I love the app and the games! The actual Perifit device isn't perfect though - the bluetooth connection is weak (easily gets disconnected) and sometimes positioning it properly is difficult - it will say all of my contractions are poor quality until I reposition it (and then they are all good quality). But overall this thing has helped me a lot. No fear when coughing or sneezing now.
I am learning how to work this device and it is very easy to work and the work outs are very good and easy.
Ever since having my girls, I have struggled with minor stress incontinence when running. I tried everything from formal pelvic floor therapy, Pilates, doing Kegels on my own. Nothing seemed to work. I decided to try Perifit on a whim, couldn't hurt, but didn't hold out too much hope. Six week later, and the problem is gone. I can run without a worry! I couldn't be happier!
On the upside, the games really do make pelvic exercises less tedious, and encourages you to keep up with them. On the downside, I have now tried both the Care and Care+ models, and each has its own problems. The Care model gets pushed out when you contract, the Care+ gets sucked in, and both lead to poor contraction detection. To make the detection consistent, you have you use your hand to hold the device steady, which is awkward at best, and downright impossible if you’re trying to use the devices in the standing position. If I have to choose, I’d say the Care is a little easier to deal with. I am now, unfortunately, stuck with the Care+.
A little difficulty at first inserting it - better now - using water as a lubricant and laying down. I don’t understand the rating af the end of each game … all the percentages & different coloured hearts … I know it is rating my performance but not really understanding what it means…
One other question - is it necessary to click through the starting pages every time (ie: tips for insertion etc)???
Effective exercises, fun games, and measurable progress! Highly recommend!
Those tedious kegel exercises and expensive physio visits are not for me. But perifit turned tedious into fun and challenging.
I really like using the perifit. The games actually make me want to do the exercise and the time goes so fast!!
I am definitely thinking this is working for me. It connects easily and games are good, The designer/programer they did an excellent job, I have used mine for 3 weeks and I can tell there is improvement, I used another product but this one is higher quality. So I am happy with product.
I think the exercises are good but it’s hard to tell if you are making any progress. It tells me last time but i dont feel thats accurate. Also who are the median? I also dont like the questions. They dont address my situation and a yes or no answer doesnt cover it. How much do I leak? Not much because i am scared of having an urge and not being able to hold it that i pee all the time. Etc etc. Also how can i be so close to the goals % when i can hold my pee? Also, while playing the games everytime i breath the character goes up. I can actually raise them pretty high by just breathing. If i hold my breath i am able to relax it. Also i am always getting in the red when squeezing, how do i change that
This is so fun. What a great way to do physical therapy in a fun way! This really works!!!!
Looking for options to strengthen my pelvic floor, I came across this on Amazon. The reviews were excellent. I asked my husband to look it over too. He saw only positive reviews as well. What sold it for me were the video games. I knew I would be motivated to practice if it was fun. The games are awesome and there is a lot of variety. I order everything on Amazon, however, it cost less to buy it from Perifit, so that is what I did. I have not regretted it at all and the customer service is excellent. If you have pelvic floor issues, this will definitely help!
This has been a really wonderful experience and I am so happy to have access to it! It has brought more awareness to my body, breath, and where I hold stress/tension. My one piece of feedback is that there should be "games" that encourage breath work and the full release of pelvic floor not just contraction/release range of motion games. Otherwise I think it should be a part of all postpartum recovery and aging women's health in general!
What a great way to encourage a steady routine for kegels.
After a month of using at least 5 times per week, I have noticed improved control. I have progressed to standing exercise routine and finding it quite a lot harder but hoping this achieves the sane levels of improvement.
This is a fun way to do pelvic floor exercises… tho a bit more info about how to improve or what the results mean would be helpful.
It has been a very short time since I've started using the Perifit Care, I haven't been consistent in using but still have noticed a change thus far, albeit not a huge change just yet but still a change nonetheless. Im glad there is such a tool to help me with this problem. I will continue to use it and gain confidence in the process...thank you much!!!
So, a bit of an intimate subject, but hey, we are all ladies trying to improve our pelvic floors! This gizmo helps us do that, and in a fun way! Too early to tell if it is effective. I am also seeing a physiotherapist, and she was aware of the Perifit and very supportive of my using it and including it in my wellness journey. Love how it gives me some objective stats (strength, quality of contractions) that I can share with her. I would absolutely suggest you give this a try!! 🥰
Gamification works! Keeps me engaged. Seeing results
Playing games to improve muscle tone is brilliant. Makes you want to play one more.
