How to use your Kegel8 Cones - Getting started


It's important to make sure that the toners are washed in hot, soapy water, rinsed in clean hot water and dried gently with a lint-free cloth or tissue before every use. It's also important to ensure you are able to exercise these muscles correctly. Follow the instructions below to check: a) Lie down on the floor or bed, having removed your underwear. Take the large pale pink toner with the indicator clip still attached (see diagram 1) and insert it (like a tampon) into your vagina, until the halfway 'bobble' is just about touching the outer lips of the vagina. The end should be pointing upwards (see diagram 2). If the toner is too big, try the medium toner instead.

b) Once you have found the toner you feel most comfortable with, contract/tighten your pelvic floor muscles around it. You do this by pretending you are trying to control wind or stop passing urine mid-stream. It's as if you are lifting the muscles up inside you. If you are exercising the correct muscles you will see the tip of the end of the toner move downwards (see diagram 3).

If the end is moving upwards it's an indication that you are tightening the wrong muscles. Try again, until you are able to perform the exercise correctly.

When you are sure you have achieved this, you need to find the heaviest toner you can keep in while standing still for one minute. If you wish, you can now remove the indicator clip from the toner.

c) Take the same-sized toner as you used in steps a and b and assume a standing position with your knees slightly bent. Insert the toner into your vagina as before. It may help to raise one foot while you are doing this, but return to your original standing position when it is successfully inserted.

d) Try to hold the toner in for one minute. If it starts to fall out, then this is the right size and weight for you to start exercising with your 'Starter Toner'.

e) If the toner is still in place after five minutes then you need to try a smaller, heavier toner. Your 'Starter Toner' should be one you can only just keep in for one or two minutes, while standing.

f) If you can't keep any of the toners in place, then you need to return to step 'a' and go through the process again. If you continue to have problems, seek professional assistance, your GP or Nurse will be able to help.

g) When you have identified your 'Starter Toner', you are ready to start exercising.
