Easy Kegel

I started using this app as part of physical therapy prior to radical Prostate surgery. I was having a hard time counting and squeezing and recording progress. I figured the must be an app... and after looking at several it is clear that Easy Kegel is extremely well designed to help encourage regular exercise, set up timed sequences, and record efforts. The interface is just right, not over designed, but well thought out, clear and beautifully minimal. My robotically assisted surgery was successful, and after a week and my catheter was removed I started kegels again. Decided to pay for the app, not because I needed to change the color (as I guy I had gotten use to the pink interface!) but to support such good design of an incredibly helpful tool. Thank you Easy Kegel. Two weeks after surgery I basically have no issues with continence, (a big concern before going into surgery) and will continue to use the app to help maintain confidence and control.

Great as far as being able to use it in the background. Only thing i would add is the ability to change the vibration, the vibration is so strong it makes it difficult to do it at work without a lot of people hearing my phone buzzing, maybe a lower level vibration!? Other than that I love it! Saw results within 7 days- I Set mine to 99 sets of 1 sec squeeze and 1 sec rest and I also have mine set for 99 sets of 99 sec squeeze and 5 sec hold. Definitely increases your grip also try do squats with 2 dumbbells 10lbs each, when you squat keep your back straight and your arms straight down, allow the dumbbells to lightly touch the ground as you squat down and then slowly come back up. As your going-down exhale and clench your vaginal muscles, when the dumbbells touch the ground release your clench and then exhale- clench and then slowly rise up again while clenching your vaginal muscles. Adding weights will help slim your inner thighs and strengthen your vaginal muscles.

I’m two weeks in and I am seeing incredible results. When I tried to do this on my own a few years back with the guidance specialized physical therapist, I never made this much progress. The app helps me keep track of my “workouts” with reminders and the exercise interface/timer is tremendously helpful. I am still in awe of how much progress I’ve made so far! On the things that could be better: a more aesthetically pleasing interface, stronger visual cues for the different parts of the workouts (squeeze vs relax) and an easier way to figure out how to set up your workout. I went with the default 5 sec squeeze increasing the squeeze by 5 secs each week and once increased the number of reps, and it worked, but at first I didn’t feel confident in the setting I chose. But all in all, I am still very pleased, and glad to have the help of this little app.

I’m using the free version and love it. I like that there was some info about how to properly do kegels, but I also went online to verify the info. I could care less about colors within the app because I’m not looking at it. The one thing I needed was 3 reminders, but since the free version does not have that I just use my alarm app. It’s nice that the app offers on/off controls for both vibration and audio. I can use audio when I’m alone so I don’t have to hold my phone. And I can hold my phone on my lap or in my hand for vibrations when others are around. Laying it on a table makes the vibration audible to all! Lol! This is just the app I need as I grow older. I used to do my kegles in the car on my way to and from work. But now that I’m retired... well let’s just say that I’ve lapsed and that had consequences. Love this app!

This app is wonderful - it’s been a helpful addition to the regimen my doc prescribed but there is one suggestion I’d like to make. With the slow testing there’s the ability to change it as needed but the quick ones can’t be modified (ie, you can’t specify to do 5 sets of 5 quick). This is the only thing I wish could be changed because I have to pause the test to follow my doc’s advice and I’m not getting the pause button tapped in enough time and then the rest of the test is messed up. Adding the same personalization here as with the slow would be helpful here too.
