Who do I recommend it for?
Sound familiar? The baby has arrived, but your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Vaginal birth places significant strain on the pelvic floor muscles, and recovery can take weeks or months.
The Fleuron balls can help restore pelvic floor strength after the early postnatal period (min. 6 weeks). Start with the lightest 48 g ball and progress to heavier levels at your own pace. Research suggests postpartum pelvic floor training can benefit both urinary control and sexual function. If you also have uterine or bladder descent, you’ll find detailed guidance in my article on uterine prolapse treatment.
Always ask your doctor or midwife for approval before use!
Sound familiar? Leaking urine during a sneeze, laugh or sudden movement is a symptom of stress urinary incontinence. It is a consequence of pelvic floor weakness and very common – but you don’t have to accept it.
A Cochrane systematic review (23 trials, 1,806 women) found that training with weighted vaginal devices is significantly more effective than no treatment for stress incontinence. Fleuron’s progressive weight system allows personalised training – start light and move up as you gain strength.
With regular 15-minute daily use, improvement can be noticeable within 4–6 weeks.
Sound familiar? Hormonal changes – especially lower oestrogen – can affect pelvic tissue elasticity and muscle strength. Many experience urinary symptoms or reduced sexual sensitivity during this time.
Regular pelvic floor training helps maintain muscle tone and pelvic circulation. Fleuron’s ‘‘ball-in-ball" design gives gentle passive stimulation that can help preserve muscle awareness even when active contractions feel harder due to hormonal changes.
Sound familiar? During sports – especially running, plyometrics or crossfit – many women experience urine leakage and avoid activity because of embarrassment. You don’t need to stop exercising!
Targeted pelvic floor strengthening can help make urinary control reliable during impact. Fleuron balls can be used independently of workouts, at any time of day – the training effect gradually integrates into daily life.
Sound familiar? Intimate moments may feel less intense, as if you’ve ‘‘lost’’ previous sensitivity. Pelvic floor weakness can affect sexual experience for both partners.
A strong, consciously controlled pelvic floor can improve sexual sensation. Regular training can favourably affect pelvic blood flow, which may contribute to improved sensitivity. Fleuron balls offer a discreet, at-home option for this.
How can the Fleuron vaginal ball help?
The pelvic floor is a complex group of muscles that supports the bladder, uterus and rectum. When these muscles weaken – due to childbirth, hormonal changes, ageing or a sedentary lifestyle – issues can arise: urine leakage, a sensation of pelvic organ descent, or reduced sexual sensitivity.
The Fleuron vaginal balls work on the principle of progressive resistance. A ball inserted into the vagina is pulled downward by gravity, so the pelvic floor muscles must work continuously to keep it in place. This “passive training” effectively builds strength without requiring focused exercise.
The "ball-in-ball" internal structure produces a gentle vibration with every movement. This natural biofeedback helps your muscles learn the correct activation pattern – similar in concept to biofeedback devices, but without electricity, completely naturally.
Frequently asked questions
Do not use during pregnancy, active vaginal infection (fungal, bacterial or viral), within 6 weeks after childbirth, during the healing period after vaginal surgery, or in the presence of advanced pelvic organ prolapse. Also avoid use for 12 weeks after IUD insertion. If in doubt, consult your healthcare professional!
Yes. A Cochrane systematic review (23 trials, 1,806 women) found that training with vaginal cones is significantly more effective than no treatment for stress urinary incontinence, and provides similar benefits to traditional pelvic floor exercises or electrostimulation.
Always start with the lightest 48 g ball. Insert it and try to hold it in while standing for 1–2 minutes. If that is easy, move to the next weight. Aim to train with a ball you can keep in, but that requires slight effort. Move up a level when you can comfortably hold a weight for 15 minutes.
Fifteen minutes a day is sufficient. You can start with 5 minutes daily and gradually increase. With regular daily use, strength improvement is often noticeable within 4–6 weeks. You can train during everyday activities – housework, cooking or walking.
Yes, but only after the postnatal period (minimum 6 weeks) and with medical approval. Postpartum recovery varies individually, so it’s important your doctor or midwife agrees. After caesarean section wait until wound healing is complete.
Wash the balls before and after use with warm, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Disinfecting wipes (e.g. TensCare Wipes) are also suitable. Store the balls in the supplied hygienic storage case. Do not use alcohol-based or strong cleaners, as these can damage the silicone surface.
How to use? It's this simple:
Choose the right ball
Start with the lightest 48 g ball. If you can comfortably hold it for 15 minutes, move to the next weight. The set contains 4 levels: 48 g, 57 g, 68 g and 105 g.
Insert the ball
Use a water-based lubricant for comfortable insertion. Insert the ball similarly to a tampon – the retrieval cord remains outside. Choose a comfortable position (semi-seated or standing).
Do your daily activities
Stand up and go about your day. Gravity pulls the ball down and your pelvic floor muscles reflexively work to keep it in place. The internal ball’s gentle vibration gives continuous feedback. Fifteen minutes a day is enough.
Remove and clean
Gently pull out the ball by the retrieval cord, like a tampon. Wash with warm soapy water, dry and return to the storage case. Done!
What's in the package?
- 4 Fleuron vaginal balls (48 g, 57 g, 68 g, 105 g)
- Hygienic storage case
- User manual (English)
For comfortable insertion we recommend a water-based lubricant. It is important to use only water-based gels – oil- or silicone-based lubricants can damage medical silicone. TensCare GoGel is a water-based lubricant formulated for intimate devices and provides optimal glide.
Wash the balls before and after use with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. You may use TensCare disinfecting wipes. Pathogens do not adhere to medical silicone, so boiling is unnecessary. Always store the balls in the supplied storage case in a dry place.
Important: Do not use alcohol-based, aggressive cleaners, perfumed soap or oil-based substances – these can damage the silicone surface.
