Perifit Care+ — Advanced Biofeedback Pelvic Floor Trainer

Yes, and this is one of Perifit's primary and most evidence-supported use cases. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, jump, run, or lift heavy objects, is most commonly caused by weakness or reduced coordination of the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles form a sling that supports the bladder, urethra, uterus, and rectum. When they are not strong enough to withstand increases in abdominal pressure, leakage occurs. Many women assume incontinence is inevitable after childbirth or menopause, when in fact targeted training can resolve the problem for the majority of people. Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) through regular kegel exercises is the first-line treatment recommended by clinical guidelines worldwide for stress urinary incontinence. It is supported by high-quality evidence and is effective for the majority of women when performed correctly and consistently. The challenge is that many people do their kegels incorrectly, inconsistently, or give up because they cannot tell whether they are making progress. Perifit addresses all three of these barriers: biofeedback ensures correct technique, the gamified app makes training engaging and habit-forming, and the progress tracking provides measurable evidence of improvement that can be incredibly motivating. Clinical data from Perifit's global user base of over 900,000 women shows that the majority experience meaningful improvement in bladder control within weeks of consistent use. Most training protocols involve five to ten-minute sessions, two to three times per week. While individual results vary based on the severity of the weakness and consistency of training, pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback is strongly supported by clinical evidence as an effective, non-surgical approach to improving or resolving stress urinary incontinence. Many women report that Perifit-guided training has eliminated the need for incontinence pads or allowed them to return to high-impact exercise they had avoided due to leakage.

Perifit is widely used and recommended for postpartum pelvic floor recovery. Pregnancy and vaginal birth place enormous load on the pelvic floor muscles, and many women experience weakness, reduced awareness of their pelvic floor, urinary leakage, or a sense of vaginal heaviness after delivery. Caesarean births also affect the pelvic floor because pregnancy itself — not just the birth — stretches and loads these muscles for nine months, leading to significant weakness. Rebuilding pelvic floor strength, coordination, and endurance is a critical part of postnatal rehabilitation and recovery of pre-pregnancy function and confidence. Before using Perifit or any internal device postpartum, wait until your healthcare provider has cleared you for internal examination and exercise. This is typically at your six-week postnatal check, although timelines may differ if you experienced a complicated delivery, significant perineal tearing, instrumental birth, or caesarean section. Some women with extensive tearing may need eight to twelve weeks before internal training is appropriate. The tissue needs adequate time to heal before internal devices are introduced, and premature training can compromise healing. Once cleared, Perifit's biofeedback is particularly valuable postpartum because many women find it difficult to feel their pelvic floor contracting after birth. The muscles may feel numb, disconnected, or very weak, making it hard to know if you are contracting effectively. The real-time visual feedback on your phone confirms that you are engaging the right muscles and helps rebuild the brain-to-muscle connection that is essential for effective training. The gamified format also makes it easier to stay consistent during a period of life that is exhausting and overwhelming. Start gently, progress at your own pace, and work with your pelvic health physiotherapist to guide the intensity and frequency that is right for your specific recovery. Many postpartum women find Perifit empowering because it demonstrates measurable progress during a time when recovery can feel slow or uncertain.

Perifit and Elvie are both app-connected biofeedback pelvic floor trainers and are the two most well-known devices in this category. Both use internal sensors to detect pelvic floor contractions and provide real-time visual feedback through a smartphone app. Both are made from medical-grade silicone and are designed for comfortable, discreet home use. Both have large global user bases and strong clinical support from physiotherapists and gynaecologists. However, they differ in several meaningful ways that may influence which device suits you. Perifit uses a gamified approach with multiple interactive games that respond to your contractions in real time: flying a bird, navigating obstacles, and other engaging formats that make training feel less like exercise and more like play. This gamification is a significant motivator for long-term consistency, which is ultimately the most important factor in pelvic floor training outcomes. Elvie uses a simpler visualisation with guided exercises and a gem-lifting metaphor. It also includes a smaller, self-contained pod design with no external tail, which some women find more aesthetically appealing or comfortable for extended wear. Elvie's approach is more clinically straightforward, while Perifit prioritises engagement and motivation. From a price and value perspective, Perifit is more affordable than Elvie in Australia. Perifit has been used by over 900,000 women globally with high user satisfaction and strong clinical outcomes data. Both devices are effective for biofeedback-guided pelvic floor training, and the choice often comes down to which app experience resonates with you, your budget, and the physical design you find most comfortable. At Blossom Pelvic Health, we stock both Perifit and Elvie so you can choose the device that suits you. If you are unsure, our team can help you weigh up the differences based on your specific needs, budget, and preferences for either gamification or clinical simplicity.

