Q&A Guide for Using Urinary Incontinence and Kegel Device from Phlorena

 1. How do I avoid being shocked when using the device?
Always insert the probe before increasing the settings. Insert at the lowest setting and then slowly increase. This prevents any sudden stimulation during insertion. Starting at a lower setting and gradually increasing intensity often helps your body acclimate and reduces the stinging feeling.

2. Do I need to trim hair in the area when using the device?
 Trimming isn’t required, but it can enhance your experience. Hair might block the electrodes from making full contact with your skin, reducing the device’s effectiveness.

3. Why does having long hair sometimes cause a shock?
Long hair can create an uneven surface, disrupting the flow of electrical current and causing a shocking sensation. Trimming or using a conductive gel can help prevent this.

4. How far should I insert the probe?
Insert the probe so the metallic plates are inside your area. Think of it like inserting a tampon—go as far as it feels comfortable for you.

5. The device feels too strong. How can I adjust the intensity?
Start with the lowest intensity setting and increase it gradually until it feels comfortable. It should never feel painful.

6. What should I do if I feel uneven stimulation?
Uneven sensations usually mean the probe isn’t placed securely. Ensure it’s inserted properly and the metallic plates are making good contact with your skin. If you’re using the app, it might even prompt you to adjust the placement.

7. Can I use the device during my period?
It’s safe, but some people prefer not to for comfort reasons. If you do use it, just make sure the probe is clean before and after.

8. How do I clean the device?
Use mild soap and water to clean the probe after each use. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the entire device in water.

9. How often should I use the device?
Twice a day, for about five days a week, is ideal. Stick to this routine for at least 12 weeks, and you’ll likely feel your muscles strengthening over time.

10. How often should I replace the probe?
Replace it every 1-2 years, depending on how often you use it. A worn probe may not work as effectively.

11. What settings should I use for the best results?
Start with the lowest setting and adjust slowly. There are specific settings for stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and toning. Experiment to find what works best for you.

12. Will using this device hurt?
No, it shouldn’t hurt. If it does, lower the intensity or stop using it. If discomfort continues, check in with your doctor.

13. What should I do if the device doesn’t turn on or work properly?
Check that the batteries are charged and installed correctly. Ensure all connections are secure and the probe is attached properly. If it still doesn’t work, consult the manual or customer support.

14. How long will it take to see results?
Most people notice improvements in bladder control and pelvic floor strength within 6-12 weeks of consistent use.

15. Why does my incontinence increase after my periods?
It’s likely due to hormonal changes, like a drop in estrogen, which can weaken pelvic floor muscles temporarily. Bloating and fluid retention can also put extra pressure on your bladder. Kegel exercises and staying hydrated can help manage this.
