Does this sound familiar? You sneeze, laugh or jump, or you suddenly feel an urgent need to go to the toilet – and then it happens… Involuntary urine loss can be extremely unpleasant, and many people affected feel ashamed and socially restricted. But the good news is that you can actively do something about it! Find out how MyPelvi pelvic floor training can help you regain control.
What really helps with incontinence?
Have you already looked into measures for incontinence, only to find incontinence pads or Kegel exercises? Do not worry, MyPelvi will not leave you to cope with your incontinence alone. We know how uncomfortable and restricted life can feel when your bladder does not cooperate the way you want it to.
Imagine the pelvic floor as an elastic trampoline – it supports the organs in the pelvic cavity and ensures that the bladder and bowel empty their contents only when you consciously want them to. If these muscles are weakened, meaning the trampoline has lost its elasticity – whether due to pregnancy, hormonal changes, excess weight or simply a lack of training – they can no longer perform their supporting and closing functions optimally.
This means that everyday movements such as coughing, laughing or jumping may result in involuntary urine leakage, or the bladder may send overactive signals even though it is not full.
But there are ways to take action: MyPelvi pelvic floor training uses targeted magnetic stimulation to address the deeper muscle layers of the pelvic floor – including those that support closure of the urethra. Many of our customers report that the training helps them strengthen this network of muscles and become more consciously aware of how they activate their pelvic floor. This can make it easier to respond to situations involving strain, such as sneezing or laughing, in everyday life. MyPelvi pelvic floor training offers the following benefits:
- Supporting the bladder sphincter: When the pelvic floor is well trained, it helps the sphincter close more effectively and thus prevent involuntary urine leakage. - Keeping the bladder in the correct position: A strong pelvic floor keeps the pelvic organs in place and prevents them from descending, which can contribute to incontinence. - Improving awareness: Regular training strengthens not only the muscles but also conscious control of bladder function. Anyone who can contract and relax their pelvic floor in a targeted way will find it easier to control an unwanted urge to urinate. - Preparing the muscles for strain: Whether running, jumping or sneezing – a trained pelvic floor can react more quickly and absorb sudden pressure on the bladder.
The best part is that MyPelvi pelvic floor training is easy to integrate into everyday life because a session takes only 22 minutes. The innovative magnetic wave technology reaches your pelvic floor down to its deepest layers, which conventional exercises can scarcely reach. Take a seat, lean back and feel the first results after just a few weeks:

MyPelvi extra tips: There are also a few things that can help you regain control of your bladder. These include:
- Conscious toilet habits: Do not go to the toilet as a precaution – this can disrupt the bladder's rhythm. - Healthy diet: Fibre prevents constipation, which places additional pressure on the pelvic floor. - Drink enough: Drinking less does not help – it can actually make the bladder even more sensitive!
When is pelvic floor training the right choice?
Pelvic floor training with MyPelvi is a simple but highly effective method to improve incontinence. However, not every form of bladder weakness has the same cause – and training may not always be the sole solution. What's important is to identify the right type of incontinence and understand when targeted pelvic floor training can help.

Pelvic floor training can help with these forms of incontinence.
1) Stress incontinence
This is the most common form, for example during menopause or pregnancy and postpartum. It occurs when urine leaks unintentionally while coughing, sneezing, laughing, or jumping. The reason: the pelvic floor muscles are too weak to withstand sudden pressure. With targeted training, the muscle can be strengthened so that it better fulfills its holding function.
2) Urge incontinence (overactive bladder)
In this case, the bladder constantly signals “I need to go!”, even though it is not yet full. This is often caused by overactive bladder muscles or disrupted signalling between the bladder and the brain. A trained pelvic floor can help improve control of bladder function and delay the urge to urinate.
3) Mixed incontinence
This form combines stress and urge incontinence. Pelvic floor training can be helpful in both cases, as it strengthens the muscles while improving awareness of bladder function.
In which form of incontinence does pelvic floor training alone not suffice?
Neurologically caused incontinence
When nerves are damaged – for example by conditions such as multiple sclerosis, a stroke or severe complications of diabetes – bladder control can be impaired. In these cases, pelvic floor training alone is usually not sufficient because the problem lies not in the muscles, but in signal transmission between the brain and bladder.
Overflow incontinence
In this case, the bladder does not empty properly and instead overflows. The cause may be a narrowing of the urethra, weakened bladder muscles or a neurological disorder. Pelvic floor training provides only limited help in these cases because the problem often lies elsewhere and may require medical treatment.
Fistulas or anatomical malformations
If there is a direct connection between the bladder and other organs, such as the vagina or bowel, urine may leak uncontrollably. Such malformations or injuries, for example after a difficult birth, can usually only be corrected surgically. Be sure to seek medical advice about this.
Can you simply train away bladder weakness?
Targeted pelvic floor training can be an important element in managing bladder weakness more effectively – but it requires patience and the right method. Pelvic floor training is not a miracle cure that works overnight, but it can bring major improvements over the long term. Many people also think they simply have to “tense down below” – but the pelvic floor is a complex network of muscles that works together with the abdominal and back muscles.
With MyPelvi, you have the opportunity to support your pelvic floor particularly effectively and reach even the deepest muscle layers without exertion.
