Frequently Asked Questions about Perifit

YES, YES, YES. Pelvic floor training is a powerful tool to cure symptoms from stress incontinence, urge incontinence, nocturnal incontinence, and mixed incontinence.

Note! Getting a diagnosis with a health practitioner to determine the root cause of your incontinence symptoms will help you maximize the chances of using the most effective treatment for you.

Your ability to contract your pelvic floor is as important as your ability to relax it. Perifit helps you reach a healthy state of your pelvic floor thanks to the relaxation phases during the games in each training program.

However, if your pelvic floor needs are focused solely on relaxation (people with overactive pelvic floor or muscle spasms for example), Perifit will not be the best product for you. We advise reaching out to a specialist to get advise on relaxation-focused techniques.

We invite you to refer to this page for further explanation.

NO. As of today, even though we are very much aware of pelvic floor disorders such as vaginismus, dyspareunia, or vulvodynia, our product is not the best solution to treat these.

If the size of the Perifit doesn't create discomfort, and with a heavy focus on relaxation during the Kegels, it won't do harm.

However, if the Kegels are centered around contraction with too little attention to fully letting go after the contraction, it may result in further tightening of the pelvic area.

YES, BUT ... After a hysterectomy, it's essential to ensure that the internal organs are supported, your bladder and bowel function correctly, and that the risk of having a prolapse is minimized.

However, you should first get your surgeon's approval. For most women, this is approximately 4-6 weeks after the hysterectomy. But this may vary from one woman to the next according to the surgical procedure and overall hysterectomy recovery.

IN SOME CASES... Pelvic floor training can be useful for treating some types of recurrent UTIs. Discuss with your health practitioner to find out whether it can help with yours.

In addition to washing the Perifit and your hands before each use, we recommend that you also clean the skin around the anus and the genital area. This will lower the risk of triggering a UTI when using Perifit.

YES. The main group of muscles trained with Kegel exercises is called the levator ani. It is responsible for "closing" the urethra, the vagina, and the rectum and it is controlled by a single innervation.

So, when all three areas are functional (as could be checked by your physiotherapist), training one will train the two others. Thus, although Perifit gets its squeezing information from the vagina, it is actually measuring the contractions of the levator ani and thus training all three areas.

YES. When you move in an unusual way (i.e. during a yoga pose) or when your partner thrusts during sex, air is pumped into the vagina. The rapid expulsion of this air produces a "fart-like" sound.

In a way, we could laugh it off; however, if this occurs frequently, it may be a warning sign that the tone of your pelvic floor muscles is weak.

Strengthening one's pelvic floor with Perifit is the best way to recover muscle tone and minimize any "looseness" in the vagina.

Whether or not you wish to use Perifit on your period is entirely up to you. There is no reason not to, and many users find they want to.

Additionally, it's worth noting that throughout your cycle, your scores may vary. It's nothing to worry about, though, as this is just a natural fluctuation in your strength as part of your monthly cycle.

YES. Perifit communicates with your device using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). BLE waves are 1000 times less powerful than those emitted by a regular 4G smartphone. As of today, BLE is even used in pacemakers and other implanted devices.

However, as a precaution, we recommend that, just like your smartphone, you keep Perifit at least 15cm away from your implanted device.

No. Perifit is a biofeedback device and contains no electro-stimulation. You are the one contracting voluntarily your pelvic floor. Biofeedback allows you to visualize your contractions to make sure they are of good form and access a more effective training.

Note that people with a traumatized pelvic floor (very weak) can require electro-stimulation prior to voluntary moving to pelvic floor training. Reach out to your health practitioner if you require more information.

Perifit has been designed to be exceptionally safe to use.

- 100% waterproof design
- Medical-grade silicone to prevent allergies and irritations
- BPA free, Phthalates free, and EA free
- Independent quality testing of each Perifit before shipping
- FDA registered (U.S.), CE registered (E.U.)

Perifit is a certified Class 1 medical device under norm ISO 13485.

Perifit is an FDA registered device which is 100% safe to use. It leverages non-ionising Bluetooth Low Energy waves from its tail which remains outside of the body at all times.

Bluetooth is considered the safest wireless emissions, 1,000 times less powerful than standard 4G waves. This is the reason why Bluetooth is used in most wireless medical devices. Bluetooth Low Energy, used in the Perifit, produces emissions on average 3 times lower than standard Bluetooth.

None! Perifit is a biofeedback device and you are the one contracting voluntarily your pelvic floor muscles.

What's more, the Bluetooth technology used is BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), which is very common among medical products.

BLE technology has not been found harmful to humans and fetuses by scientists and is 4,000 less powerful than your smartphone for example.

We do not recommend the use of Perifit if:
1. You have an allergy to medical-grade silicone or a strong allergy to nickel.
2. You are pregnant.

You can be cleared in using Perifit but should seek a health professional advice first if:
1. You present signs of hematuria (blood in your urine), bleeding from the anus, or bleeding after sexual intercourse.
2. You suffer from severe pelvic pain or muscle spasms or the appearance of a mass or lump in the pelvis.
3. You have neurological issues such as reflex modifications, numbness, loss of sensitivity.
4. You have a moderate to severe prolapse, and you have not yet
consulted a medical professional.
5. You have a recent history of recurrent Urinary Tract Infection.
6. You suffer from continuous urine loss or incomplete bladder voiding.
