Is Flyte right for me?
Flyte® is designed to help women who want to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and treat mild, moderate or severe stress urinary incontinence (SUI) — the bladder leaks that happen when you laugh, cough, sneeze, exercise or lift things.
Wondering if Flyte® can help you? Here are some steps to take.
Think about Flyte if you:
- Are tired of keeping pads in your purse, "just in case".
- Want to wear the fun colored leggings for your workout class, without worrying about leaks.
- Want to avoid surgery. Flyte delivers surgical-level results, without the risks, costs, or recovery time of surgery - from the comfort of your home.
- Want a simple, effective treatment that works with, or without, an app.
- Have tried Kegels without success. Flyte® delivers results superior to doing Kegels on your own and is designed to work fast – in as little as 5 minutes per day for a six-week standard treatment time. It actually treats your bladder leaks.
- Are looking for a treatment backed by strong clinical evidence. We believe that women deserve safe, effective, well-studied products. See Flyte's® clinical evidence.
- Are comfortable with using an intravaginal device. We get it. Some women won’t be and that’s OK. Others will weigh the benefits and decide to try it.
- Are ready to prioritize yourself for 5 minutes per day for the 6-week standard treatment time (the shortest treatment time compared to other home-use treatments).
- Are tired of spending money on pads. See our Cost of Coping article and consider Flyte® to help you save money over time.
- Looking to change your life for the better. Leaks don't go away on their own - it's time to take things into your own hands.

Take the Incontinence Quiz
Only a healthcare professional can diagnose you, but the questionnaire can give you insight into the type of incontinence you have. Flyte is designed to strengthen and treat weakened pelvic floor muscles – a cause of SUI.
Talk to a healthcare professional
There’s no substitute for a clinical consultation and medical advice provided by a doctor, nurse practitioner, or pelvic floor physical therapist.
If you've started using Flyte, you might be wondering, when do I call my doctor or healthcare professional? When do I contact Pelvital customer care? Here are some tips:
