FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Emy was conceived and designed by and for women with the help of health care professionals. Lightweight and compact, the Emy Kegel trainer is made with soft and soothing materials for comfortable use.

Emy is suitable for all body types. Its round design provides for outstanding comfort and allows you to even use the trainer while dressed. Emy is composed of a taller upper part that is inserted into the vagina and a round base to keep the trainer in place.

You can use a water-based lubricant to make the trainer easier to insert.

The indicator lights designate the various statuses of the trainer:

  • Light blinking on the central part of the trainer: Emy is on and attempting to connect to the mobile app
  • Light turned off on the central part of the trainer: Emy is in standby mode OR connected to the app
  • Short flash every 3 seconds on the central part of the trainer: Emy is connected to the application
  • 3 quick blinks on the central part of the trainer: the battery is low and must be recharged

When Emy is charging, a light on the upper part of the trainer stays lit. This light goes out once the trainer is fully charged.

Experiencing a problem with the indicator lights? Head to the “Troubleshooting” section for help.

Here are the steps for connecting the Emy Kegel trainer to the mobile app:

  • Make sure Emy is fully charged before using it for the first time
  • Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone
  • If you have an Android smartphone, you must also enable GPS in the location settings
  • Shake the trainer to turn it on and make sure the indicator light on the central part blinks for more than one minute

Open the mobile app, click on “Start an exercise,” select the “Complete” offer, navigate through the screens, click on “I am ready,” and the app should quickly connect to the trainer without any prior pairing.

If you already paired Emy with your smartphone, please remove the trainer in your phone’s Bluetooth settings. The Emy Kegel trainer automatically connects to the app without any prior pairing.

To make the most of Emy, we recommend that you get into a semi-supine position (flat on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor). Lie down comfortably, spread your legs, and use a pillow to raise your neck. Place your phone near your thighs to keep the Bluetooth signal as unobstructed as possible.

Always keep your legs apart to allow even weak Bluetooth waves to communicate with your phone.

When inserting Emy, make sure the brightest part of the indicator light on the central part of the trainer is facing the ceiling.

Do not cover the base of the trainer with your hands. Covering the white part of the base (which contains the Bluetooth antenna) can result in a loss of signal strength. In general, you will not need to hold or move the trainer during your exercises.

A water-based lubricant can help eliminate any pain or irritation you might feel when inserting the Emy Kegel trainer.

You should not feel pain when using Emy. If the pain continues even after using a lubricant, we recommend that you consult a health care professional.

In general, you will not need to hold or move the trainer during your exercises. Covering the white part of the base (which contains the Bluetooth antenna) can result in a loss of signal strength.

Emy is suitable for all body types: depending on your physique, the base of the trainer may stick out more or less from your vagina.

If the trainer slides out during your contractions, you may be pushing instead of contracting. Keep doing your exercises. After a few sessions, your pelvic floor will be more toned and the trainer should no longer slide out of your vagina.

You may also be using too much lubricant, which could explain why Emy keeps sliding out.

Try using less lubricant. If the problem continues, feel free to contact us at lea@fizimed.com.

There is no fixed rule.

The app offers a variety of programs to meet your own individual needs.

You can also define the frequency and duration of your sessions with the health care professional in charge of your Kegel exercises.

The mobile app contains instructions on how to do your exercises and contract your pelvic floor. Go to “Help & Advice” > “How to properly contract”

You should not be contracting any other muscles except those of your pelvic floor. Place your hands on your buttocks, thighs, and abs to make sure the muscles in these areas are relaxed.

If you are still unsure, we recommend that you consult a health care professional.

Emy is extremely easy to clean. Simply wipe it with mild soap and water (do not use abrasive products). For hygienic reasons, Emy is perfectly smooth and 100% waterproof. It can therefore be completely immersed in water. As a precaution, however, we recommend that you do not use the Emy Kegel trainer in water (bathtub, ocean, etc.).

If you are prone to infections, clean Emy before and after each use with a pH-neutral antibacterial cleaner designed for intimate accessories.

Make sure the trainer is completely dry before storing it in its case.

Do not use the trainer in extreme cold or heat (below 0°C/32°F or above 40°C/104°F).

If the trainer goes unused for long periods of time, recharge it every 2-3 months (at least) to make sure it remains in good condition.

To clean the charging case, simply remove the trainer and wipe the case with a disinfectant wipe. Do not immerse the case in water or store it in extreme cold or heat (below 0°C/32°F or above 40°C/104°F).

Congratulations on your pregnancy! We do not recommend using the Emy Kegel trainer during pregnancy as this is not an ideal moment to strengthen your pelvic floor.

Instead, you may wish to focus on awareness and relaxation exercises to ensure a smooth delivery.

