. The wand is made from firm yet soft silicone that is BPA and latex-free, so ideal if you are allergic.

Customer review: "This has helped me after one use! I fractured my coccyx 3 years ago and the pain has been persistent. I have had physio, chiropractor, steroid injection and medication. The pain still persists and comes back. After a lot of reading about internal procedures (via rectum) I decided to try it. I'm so glad I did. After using it I didn't really know if I had done it right and felt a bit disheartened (and a bit sore) however, the next day I have sat down with a significant reduction in my pain. This is so worth the money to say how much I have spent on this injury over the years. I feel like my tight sore muscles have been freed! Thank you."
