Question 1

Who is the pelvic trainer right for?

Accepted Answer

The trainer may help if you're experiencing bladder leaks (especially with coughing, sneezing, or laughing), urinary urgency or frequency, or mild pelvic organ prolapse. It's not right for everyone. You cannot use it if you're pregnant, gave birth within the last 6 weeks, had pelvic surgery within the last 12 weeks, or have certain other conditions. Your Hinge Health pelvic floor physical therapist may help determine if it's right for you upon request.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

The trainer is inserted vaginally and has two sensors: one measures intra-abdominal pressure and the other detects pelvic floor muscle contractions. When you use it with the Hinge Health app, you'll see an orb on your screen that rises and falls as you contract and relax. Training sessions take about 5 minutes and are gamified — you squeeze and relax to capture targets and improve your score.

Question 3

What kind of results can I expect?

Accepted Answer

Studies show that 71% of women see improvement in urinary incontinence symptoms in the short term, and 85% see improvement with continued use.¹ Many members notice results within 4-6 weeks¹ The pelvic trainer combined with exercise therapy is more effective than pelvic floor exercises alone.²

Question 4

How do I get a pelvic trainer?

Accepted Answer

First, enroll in Hinge Health and complete a short questionnaire about your pelvic health. If you meet the clinical criteria, you'll be able to order your pelvic trainer directly through the Hinge Health app. You'll also work with a dedicated pelvic floor physical therapist who will support you throughout your journey.

Question 5

Is there really no cost?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The pelvic trainer is available at no additional cost to Hinge Health members who are clinically eligible. It's fully covered as part of the Hinge Health program through your employer or health plan.