Pelvic floor muscle training is one of the most important conservative management strategies for pelvic organ prolapse, and biofeedback devices like Perifit can support and enhance this training. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles provides better support to the pelvic organs — the bladder, uterus, and rectum — and can meaningfully reduce prolapse symptoms such as vaginal heaviness, dragging sensations, a visible bulge, urinary incontinence, and difficulty emptying the bladder or bowel. Studies show that many women can improve or even resolve mild to moderate prolapse through consistent pelvic floor muscle training. However, if you have a diagnosed prolapse, it is essential to consult with a pelvic health physiotherapist before starting any internal device. They can assess your prolapse grade and type, check that you are contracting your pelvic floor correctly (and critically, not bearing down, which can worsen prolapse), and advise on whether a biofeedback device is appropriate for your specific presentation. For some grades of prolapse, an internal device may not be recommended, or modifications to your training approach may be needed. A grade four prolapse, for example, requires different management than a grade one. Professional assessment ensures you use Perifit in a way that supports rather than stresses your pelvic organs. For many women with mild to moderate prolapse, Perifit can be a valuable training tool that makes kegel exercises more effective and consistent. The biofeedback is particularly important for prolapse management because it confirms you are lifting rather than pushing down — a distinction that is critical when the pelvic floor is already compromised. The progress tracking also helps you see improvements that may not be obvious from symptoms alone, which supports motivation to continue training. Always follow your physiotherapist's guidance on when to start, how to position the device, and what training intensity is appropriate for your situation. Many women with managed prolapse report that Perifit has been instrumental in improving their symptoms and restoring confidence.

Most evidence-based pelvic floor training programs recommend exercising two to three times per week for optimal results, and this is what Perifit's app guides you toward. Each session typically takes five to ten minutes, making it genuinely easy to fit into even the busiest schedule. The app structures each session with a combination of quick contractions (for fast-twitch muscle fibres that support sudden efforts like coughing and sneezing) and sustained holds (for slow-twitch fibres that provide ongoing support throughout the day). This variety ensures you are training both types of muscle fibre for comprehensive strengthening. Consistency matters more than intensity. Short, regular sessions two to three times per week produce significantly better outcomes than occasional marathon sessions. Most women begin to notice improved awareness and control of their pelvic floor within the first two to three weeks. Measurable gains in strength and bladder control typically become evident after six to eight weeks of consistent training. These timelines are consistent with how skeletal muscle responds to progressive resistance training generally. Continuing beyond eight weeks produces ongoing improvements in strength and control, with many women seeing continued progress for several months. To use Perifit, insert the device as you would a tampon, connect to the free app via Bluetooth, and follow the on-screen exercises or games. Each contraction moves your character on screen, providing instant feedback on your technique, timing, and strength. After each session, remove the device, wash with warm water and mild soap, and allow it to air dry completely before storing. Perifit is fully waterproof and made from medical-grade silicone, so cleaning is straightforward and hygienic. Use only water-based lubricant if needed for comfortable insertion, as oil-based and silicone-based lubricants can damage the silicone surface. Build Perifit training into your routine by using it at the same times each week, which helps establish the habit and improves long-term adherence.

