- Pelviva is a single use, disposable pelvic floor muscle re-trainer that uses a specially developed stimulation programme to treat weak pelvic floor muscles that cause bladder leakage in women.

The pelviva exercises your pelvic floor muscles to prevent bladder leaks when you laugh, sneeze, cough or exercise and to help you hold on when you urgently need the toilet. It is not instead of your pelvic floor muscle exercises, it is a useful to combine with your own activation; another tool in the box!
