Meet Pelvic Partner, an affordable new pelvic floor muscle trainer

• A new device called Pelvic Partner aims to help users properly perform pelvic floor exercises.
• Unlike many competitors, the device is screen-free and does not use an app or Bluetooth connection.
• It uses vibration and sensor technology to provide physical feedback for muscle contraction and relaxation.

Pelvic floor disorders affect millions of Americans, yet they’re still talked about in hushed tones or not at all. Research published in JAMA estimates that 1 in 3 women will experience a pelvic floor disorder in their lifetime, and nearly a quarter of U.S. women report at least one moderate-to-severe symptom. Urinary incontinence alone impacts over 25 million adults in the U.S., according to the National Association for Continence.

Despite how common these issues are, many people don’t know how to properly perform pelvic floor exercises—or they simply struggle to stick with them. That’s where Pelvic Partner, a new pelvic floor trainer from Smile Makers, stands out. The brand, known for normalizing conversations around sexual health and wellness, has spent more than a decade bringing the intimate category into mainstream wellness aisles.

What is the Pelvic Partner?

Pelvic Partner is a pelvic floor trainer built for awareness, control and consistency, not screens or gamification. Unlike app-connected devices that track data and aren't always the most user-friendly, Pelvic Partner strips the process down to what pelvic health specialists say matters most: understanding how to properly engage—and fully release—the pelvic floor muscles.

Key features:

• 360° squeeze-sensor technology detects pelvic muscle engagement all around the device
• Gentle vibration during contraction that only stops when full relaxation is achieved
• Multiple resistance modes, similar to strength training
• No app, no Bluetooth, no tracking and no digital fatigue
• Comfortable flexible stem for easy positioning
• Price: Just $69, significantly more affordable than other pelvic trainers

Is Pelvic Partner app-connected?

No. There’s no app, tracking, Bluetooth or data. It’s a screen-free wellness tool designed for ease and consistency.

Who is Pelvic Partner best for?

Anyone interested in improving pelvic floor strength, control or awareness. It’s commonly used for urinary leakage, postpartum recovery or preventative pelvic health.

How is the Pelvic Partner different from doing Kegel exercises

For years, Kegel exercises have been the go-to recommendation for pelvic floor strengthening. But research and physiotherapists increasingly point out that technique matters drastically, and many patients aren’t activating or relaxing the right muscles. Here are the key differences:

• Kegels can be difficult to perform correctly without feedback
• Many people unknowingly clench throughout the day
• Pelvic Partner provides instant, physical cues (not digital data)
• Users learn both contraction and full release, which improves control over time

How is it different from more expensive pelvic trainers?

Higher-priced devices often include gamification and smartphone dashboards. Pelvic Partner offers a simpler, more affordable approach focused on physical feedback rather than digital metrics.
