plusOne Kegel Trainer Pelvic Floor Exerciser

The plusOne Kegel Trainer is an insertable pelvic floor exerciser with a handheld remote whose lights respond when you squeeze, so you can see each contraction instead of guessing if you're doing it right. It also has a separate play mode with five vibration settings, which makes it a two-in-one: a squeeze trainer with visual feedback, and a small vibrator.

What the light feedback shows

Kegel exercises are squeezes of the muscles you'd use to stop the flow of urine, held and released in sets. They're hard to do by feel alone, because the muscles are internal and it's easy to tense the stomach or thighs instead. The trainer sits inside the vagina and senses the squeeze. LED indicator lights on the remote then light up to show how strong each one is. More lights means a firmer squeeze. Seeing that response makes it easier to tell a real contraction from a near miss, and to notice if you're holding as long as you meant to.

plusOne doesn't publish a set routine in the information we have, so follow the instructions in the box, and for any medical question about your pelvic floor, plusOne's own advice is to speak to your doctor first.

Play mode

Switch to play mode and the insertable part becomes a vibrator, with five settings to choose from. Some people use it purely for pleasure; others like to finish a session of squeezes with a few minutes of vibration. Either way, it's the same device, so there's nothing extra to buy or store.

Inserting it comfortably

The silicone is smooth and soft, and the shape is slim, which keeps insertion simple. Lie on your back with your knees bent, or stand with one foot raised on a step. A little water-based lube on the tip helps. Insert it until the body sits inside and only the tail rests outside, then relax for a moment before you begin. If it feels uncomfortable or slips out, adjust the angle, or try lying down instead of standing.

Battery and charging

It runs on a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery and gives up to about an hour of use per charge. A quick-charging magnetic USB cable is included, so there's no open port to clean around, and a low battery indicator tells you when it's time to top up. Charge it fully before the first use.

Who it suits

The trainer suits people who want a simple, screen-free way to see their squeezes, without pairing an app or holding a phone. The feedback lives on the remote, so a session can be done lying down with the lights in view. If you'd prefer guided programmes and tracking over time, an app-connected trainer from our pelvic exercisers range may suit you better, while weighted kegel balls are an option if you want something you wear without any feedback at all.

Cleaning

Because it's fully waterproof, you can wash it under running water. Clean it before and after each use with warm water and a mild unscented soap or toy cleaner, rinse well, then pat it dry with a lint-free cloth. Let it dry completely in the air before storing it in a pouch or its box. The remote only needs a wipe with a damp cloth; don't soak it. Our toy care guide has more tips.
