Biofeedback

Several studies report that biofeedback that focuses on the workings of the pelvic floor muscles can help improve bladder control in some women. A transvaginal sensor inserted into the vagina and connected to a computer and monitor measures muscular activity, showing a woman just how effectively she is contracting her pelvic muscles. The monitor presents instant feedback as to which muscles need more training and strengthening.

Vaginal Cones

These tampon-shaped, hard plastic weights are, in essence, a type of biofeedback technique that can help a woman strengthen her pelvic-floor muscles to achieve better bladder control. Once a cone is inserted into the vagina, a woman walks around and tries to hold it in by tensing appropriate muscles. If the cone slides out, she is tensing the wrong muscles and needs further pelvic training.
