Elvie Trainer

Elvie Trainer: Our In-Depth Review

The Elvie Trainer is one of the most recognized names in smart kegel training. Designed by Tania Boler, a women's health expert, this sleek device combines clinical-grade biofeedback technology with an approachable, beautifully designed app experience.

Design & Build Quality

The first thing you notice about the Elvie is how unlike a medical device it looks. The smooth, oval-shaped trainer is made from medical-grade silicone and fits comfortably. It comes in a compact mint-green case that doubles as a charger — you could leave it on your nightstand without anyone knowing what it is.

The device is fully waterproof (IPX7 rated), making it easy to clean. At just 28mm in diameter, it's one of the smaller smart trainers on the market, which many users appreciate for comfort.

How It Works

The Elvie uses force and motion sensors to detect your pelvic floor contractions in real time. The companion app (iOS and Android) displays your squeeze strength as a gem that you lift, hold, and pulse through guided exercises. It's surprisingly engaging — almost like a game.

Each workout takes about 5 minutes and includes a series of exercises targeting different aspects of pelvic floor strength: quick squeezes, sustained holds, and pulse patterns. The app adjusts difficulty based on your performance over time.

App Experience

The Elvie app is where this product truly shines. The interface is clean and motivating, with clear visualizations of your workout performance. You can track your progress over weeks and months, seeing measurable improvements in strength and endurance. The streak system adds a motivational layer that keeps you coming back.

Results & Effectiveness

In clinical studies, 95% of Elvie users reported improvement in bladder control after just 4 weeks of regular use. Our testers reported noticeable improvements in pelvic floor awareness within the first week, with measurable strength gains by week 3.

The visual feedback completely changed kegel training for me. I had no idea if I was doing them correctly before, and now I can actually see my progress.

Who Is It Best For?

The Elvie Trainer is ideal for anyone who wants the best app experience in kegel training. It's particularly well-suited for tech-comfortable users who appreciate app-based tracking, beginners who need form guidance, and postpartum recovery. The higher price is justified by the quality of the biofeedback and the polished app experience.

The Verdict

The Elvie Trainer delivers the most polished app experience of any kegel trainer we've tested. While it comes at a premium price, the combination of accurate biofeedback, an exceptional app, and a thoughtful design makes it a strong runner-up in our rankings. If app quality is your top priority, the Elvie won't disappoint.
