Good E-Stim for incontinence therapy

Hi all, I am new here and for a bit different reason and need your help. I looked high and low and found this community has a lot of experience with estim. I have incontinent problem and have been on estim therapy for 6 weeks now with kegel exercises and doing very well. However, I will be needing a portable personal system to continue my therapy at home when my insurance runs out at end of october. Not very happy at that situation 😢. Anyway, you men and women that use these types of units may know how to help me compare and purchase the best one. I am currently using the pathway estim-10 it retails for $425 and the vaginal probe is about $40 .

the specs for the pathway are. I am familiar with the pathway estim model so I want to stay with this one. But, I need to know what you think about the quality and power of this system compare to each system. Thank you very much for all your help.

Programmable Settings:

•SESSION TIME SETTINGS: (MIN) 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

Thank you Mashie. I discovered this place by accident. I might like it. 😮

I hope someone can answer it soon.

Go to the search feature on here are do some research to see what you can find. While I can't recall off the top of my head anyone asking for this exact thing, but you might get some good ideas, suggestions, or be able to look at the folks who are into that sort of thing. You will start to see the same names showing up time and time again. You might want to send them a message asking them if they would mind if they viewed the link to this post and if they could offer any help or ideas, suggestions etc. Most here are willing to help. Make sure in you message you copy and paste the link so they can easily find it. Tell 'em Mashie sent you. Good luck.

Also, the answers you seek are not complicated or hard to find, you just need to find the right person for the job. Sorry I can be of further assistance to you in this matter. Take care.

If the probe below is the vaginal one you're speaking of, I can tell you a bit about it. It is, I believe, one of the models that the British medical service gives to women when they leave the hospital after having a difficult birth -- in order to get their vaginal muscles back into trim. It is quite inexpensive, partly I suppose because they are produced in large numbers. I have a similar but different one of them. I think any one of the many vaginal trodes sold would work for you, but this one is usually one of the least expensive available.

These are also commonly sold by sexual Internet sites for use as a sex toy. Reportedly, women in Britain who use these toys after giving birth, often don't ever stop using them. The advice is something like to use them for at least a half hour, twice per day, for about 9 months. So, after hubby leaves and the baby is taken care of and is asleep, the new mom lies down for at least a half hour midmorning (and probably has an orgasm), and then does the same before bed (and either has another one or more, or gets warmed up for hubby). This results in probably the best sex life the woman has ever had, so it's understandable that she never stops using it. More than 50% of women say in surveys that they don't have an orgasm while having sexual intercourse with their husband.

Please note that any power box can be connected to any pair of electrodes -- although you may need an adapter if they don't have the same type of connectors. There are several "standard" connectors, and adapters are sold on Internet sites, and probably in better sex shops and electronic parts stores.

The price of this power unit seems very high. I'm not an expert, but in my experience, even cheap medical TENS units can output enough power to make most men or women uncomfortable. I have an AME-3000 made by Austin Medical Equipment, which is a highly recommended medical TENS unit. I paid about $70 for it. They make some fancier ones for more. I understand that TENS units can be bought for as little as $30 -- tho the cheaper ones may not have 2 independent channels. The very best sexual TENS unit in the world, the ET-312, has a fairly high power output, costs $500 new, and can do a LOT more than just beep-beep & BUZZZZ. It's got rhythms. It will certainly exercise your pelvic floor!

Hi Cali

I am a male and use E-Stim for enjoyment. There are basically 3 types of power Box used for different things:

Tens - for pain relief, sometimes used for play and kegel exercise but are lacking the power

PES - used to stimulate muscles to contract used to trim and loose weight. Powerful low frequency pulses.

E-Stim - used to excite nerve endings. Depending on the waveform (generated by the box or from a computer) can induce orgasm or kegel exercises.

I made my own power box and use it for all of the above. There is lots of detail on the Smartstim.com site
