Welcome!
Thank you for choosing Kegel8® Ultra 20. This
personal therapeutic device is designed to help
you strengthen your pelvic floor in the comfort of
your own home. Created especially for women,
the Kegel8® Ultra 20 is a safe and effective
neuromuscular stimulator (STIM) that works by
producing electrical pulses that gently stimulate
the muscles and nerve fibres in your pelvic area.
What Are the Benefits of Having a
Stronger Pelvic Floor?
The pelvic floor is a sling of muscles that run from
your pelvic bone (in the front) to your tailbone (in
the back). Think of these muscles like a hammock
that supports your reproductive organs, bladder
and lower bowels.
