Aquaflex Cones

What is Aquaflex?

Aquaflex is a clinically proven* pelvic floor exercise system consisting of two empty vaginal cones with a set of weights that can be added to the cones.

This system has been specially designed to help women who accidentally leak urine when laughing, coughing, sneezing or exercising. This condition is medically known as stress incontinence, but can also be known as a ‘weak bladder’.

70% of cases of stress incontinence can be improved or cured using weighted vaginal cones, such as Aquaflex, for just 20 minutes a day for 12 weeks.

Aquaflex Cones are discreet, with the largest similar in size to a super tampon. The cones can be taken apart to allow weights to be inserted. As your pelvic floor becomes stronger you will progress from using the larger cone without weights to the smaller cone with the maximum weights.

How Aquaflex works

When an Aquaflex Cone is inserted into the vagina, the pelvic floor muscles automatically contract around the cone giving immediate identification of the correct muscles. It is this reflex action that exercises and strengthens pelvic floor muscles.

Aquaflex is easy to use and only needs to be used for up to 20 minutes a day or until the muscles are tired. An exercise routine using Aquaflex can be easily established. While using Aquaflex, you can continue with your everyday activities as you build your pelvic floor muscle strength.

Who can Aquaflex help?

• Women who suffer with the symptoms of stress incontinence
• Women who want to tone their pelvic floor as a general health measure and who want to reduce the likelihood of stress incontinence or poor bladder control in later life
• Women who wish to prepare their pelvic floor for pregnancy (Aquaflex Cones should not be used during pregnancy)
• Women who want to get their pelvic floor back into shape after having a baby (it may be best to wait until you’ve been given the all clear at your postnatal check before you start using Aquaflex)

Aquaflex can be used at any time during the day to fit in with your schedule. It’s worth bearing in mind thought that as the days wears on, your muscles will become tired. So, if you exercise in the evening, you may not be able to hold as many weights or to exercise for as long as usual.

* of 30 women who completed one month of the exercises 70% found that they were improved or cured and 90% found it an acceptable method of treatment.
