Femetone - VAT Exempt Version

Hi, we have stopped selling the Femetone now sorry - we have replaced it with the Femme Elite. Anyway, I think the Femetone took 2 x AA. Thanks

The metal parts of the probe should sit east-to-west so to speak. The probe should be inserted high enough so you can feel the pelvic floor muscles contract - everyone is different so we can't just say insert x amount of inches we're afraid. But yes, pulses/contractions should be felt. If you can't feel anything ensure you use a lubricant. If you still can't then hold it in the crook of your elbow that is damp and turn it up until you do so. If you still can't after that then please contact us through our helpdesk on http://helpdesk.peak-nutrition.co.uk so we can ask more questions before deciding whether a return is required or not. Kind regards

I would suggest either the AthenaGel or the Yes Lubricant - both are water based and paraben free.
You can read more about AthenaGel here

or here for Yes Lubricant

Hi, we can't say whether you should use it without seeing a doctor or not as that is upto you. If you are in doubt you should seek medical advice. We will be shipping to the USA soon - we are just sorting out a reliable and cheap carrier - as for the price in USD there is an option at the top of each page to change currency to USD, CAD, EUR or GBP. Thanks

Not as yet, no - but we will very soon!

Yes, no problem at all. Kind regards

We suggest using 1 programme once a day. You can use it more but our research suggests the no real benefit is shown by using it more than once a day. Thanks

To be honest, if you are not succeeding with normal pelvic floor exercises, and assuming you are doing them correctly, then no electro stimulating device will probably help. If you are not doing the exercises correctly then the electric ones such as the Femetone could well help. It is probably best to discuss with your doctor if possible to be honest. It also depends on how long you have been doing the exercises for too - it can take several weeks to see results using the normal manual kegel exercises. Thanks

Hi, as each prolapse is unique you need to check with your GP/consultant before using any kind of pelvic toner - whether it be the electro-stimulant ones or the manual ones. In most cases it is fine to use a toner and you will see (feel!) benefits. However, as we are talking about an existing medical condition we have to say you need to discuss with your GP/consultant first. Thanks

Hi, it could well help though you need to discuss with your GP as to whether this kind of treatment will specifically help your individual case. Thanks

Hi, if your trouble is due to stress incontinence then this product will definitely help I can assure you of that. Many thanks

Hi, the metal contacts should face sideways as the probe enters the vagina - thanks

I don't see why not to be honest though you should check with your healthcare professional to be on the safe side.

It does, yes. Though to be honest I think the PelviTone is better than the Femetone at that as it has a programme just for this as well. Thanks

Hi, as you have an IUD you should talk to your healthcare professional before using any pelvic toner. It should be fine and we know of many customers who use toners with these devices fitted but you should always check with a doctor or nurse first. THanks

Hi, if your GP said that pelvic floor exercises will help then yes the Femetone (or any of our pelvic toners) should help. You can also select the VAT Exempt versions too as it's a medical condition. Thanks

Femetone is designed and manufactured to all medical standards. As a medical device it has to be certified and controlled by a quality system. It is used by hospitals and clinics in Europe and around the world. It has also undergone medical trials. However, it cannot be used if you are pregnant as no research has been done. It can be used after childbirth though we suggest you discuss with your health care professional first.

Femetone has a long pedigree, the manufacturers have been designing stimulators for research and use in hospitals for many years. Some incontinence can be treated in a month, others can be longer term. If the pelvic floor has been weak for a long time it will take longer to build back up. Results will be seen and felt in a few weeks though it depends what you expect to achieve, how long before you are satisfied depends on you. It must be used every day at first though to ensure the best results.

No it complements exercises. If the pelvic floor is weak it will be almost impossible to do manual exercises yourself. The femetone will build up the pelvic floor and give you a sensation for you to understand where the pelvic floor is. Many women at first are unable to exercise the pelvic floor themselves (not a muscle you exercise at the gym!). Using the Femetone to start your exercises is excellent, it does a warm up for you and gives you a prompt to hold the exercise.

The probe has been ergonomically designed to fit most people comfortably and stay in when exercising. A very small number of females find it uncomfortable and some report difficulty in keeping it in. The vast majority of users have no difficulties.

The probe is designed as a single user part. It only needs washing in soapy water and allowing to air dry, if you wish it could be cleaned in similar products that babies bottles are cleaned in.

Yes because the Femetone uses sequential frequencies you always receive a warm up and cool down session in your exercises and as your muscle fibres are never tired it is safe to repeat again. Just leave approximately one hour before any other sessions, we do not recommend you use it more than twice a day, it is not really necessary to use more than once a day though.

The batteries should last approximately one month in normal use. If you are using it several times a day it will obviously run out quicker

The output should be adjusted until you feel a gentle tingling, you get no further benefit by higher outputs. Once you have adjusted the level at the beginning do not adjust it, some frequencies in the sequence are quite low and sensation will be lower.

The Femetone uses sequential frequency stimulation, some of these are quite low and some people are unable to feel them, dont adjust the output level, later frequencies are higher and will be felt. There is also an amount of accommodation that takes place and sensation can sometimes be quite low.
If the pelvic floor is weak or surgery has taken place sensation can be quite low too.
