Dr Hilary Jones is a general practitioner and also a television (ITV Daybreak) and radio presenter (BBC Radio2 Steve Wright Show), and a writer on medical issues. In his column in Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Dec/Jan2013 he wrote:

Unfortunately, the pelvic floor exercise leaflets that are handed out have little proven value. Many doctors take the view that surgery alone can make a difference, but it often fails to bring about a complete long-term solution. So it amazes me why so few women (and doctors for that matter) know about the PelvicToner.

Dr Sarah Brewer

Media Doctor Sarah Brewer has strong opinions about how pelvic floor muscle exercises are taught:

"Dr Arnold Kegel reported a landmark study in 1952 linking sexual satisfaction for women and the muscle tone of their pelvic floor.

In many ways, we have failed women ever since by not telling them how to do these exercises correctly. The secret – as identified by Kegel – is to improve muscle tone by exercising against resistance.

People understand that to improve muscle it’s no good just lifting our arms in the air – no matter how many repetitions we do.

We have to introduce some form of resistance to get good results, and it’s the same with pelvic floor exercise.

Encouraging women to squeeze repeatedly when sat on the bus or to use devices that do not offer resistance, means many women are wasting their time and increasing their sense of frustration.

Strengthening the female pelvic floor muscles tightens the vaginal embrace, increasing friction and pleasure during love-making, which benefits both partners. Clinical research shows the PelvicToner increases the strength of pelvic floor exercises by 28%, and improves resting pelvic muscle tone by almost 10%. As a result, four out of five women report increased sexual satisfaction."

Professor Marcus Drake

Professor Marcus Drake of the Bristol Urology Institute, says:

"continence service provision is patchy and this sort of product empowers women, gives them better privacy and the prospect of not wasting their time. In our study the PelvicToner aided women to identify their pelvic floor confidently. It increases patient choice and may promote subsequent compliance and sustained efficacy.''

Professor Paul Abrams

Paul Abrams, Professor of Urology at the Bristol Urological Institute said:

"It is 60 years since Arnold Kegel proposed pelvic floor exercises as a treatment for stress incontinence but a simple, effective method of putting all his principles into practice has eluded us. The PelvicToner™ seems to meet all the requirements that Kegel envisaged - it is a simple, patient-friendly, progressive resistance exercise device and provides feedback to the patient that the correct muscles are being engaged.”
