I’ve been using Elvie for four months and the changes are incredible. After four kids I can honestly say I am stronger then ever. I started seeing results after 3 weeks. I feel strong and confident. My husband is over the moon happy with the changes.
I have experienced some issues with my first Elvie but the Elvie support team were extremely helpful and replaced it right away.
I bought this after it was recommended by my PT. I was going to PT for a prolapsed uterus. I've been using it almost daily for a month now. It's been very helpful in teaching me whether or not I'm doing a kegel correctly. It's also made me super mindful of what other muscles I've been recruiting. I really like the device, although I need to also be better about doing kegels without the device throughout the day.
After the birth of my daughter, building strength and getting back to my fitness level was a key priority for me. However, getting my core strength back was much harder than I thought! I was always active and considered myself as a pretty good athlete. After giving birth, I cringed at seeing double under as part of my workout because I would always dribble during the jumps! Yes, peeing in my pants during a work out was incredibly embarrassing! I also did not have time to supplement my workout with a separate core focused workout- I am a working mom trying to balance work, family and my health. Elvie solved the issue for me. I can use it at any hour, and following the games/targets in the app made it super easy to get my pelvic floor exercise on and focus on specific pelvic floor muscles! I love the way it looks and I can tuck it in the case when not using. After a month, I no longer had peeing issues during double under! I also felt noticeably stable and strong when weight lifting. While I don't generally write reviews and talking about peeing in my pants is very embarrassing, I am sure a lot of women experience the same issues and thought it is important to share!
I spent 6 months last year working with a pelvic floor therapist. I never realized that such a weakness existed, let alone could cause so many problems including urinary incontinence and loss of sexual stimulation. Whether hereditary or not it can be reversed.
After completing my rehab I continued to do my exercises but, because there was no way of measuring my strength areas and weak areas like in the office I wondered if I was doing them correctly and often enough.
Found Elvie on Amazon and after reading the fabulous reviews I decided to give it a try!
Wow! I have the results right on my phone. The exercises are fun and keep me motivated. Elvie is very comfortable too! It also gives me confidence that I’m doing the best I can for my body.
I recently visited my gynecologist and she was impressed with my results! She commented that not enough of her patients take this seriously and sadly go through their life with effects of a weak pelvic floor, some eventually need surgery. This is the answer! It’s accurate, you can do it in the privacy of your own home on your schedule! In other countries there are classes immediately after you have a baby to help get you back in shape. I think it is over looked here. I’m 60 years old and wish Elvie was around and talked about when I had my child 25 years ago! YOU WON’T BE SORRY!

Elvie is my new best friend. I have 4 kids and do not have any bladder issues. I wanted something that help me feel a little tighter when working out. She did the trick. Also my husband has no complaints about what she is doing to my girl parts.
I've been using this device for about 7 weeks. So I've had to time to really see if it worked and what the results are with using it. I'm a mother of 4 having had 2 vaginal births and 2 csections. During my last pregnancy I developed Symphysis pubis dysfunction and my pelvic floor was severely weakened. After the pregnancy I could barely feel anything with penetrative sex among other issues like long term pelvic pain. I did a lot of physical therapy with internal work but it was hard to stick with the exercises at home when not with the therapist. Finally after years of just dealing with it I came across Elvie. I'm happy to say it has made a huge difference. After 7 weeks I would say things are 90 percent back to normal. I've just made it to the advanced workouts so I'm sure things will keep improving. I am so happy. I was single and the idea of having sex with a new partner with my issues was so anxiety inducing and I was afraid. It hurt my self confidence. I'm happy to say that I have a partner again and everything worked which is huge. This has helped me so much and given me back my love life. I wanted to write a detailed review on this issue because I could mostly find just info on incontinence. I wanted to let women know that this will help if you have sexual dysfunction from a weak pelvic floor.
I came to Amazon to read reviews on the yoni egg fad and discovered Elvie. A five minute exercise with feedback and graduated workouts set to your unique pace-seemed much more doable for my lifestyle than the yoni egg.
As a massage therapist, I believe the best part of Elvie is the feedback. It took me 4 days before I was performing one of the exercises correctly. If you are unaware of strengthening incorrectly you could be creating a potential havoc down the road.
I birthed four kids in five years and while I was not experiencing incontinence, a few sessions with Elvie made it clear that 'something' was getting stronger. Pelvic floor muscle weakness can lead to variable issues throughout the body.
After three sessions my low grade hip and SI joint pain was more faint. After a week of working out my core was stronger than 2 years of kettle bell training.
When I graduated from the intermediate to advanced level I broke a sweat! Yet, it was only a 5 minute work out.
A month later, while my weight is the same my waist is smaller and my clothes looser. My abs and back feel much stronger. And interestingly, I have less neck and shoulder tension.
I contacted Elvie about their warranty before I share this pricey gem with my female clients, friends, and family. There's a two year warranty offered by the company (not amazon) and customers may contact them in the rare event there's a problem with the product.
I've had this for over a month and have had no problems. The one time it seemed like the app was not connecting with the device was corrected by closing and reopening the app. I've only had to charge the device twice since the purchase.
Like I said...Best Core Exercise EVER! Forget going to the gym!!!
So urogynecologist recommended this type of device for overactive bladder. Just did my first workout. It was quick and effective. I hope to see lasting results soon. I plan on doing this every day. Will update in a few weeks but as for now I'm pleased with the design and app. Never lost connection on my phone and I was able to visualize my progress on screen. Honestly I wish I had this after my first child was born.
Love this unit. Experienced an increase in pelvic muscles in about 3 weeks time. Very easy to use. Only takes about 10 minutes per "work-out".
Highly recommend if you are looking to increase bladder control, pelvic muscles, etc.