Perifit is FDA-cleared in the United States, which means it has met the safety and performance requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration — one of the most rigorous regulatory bodies in the world. However, it is not currently listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which means it has not undergone TGA assessment in Australia. This is a common situation for many international health and wellness devices, particularly those classified as low-risk consumer health products. Many respected physiotherapy devices and health tools operate in this regulatory space globally. The absence of TGA listing does not mean the product is unsafe. Many high-quality health devices are legally sold in Australia without TGA registration, particularly when they are classified as general wellness devices rather than therapeutic goods requiring therapeutic claims. Perifit is made from medical-grade silicone that is free from BPA, phthalates, and EA (estrogenic activity). It has been used by over 900,000 women globally across multiple countries and is recommended by pelvic health professionals in clinical practice. The device has undergone extensive internal testing and quality assurance processes to ensure safety and reliability. Clinical research published in peer-reviewed journals supports its effectiveness for pelvic floor training outcomes. At Blossom Pelvic Health, we have independently assessed the device's clinical design, material safety, published user outcome data, and professional endorsements before choosing to stock it. We are transparent about its regulatory status because we believe informed decision-making is important. As with any health device, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting a new pelvic floor training program, particularly if you have an existing pelvic floor condition, a diagnosed prolapse, recent pelvic surgery, or are in the early postpartum period. This consultation ensures Perifit is appropriate for your specific clinical context and that you are using it as part of a coherent management plan.

Blossom Pelvic Health stocks two Perifit models: the standard Perifit and the Perifit Care+. Both connect to the same free Perifit app and both provide real-time biofeedback during pelvic floor training through interactive games and exercises. The core biofeedback technology and app experience are shared across both devices, ensuring that either model will provide the benefits of gamified, feedback-guided training. The Perifit Care+ is the newer, advanced model with improved sensor technology that offers more precise detection of pelvic floor contractions and relaxation. This enhanced sensitivity can provide more nuanced feedback, particularly for women with very weak pelvic floors who may find that the standard model does not register subtle contractions effectively. The Care+ also features an updated design and improved Bluetooth connectivity for a smoother, more reliable app experience without dropouts or lag. The sensors are more responsive to smaller movements, which can be motivating for women with severe weakness who might not see progress with the standard model. For most women starting pelvic floor training, the standard Perifit provides excellent biofeedback and is the more affordable option, making it accessible to more people. The Care+ may be worth the additional investment if you want the most precise feedback available, if you have been told you have a very weak pelvic floor, if you are recovering from severe postpartum weakness or pelvic trauma, or if you want the latest hardware and sensor technology for the smoothest possible experience. Both models are effective clinical tools that produce meaningful improvements in pelvic floor strength and control. If you are unsure which is right for you, your pelvic health physiotherapist can advise based on your current pelvic floor strength and training goals, or you can contact our team for guidance based on your specific situation.

Perifit is a valuable tool, but it is not a replacement for professional assessment and guidance from a pelvic health physiotherapist. Think of it as a complement to professional care, not a substitute for it. A physiotherapist brings expertise that no device can replicate: they can assess whether your pelvic floor is weak, tight, or both; identify specific muscle imbalances and asymmetries; check for prolapse or other structural issues; and design a treatment plan that addresses your complete picture rather than just strengthening. They can also identify if your symptoms originate from the pelvic floor or from another structure entirely. This distinction matters because not everyone needs the same approach. If your pelvic floor is hypertonic (too tight), using a kegel trainer without professional guidance could actually worsen your symptoms by adding more tension to already overactive muscles. If you have a prolapse, you need specific advice on safe exercise parameters and correct recruitment patterns. If you are postpartum, your recovery timeline and approach should be tailored to your birth experience, any tearing, and your tissue healing status. A biofeedback device cannot assess these nuances — a physiotherapist can. Additionally, physiotherapists can identify postural factors, breathing patterns, or lifestyle factors that contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction and address those alongside device-guided training. The ideal scenario is to see a pelvic health physiotherapist for an initial assessment, receive a tailored exercise prescription, and then use Perifit at home as a tool to ensure you are performing your exercises correctly and consistently between appointments. Many physiotherapists actively recommend biofeedback devices like Perifit to their patients because they improve exercise compliance and technique accuracy — two of the biggest factors in achieving good outcomes. At Blossom Pelvic Health, we always encourage professional assessment alongside product use because we believe in evidence-based, holistic pelvic health care that integrates professional guidance with supportive home technology.
