Incostress

An innovation designed by women for women.

Controls incontinence and helps strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

How Incostress works

Worn the same way as a tampon, it gently supports the urethra and bladder neck bringing these into a natural anatomical position. 

If the user coughs, sneezes or places any exersion on the lower abdomen the support Incostress offers controls the involuntary loss of urine, allowing the user to a better quality of life. 

The other benefit Incostress offers to the user is that it can be used in conjunction with physiotherapy training of pelvic floor training. (Kegel exercises) 

Incostress is ergonomically shaped to allow the user to be able to squeeze the incostress and engage the core muscles of the pelvic floor. Incostress can be used as a pelvic floor exerciser.

Incostress is the only product which can be used as a medical device to control female incontinence and doubles up as a pelvic floor exerciser.

When to use Incostress

Incostress can be used day and/or night or simple when required. It offers the user total control.
