Two pressure sensors sit inside this probe, and they read different things. The superficial sensor reads the pelvic floor contraction itself. The deep sensor reads intra-abdominal pressure, which is how the app can tell a genuine pelvic floor squeeze from you bearing down or bracing your stomach — a common way unguided kegels go wrong, and one you cannot catch on your own. Perifit states the sensors detect contractions as light as 50 grams, and more than twenty phone games run off those readings.
Two sensors — so it can tell a real pelvic floor squeeze from you bracing your stomach.
Relaxation gets equal billing here, deliberately. Perifit states that every training programme in the app includes phases of contraction and phases of relaxation, usually twice as many of the latter. A pelvic floor that will not release is its own problem, and it is the half that printed kegel instructions almost never mention. The games are built to train both directions rather than only to squeeze harder, which is a design decision rather than a feature list.
Perifit Care holds United States FDA 510(k) clearance, granted in February 2023 under submission number K221476 to X6 Innovations, the Paris company behind the brand. Clearance is not the same as approval and we will not upgrade the word — it means the device was found substantially equivalent to one already on the market. In Europe it carries a Class I medical CE mark, which is self-declared by the manufacturer rather than certified by an outside body. Those are the two credentials we can point at directly, and we would rather tell you what they actually mean than let the letters do work they have not earned.
No charging port, and no motor either. The battery is sealed and non-rechargeable, rated by Perifit to last years of regular training, so there is nothing to plug in and nothing to vibrate — this is a training instrument rather than a toy. Perifit publishes a five-year guarantee on the battery specifically; the guide in the box sets a shorter term for other defects, so read that card rather than the flat five-year figure that circulates online. The body is medical-grade silicone, free of BPA and phthalates according to Perifit.
We stock it because it does the one thing a printed kegel handout cannot, which is tell you whether you are actually doing it. Ships from Ottawa in plain packaging, with no charging cable to lose.
