V-Tone Vaginal Weights
Vaginal cone set for strengthening pelvic floor muscles
V-Tone Vaginal Cones
V-Tone Vaginal Cones repalce the very popluar Aquaflex Pelvic Floor Exercise System and consists of vaginal cones with adjustable weights to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
Vaginal cones can be a useful progression to your pelvic floor strengthening program and can be used in a number of ways:
- endurance training - holding them in for short periods to improve endurance of the pelvic flor muscles.
- resistance - to feel the weight in the vagina and gently lift, hold then relax. In other words you do your pelvic floor exercises with the weights - just like you would when strengthening any other group of muscles.
- biofeedback - feeling them in the vagina whilst doing functional activities like making the bed or emptying the dishwasher, even progressing to wearing them for a run or pilates class to give feedback on when you should be contracting the pelvic floor muscles ie when abdominal pressure increases.
Please Note
Vaginal cones may not be suitable if you have a prolapse, as the prolapsed organ/s may prevent you from positioning the weights correctly. Read more about prolapse and pelvic floor exercises
The Teneo Uno vaginal ball are usually suitable with mild prolapse.Women with a wider vaginal vault or genital hiatus (the gap between the two sides of the deep layer of the pelvic floor muscles) may find the cones are too small to sit correctly within the vagina, or they may slide out.
You can easily test whether this applies to you. If so, you may find the vaginal balls with a wider diameter are a more suitable choice.Manufacturers are cautious about the use of vaginal devices during pregnancy, and generally advise against their use. If you wish to use an insertable device during pregnancy please speak to your doctor.
