Q: Can I move about while using the AthenaFem?

A: Some women may be able to do this; but, in most cases, probably not. You could try wearing your underwear after it is inserted in case you do have to get up and move about. This should help keep it in place.

Q: How long will I have to use the PMT before I see results?

A: Each individual is different. It varies with age, weight, overall health, menopause, and in many cases, the number of vaginal childbirths the woman has experienced. In the best case scenario, you will notice tightening of the pelvic muscle after about 30 days of use though some people report benefits after only 1 week.

After you have succeeded in strengthening the pelvic muscle, we suggest that you continue exercising (perhaps with a reduced schedule), for maximum effectiveness and to maintain good pelvic health. After all, you try to keep the other muscles in your body toned and taut... so don't neglect this very important one!

Q: Can new mothers who gave birth vaginally use the PMT? If so, how long after childbirth?

A: It is highly recommended that new mothers begin pelvic floor rehabilitation as soon as possible after giving birth. You should consult with your doctor to determine when to start using the PMT.

Q: Should I physically do "Kegels" in addition to using the Athena PMT?

A: Although it probably isn't necessary, anything you can do to be proactive and expedite the alleviation of your incontinence problem will be good news for you.

Q: How do I insert it?

A: We recommend a prone or semi-prone (such as a recliner) position for inserting the PMT.

Q: How do I remove it?

A: The easiest way is to use about a 14" length of sanitary dental floss. Thread it through the eyelet on the Trainer and tie at the end. Many women are able to push it out but in the beginning, always start with the clean dental floss.

Q: How can I tell if it is "ON"?

A: You should feel a contraction of the muscles which feels like trying to suppress the urge to urinate and then letting go. If you don't feel this type of contraction, take the tip of your finger and move the PMT slightly until it finds the right place for you. Many women say they find they don't have to put it very far inside the opening but just enough to feel the eyelet at the end of the Trainer.

Q: I have a prolapsed cervix. Does this condition prohibit my use of the Pelvic Muscle Trainer?

A: Only your physician can determine that for you since each prolapse is unique.

Q: I am allergic to some metallic materials. Will I have a reaction to the PMT?

A: All of the physical properties of the PMT have been deemed safe by the Federal Drug Administration and we meet their standards along with the EU CE mark requirements.

Q: Can I use a vaginal lubricant while using the PMT?

A: Yes. We recommend a water-based lubricant, but only if necessary. DO NOT use a petroleum-based jelly. You can also use a little water if you don't have lubricant.

Q: How do I clean the PMT?

The PMT Trainer module is sealed and can be cleaned with warm soapy water, rinsed, dried and put back in the cradle on the controller. You can also use antiseptic wipe or with tissue or cotton balls if desired.

The Wireless Controller module should be kept dry at all times; if it requires cleaning, carefully wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Q: Can I let another person use my personal PMT?

A: Although the trainer can be cleaned, the PMT should only be used by the person for whom it was prescribed. We do not condone letting another individual use your PMT.

Q: How can I resume my usage if I am interrupted before the 15 minutes are up and have to turn it off and take it out?

A: Place the trainer back into the cradle on the controller to reset it. It will immediately be ready to remove and start again.

Q: Do I have to move the dial every time to the setting I like?

A: No. At the beginning of every session, the PMT will gradually ramp up to the last used setting automatically. This process takes a few seconds.

CAUTION: NEVER turn the dial up all the way in a single twist. Always Increase stimulation in small increments to a level that is most comfortable for you.
