VAGINAL WEIGHTS

The StepFree carrying case contains a tampon
shaped plastic cone and a set of vaginal weights made of plastic and stainless steel.

1. Rinse the cone and used weights in warm, not
hot, water.

2. Use a soft cloth and a mild soap such as Ivory or an antibacterial hand soap. Gently scrub the cone surface, the string and any used vaginal weights. Do not use alcohol or a product containing alcohol as it may cause damage.

3. Thoroughly rinse the cone and vaginal weights under warm tap water to remove all soap residue.

4. Thoroughly dry the cone and used weights with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Store the cone and weights in the container provided.

5. Prior to each use, inspect the cone and weights for cracks or any signs of damage. Do not use the cone or the weights if they appear cracked or damaged in any way, as they may cause injury.

6. Periodic washing of the carrying case is also
recommended.

Once you've reached your goal of improved
bladder control, proceed to the "StepFree Muscle Maintenance Program." It is important that you continue your exercises to keep your muscles intone, otherwise you may begin to leak urine again. Everyone is different, so progress at your own pace. It is not necessary for every woman to use all the weights or to use the "Additional StepFree Exercises." Once you've reached your goal of improved bladder control, proceed to the "StepFree Muscle Maintenance Program."

In prospective, comparing the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercises with vaginal weights
in combination of these two techniques produced greater improvement in urinary incontinence.
