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 Sure+ 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 depends
very much on the individual and any
pre-existing physical conditions, so
slowly increase the
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 Sure+, and to sustain the
contraction into the rest interval. If
possible, link the contraction to your
breathing to get into a gentle rhythm.
Increase the strength as high as it is
comfortable, and then take it back down

Optional skin surface
placement for URGE (this may not be
as effective as the stimulation with
the vaginal probe)
An alternative method to a vaginal
probe is to stimulate areas of the skin
that are close to the nerves that go to
the bladder and urethra. These come
from the parts of the spinal cord
segment called S2-S3. See electrode
placement picture below.