On the other hand, the Emy Kegel trainer – a medical device developed and recognized by health care professionals – is perfect after giving birth.

Women usually begin Kegel exercises 6 to 8 weeks after delivery, once they have had their pelvic floor checked by a health care professional.

Absolutely. Remember to clean Emy thoroughly before and after each use.

Sure, Emy is perfectly compatible with IUDs. Emy is a Kegel trainer for the vagina while an IUD is inserted into the uterus. The two devices will not touch.

If you suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction (prolapse, pelvic pain, etc.), we recommend that you consult your gynecologist before purchasing Emy.

The Emy Kegel trainer was designed for intravaginal use to help women strengthen their pelvic floor. Emy was made exclusively for women. We currently do not sell a comparable device for men.

However, feel free to download our app “Emy – Kegel exercises” which offers tips for both women and men on strengthening their pelvic floor.

However, you can subscribe to our Essential offer on the mobile application “Emy – Kegel exercises” which allows women, as well as men, to train their pelvic floor.

You can practice with the 20 mini-games without the probe to train at home!

The Emy application is compatible with all smartphones and tablets from Android 5 and iOS 11.

Emy connects to the app via Bluetooth. You can use the Emy Kegel trainer without being connected to the Internet. You’ll need to connect to the Internet to access certain help content but you won’t need a connection to do your exercises.

Yes, you can use the Emy app to do your exercises without the trainer. Download the free Emy app to discover all our offers.

To make the most of your pelvic floor exercises, we recommend using the Kegel trainer which allows you to follow your contractions on your smartphone in real time.

All your data remains strictly confidential and secure and is never shared.

Training programs define the frequency and duration of your sessions. You will be asked a few questions to determine which of the following programs is best suited to your needs:

  • Postpartum: 2 x 20 min sessions per week
  • Urinary incontinence: 5 x 10 min sessions per week
  • Prevention: 2 x 10 min sessions per week

  • General muscle toning: 3 x 10 min sessions per week
  • Preparation for childbirth: 2 x 15 min sessions per week
  • Regular: 3 x 10 min sessions per week

Customized: choose from 1 to 7 sessions/week, from 5 to 20 minutes/session

You can modify your program at any time on the application, according to your needs, your availability and your current goal!

Don’t worry, we’ve thought of everything! You can set up training reminders and be alerted directly on your smartphone.

On the home screen, click on “Customize my training program” to activate your reminders and specify the days and times your notifications should appear on your smartphone.

Our games are based on the PERFECT Scheme method used by health care professionals.

This method is based on a sequence of different types of contractions:

  • endurance
  • speed
  • repetition.

Obtaining rewards at the end of your session indicates the correct execution of the indications of the exercises and informs you of your personal progress.

Studies have found that incontinence decreases when a certain level is achieved for each of the various training indicators.

The rewards are therefore based on your progress and mean your pelvic floor is getting stronger.

Emy is based on the principle of biofeedback, one of the most effective known methods for pelvic floor training. Emy comes equipped with sensors which allow it to measure voluntary contractions of the pelvic muscles in real time with gentleness and precision.

Thanks to this innovative and patented technology, women can follow their contractions directly on their smartphone, in the Emy app.

Emy encourages women to become aware of their pelvic floor contractions and play an active role in their training.

Emy has passed with flying colors its clinical trial with the University Hospitals of Strasbourg: 98% of women have an improvement in their quality of life after 3 months of using Emy!

96% of our users experience benefits after just three weeks of exercises with Emy.

Every woman is different. Some women notice improvements after just three weeks. For others, it takes a little longer. With Emy, you get to go at your own pace.

However, if after 8 weeks of training you still see no improvements in your symptoms, we recommend that you consult a health care professional to make sure you’re doing the exercises properly.

Emy is a fully waterproof medical device made of biocompatible, medical-grade materials. It is perfectly safe and meets an extremely strict set of medical standards and requirements.

Emy is designed and manufactured by French professionals in association with partners based exclusively in Europe.

The Emy Kegel trainer uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. The waves emitted by the base of the trainer (which remains outside the vagina) are extremely weak.

To illustrate, the power of the waves emitted by your smartphone is 1 to 2 watts. The power of Wi-Fi is 0.1 watts and the power of Bluetooth is 0.001 watts.

In other words, the waves emitted by Emy via Bluetooth are 1,000 times weaker than the waves emitted by the phone in your pocket.

The Emy Kegel trainer complies with all current standards regarding medical devices.

In general, the Emy connected Kegel trainer is not covered by insurance as it is considered an innovative medical device. However, some insurance companies cover some of the costs of connected medical devices such as Emy. For more information, please contact your insurance provider.

No problem. You can still pay in three interest-free installments via our payment provider.
