I started using my K-Fit toner about 6 weeks ago. At first it was twice a day, then only once a day, so I have been inconsistent. There have been a few times where I didn't use it at all for a day or two or three. I definitely feel the muscles tightening while I'm using the unit so I believe I am doing it correctly. I just thought I would see better results by now but I still have as strong a level of urge incontinence as ever. I could use some expert advice because I want this to work more than I can express in words!

I had the exact same issue. After four months of using the machine once a day, I still had no benefit. I had worked my way up to 60 mA on the strong programs - I could feel good contractions but still experienced significant incontinence. I was dejected since my incontinence was so bad I couldn’t even walk for 10 min without leaking. At that time I replaced the probe (that came with the machine) with the longer vaginal probe. I like the new probe way better: it is more comfortable, stays in place, and seems to give a more even contraction. I am finally making great progress! After 3 months with the new probe I can say that the improvement is definitely worth it. I still can’t jump on a trampoline, but I no longer need to worry about sneezing or coughing, and I can walk miles without a problem.
Consistency is definitely key to progress when working out. Our starting point is also important. Just like a person who is already at their goal weight will see washboard abs at the gym quickly, a person who needs to also manage their weight will take longer to see the same results. When you are already dealing with dysfunction, you may have a longer road than a person who is not. That doesn’t mean you won’t get there! Don’t give up. Be consistent. Push your comfort level and increase your mA’s over time. Also, make sure you are using both a Continuous as well as a Work/Rest program regularly. I would suggest P06 and P08. Alternate one in the morning and the other one at night. Also, remain aware of your “internal posture” during the rest of the day. Make sure that you are not simply relaxing the pelvic floor at all times. Draw your pelvic floor up as often as you remember to. Just the same way that you would draw your shoulders back and engage your core, you should be tightening the pelvic floor to ensure it is not sagging back into a dysfunctional position.
