I am a 27 yr old woman with two small children. After the birth of my second I was having some issues. I believe it's called "stress incontinence". After doing kegel after kegel, or what I thought were kegels, I was still having issues. Unfortunately I was peeing on myself after sneezes, coughs, jumping, running... the list goes on. I started looking for solutions because obviously I wasn't doing something right. I landed on this product because it's something I can do around my children and at my own pace. I was very skeptical especially after reading the 1 star review. I used it for a week and realized I was using the product wrong, probably much like our 1 star reviewer. To use it properly you have to hold the front of the product in place with your hand, well I had to anyhow, otherwise it just slid down my legs and the wings wouldn't compress. The instructions are very literal and tell you what to do; it's a fantastic guide to help you do a kegel properly. I use it only 2-3 times a week and the results are amazing. It's also a great workout for the thighs and butt.
