Best Female Urinary Incontinence Device and Kegel Exerciser

Yes, Phlorena is FDA cleared for safety and effectiveness in treating stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence in women.

Most users report a noticeable reduction in bladder leaks within 4 weeks of consistent use (20-30 minutes per day).

While generally safe, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using any electrical stimulation device with a copper IUD. Mirena (plastic) IUDs are typically compatible.

While urinary incontinence devices are generally safe and non-invasive, minor side effects can occur, particularly if the device is used incorrectly or without proper lubrication. Because Phlorena uses NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) technology, it is important to understand the specific safety guidelines compared to passive devices.

Common, Minor Side Effects:

• Mild Muscle Fatigue: Since the device works out your pelvic floor muscles, you may feel a “soreness” similar to post-gym muscle fatigue. This is a sign the muscles are being activated but indicates you should stick to the recommended 20-minute session limit.

• Vaginal Irritation: Minor friction or dryness can occur if the device is inserted without water-based lubricant. Phlorena uses medical-grade silicone to minimize this risk.

• Tingling Sensation: Users of electrical stimulation devices may feel a tingling or buzzing sensation. This is normal, but if it becomes uncomfortable, the intensity setting should be lowered.

To ensure safety, medical guidelines recommend avoiding electronic pelvic floor devices in the following situations:

• Pregnancy: Do not use during pregnancy unless directed by a doctor.

• Implanted Electrical Devices: Do not use if you have a pacemaker or defibrillator.

• Active Infections: Avoid use during active urinary tract infections (UTIs) or vaginal infections.

• Post-Surgery: Wait until you have full medical clearance (usually 6 weeks) after childbirth or pelvic surgery.

• FDA Cleared: Our device has undergone rigorous testing for safety and efficacy.

   

• Hypoallergenic Materials: Made from 100% medical-grade, non-porous silicone to prevent bacterial buildup and allergic reactions.

• Auto-Shutoff: Programmed sessions prevent over-exercising the muscles.

Yes, our device is FDA-cleared and safe for long-term pelvic health maintenance. Unlike passive devices (like pessaries) that are worn internally throughout the day, Phlorena is an active therapy device used for just 20 minutes per session. This prevents the tissue fatigue or pressure sores often associated with 24/7 wearable devices.

Because Phlorena uses NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) to strengthen muscles, your usage should evolve as your pelvic floor gets stronger:

• Phase 1 (Strengthening): Use daily or as recommended (typically 3-4 times a week) for the first 6–12 weeks to build muscle tone.

• Phase 2 (Long-Term Maintenance): Once leaks have stopped, most users switch to a “maintenance mode,” using the device just 1–2 times a week to retain muscle strength without over-fatiguing the pelvic floor.

No, you do not need a prescription. The Phlorena Pelvic Health System is FDA Cleared as an Over-the-Counter (OTC) medical device, meaning it meets strict safety standards for home use without doctor supervision.

Where to Buy & Payment Options: You can purchase the device securely through the official Phlorena website.

Using HSA/FSA Benefits: Yes, Phlorena is 100% HSA and FSA eligible. You can use your Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account card directly at checkout to purchase the device using your pre-tax healthcare dollars. We also accept major credit cards and PayPal.

To ensure hygiene and extend the life of your device, it is important to clean Phlorena before and after every use. Because the device is made of non-porous medical-grade silicone, it is easy to sanitize using standard home supplies.

The 3-Step Cleaning Routine:

1. Wash: Gently clean the probe part of the device with warm water and mild, unscented antibacterial soap.

2. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove all soap residue, which prevents irritation during your next session.

3. Dry: Pat dry with a clean, lint-free cloth or allow it to air dry completely on a clean towel.

Important Safety & Maintenance Tips:

• Do Not Boil: Phlorena contains advanced internal electronics. Never boil the device or put it in the microwave to sterilize it.

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use alcohol, bleach, or acetone-based cleaners, as these can degrade the silicone surface over time.

• Proper Storage: Once dry, always store the device inside its included Charging Case. This keeps it protected from dust and ensures it is fully charged and ready for your next session.
