3) With the required programme
selected, you can adjust the
intensity of the muscle stimulation
until you reach a comfortable
level. Once you have reached a
comfortable level, 5 seconds
after you stop pressing the button,
the intermittent work/rest phase
will start. The machine will take
itself to 0 mA for a rest period and
then take itself back up to the
level of intensity you chose, to
work the muscle. This cycle will
continue for the 20 minutes of the
programme.
Note: The strength required
varies widely between users
- some will use the Unicare at
full power – 99 mA. The Unicare
strength will go up at 1 mA
increments.
Initially the sensation through the
probe may be limited but will
improve during treatment. Take
care not to use too much strength
and thereby over stimulate the
muscles until normal sensation is
restored. The sensation may not be
between the
press the
even as it may vary depending on
the sensitivity of the nerves.
The LCD display shows the strength
of intensity used. The aim is to
increase this over a few days. But
remember there is no hurry, so only
increase the strength
stimulation as and when you are
comfortable and ready to progress.
Note: If

reduce the intensity using
the button ▼.
When switched on, in STRES and
TONE programmes the unit will go
through an exercise programme for
4-5 seconds, followed by a rest
period of 8-10 seconds. The Unicare
causes a sensation which feels like a
strong drawing in of the vagina and
pulling up of the pelvic floor. The
natural reaction will be to pull in and
up with the muscles.
At lower strength settings, you may
not feel any sensation at all, this

increase the intensity by repeatedly
pressing the ▲ button until you
begin to feel the muscles around
your vagina contract.
For best results in these programmes
try to contract the pelvic floor
muscles along with the Unicare, and
to sustain the contraction into the
rest interval. If possible, link the
