Who do I recommend it for?
If your pelvic floor muscles are still fine but you want to prevent weakening — for example before menopause, alongside regular sport, or to offset long sitting — the Fleur vaginal ball is a simple daily maintenance option.
Can be used to support postpartum pelvic floor recovery after the six‑week medical check (eight weeks after episiotomy). It cannot replace electrostimulation treatment on its own, but as an adjunct it can help maintain muscle strength between treatments. If uterine or bladder prolapse is present, find detailed guidance in my article on treating prolapse.
If you already use an electrostimulator (Kegel Toner, Perfect PFE, Biolito or evoStim), the Fleur vaginal ball can be used on non‑treatment days as complementary training. Active Kegel exercises and passive wearing together may support training effectiveness.
If you dislike electrostimulation, the Fleur vaginal ball is a non‑electrical alternative. Note: its effectiveness is limited compared with electrostimulation — if symptoms do not improve, reconsider stimulator‑based treatment.
How does the vaginal ball work?
The Fleur vaginal ball trains the pelvic floor muscles in two ways:
Passive training (wearing): The weight of the balls (75 g) pulls downward — your pelvic floor muscles reflexively contract to keep the balls in place. This is continuous, low‑intensity muscle work that can help maintain muscle tone.
Active training (Kegel exercises): You can use the balls as resistance to make conscious contractions more intense. This can be a more effective variant of traditional Kegel exercises.
Important difference compared with electrostimulation: The vaginal ball relies only on voluntary muscle action — it trains muscles you can consciously contract. Electrostimulation devices (such as the Kegel Toner or the Perfect PFE) reach muscle fibres you cannot move voluntarily. That is why electrostimulation is a more effective approach in more severe incontinence.
Frequently asked questions
It may be useful for prevention and mild symptoms as a complementary measure. If incontinence symptoms are already present (regular dripping), the vaginal ball alone is usually not sufficient — an electrostimulation device (e.g. Kegel Toner, Perfect PFE) is a more effective approach.
Do not use during pregnancy, within six weeks after childbirth (eight weeks after episiotomy), with uterine or bladder prolapse, with active vaginal infection, or under 18 years of age. If unsure, consult your treating physician.
Yes, this is the recommended use: the electrostimulator (e.g. Kegel Toner, Perfect PFE, Biolito) performs the main therapy, and the Fleur vaginal ball can be used on the days between sessions as complementary training. The two do not replace each other but complement one another.
A daily maximum of 1 hour is recommended. Excessive wearing can cause muscle fatigue, which is counterproductive. Start with 15–20 minutes and gradually increase to 1 hour.
The Fleur is 75 g, which provides medium resistance. If you are looking for a heavier variant or a progressive system, consult your treating physician about the appropriate load level.
Wash with warm water and mild soap before and after each use. Dry thoroughly and store in a dry, clean place. Do not use alcohol‑based cleaners.
How to use the Fleur vaginal ball?
1
Insert the balls
Moisten the balls with water or a water‑based lubricant and insert them comfortably into the vagina. The retrieval cord should remain outside.
2
Passive training – wearing
Carry on with your daily activities while wearing the balls — up to 1 hour per day. Your pelvic floor muscles will work involuntarily to keep the balls in place. This is continuous, low‑intensity training.
3
Active training – Kegel exercises
You can also use the balls as resistance: contract your pelvic floor muscles for 5 seconds, then relax for 5 seconds. Repeat 10–15 times, 2–3 sets per day. The balls add extra resistance to the exercise.
4
Remove and clean
Gently pull out by the retrieval cord. After use wash with warm water and mild soap, then dry.
5
Regular use
Daily 30–60 minutes of passive wearing and/or 2–3 sets of active Kegel exercises. Improvement is felt with regular use over weeks.

Important information
The Fleur vaginal ball is CE‑marked, a class II medical device (MDR, manufactured according to ISO 13485). It is an adjunct device for pelvic floor muscle training — it does not replace medical treatment or electrostimulation therapy.
The effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) for treating urinary incontinence is supported by Cochrane systematic reviews.1
The information on this site is for guidance only. Home therapy devices are intended to complement medical treatment and do not replace it. Consult your treating physician in case of symptoms.
