TONE:
Shown on the screen as:"TONE"
Having restored your pelvic floor muscles to an
excellent condition you will want to keep them
toned and strong. Regular use of this programme,
about twice a week, will ensure that your
muscles remain toned. The sensation
using the Tone programme is a mixture of a
strong drawing in of the muscles and then
releasing. The programme repeats the sensation.
Strong pelvis floor muscles may increase sexual
pleasure.
GENERAL POINTS
i) The Stress, Mixed and Tone programmes exercise the pelvic floor
muscles. The sensation is like a strong drawing in of the muscles of the
vagina, pulling up of the pelvic floor. The muscle MUST contract in order
to be beneficial. Increase the strength as high as is comfortable, and then
take it back down one step. The level required varies widely between users
- some will use the "itouch Sure" at full power - 99.5.
ii) It is advisable not to 'overdo' it early on. As long as you can feel the
contraction, it is working. You can build up slowly over a number of days.
With the first few sessions the muscles may ache the next day- the same
reaction you would get with any unaccustomed exercise. With the pelvic
floor, this gives a 'cramping' feeling. If this happens, stop using your
"itouch Sure" until the aching goes away, then start again using a lower
strength and a shorter treatment time. As the pelvic floor begins to
improve, it will be possible to maintain the stimulation forlonger.

iii) The Urge programme works differently. There is no need to have a
contraction. As long as you can feel the stimulation easily, it is working.
You may need to increase the strength during the treatmentsession.
iv) For best results in the stress and mixed programmes try to contract the
pelvic floor muscles along with the "itouch Sure", and to sustain the
when
contraction into the rest interval. If possible, link the contraction to your
breathing in order to get into a gentle rhythm.
v) Once the pelvic floor has been strengthened using the "itouch Sure",
continue to exercise the pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor needs to be
worked and reacts very well tosuch exercises.
vi) The length of each session for muscle strengthening will also depend
on your ability to contract and your resistance to fatigue. Be careful not to
overuse early on, as the resulting aches may not be felt until the next day.
vii) All programmes cycle between "work" and "rest" to allow your
muscles to recover in between contractions. During the "rest" period, the
strength display flashes 00.0.
viii) When you change the strength setting, this cycle stays on "work"
until you stop pressing the buttons for more than 5seconds.
ix) The usages mentioned for each programme are guidelines only, and
may be altered depending on your personal needs.
