Flyte® is easy to use.

The Flyte® wand is covered in smooth medical-grade silicone to make insertion easy. We recommend applying a water-based vaginal lubricant to the wand if needed to make insertion easier.

Flyte® does not use electrical stimulation and your treatment should not be painful. During your treatment cycle you will feel Flyte's gentle vibrations.

You may experience some discomfort when you first begin to use an intravaginal device. This is normal and is similar to some of the muscle fatigue or soreness you might feel after starting any new exercise program.

Most women who have used Flyte® saw results within 6 weeks or less when used as directed, every day for 5 minutes. Depending on severity and duration of your symptoms, you may benefit from additional training up to 12 weeks. Those who choose to continue using Flyte® will often see additional improvement.

Flyte® provides long-lasting improvement. In clinical trial, 77% of women who used Flyte® as directed for 6 weeks reported continued continence 2 years later. All women in the clinical trial were able to avoid surgical treatments for incontinence, even though they were considering surgery prior to using Flyte.

After your initial treatment, you may use Flyte® as directed by your clinician, as needed to meet your personal goals, or to maintain pelvic floor muscle tone.

The Flyte® wand has sensors inside it that measure the tone of your pelvic floor muscles at rest and when you squeeze. The wand transmits this information to the handheld controller -- in other words, it tells you when to relax and contract (squeeze and lift) your pelvic floor muscles.

With each cycle, focus on the timing and coordination of your pelvic floor muscles. The blue lights reflect how well you are squeezing and lifting your pelvic floor muscles in comparison to your muscles at rest.

If you activate these lights (even very few!) and follow along, you know you are using Flyte® and engaging your pelvic floor muscles correctly.

This is how Flyte® teaches you how to properly activate, coordinate, and strengthen your pelvic floor. At the same time, Flyte’s® gentle mechanical vibrations (mechanotherapy) are amplifying the benefit of your squeezes (Kegels) by 39 times (data on file at Pelvital).

You will notice:

• Fewer leaks and less volume
• Contracting your pelvic floor muscles becomes easier with less fatigue
• Drier underwear or a reduction in the need for pads

Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see the results you want right away. It’s important to be patient and use the treatment daily for the 6-week standard treatment time. Stay positive and know that you are on a path to address the issue!

Flyte® is designed to strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles. To help learn how to do a Kegel to pair with Flyte®, check out our Kegel how-to guide.

Begin with breathing – inhale at rest to help relax your pelvic floor, then slowly exhale while performing steps 1 and 2.

• Step 1: Squeeze your pelvic muscles as if trying to make it to the bathroom or avoid passing gas.
• Step 2: Lift your pelvic floor muscles upward and inward (like sucking on a straw). Hold.
• Step 3: Release back to rest while inhaling.

Focus only on your pelvic floor muscles. Try to not use your abs, buttocks, or inner thighs. Avoid holding your breath.

Flyte® helps you do this in several ways. First, the wand provides you something to squeeze against, helping you “feel” where your pelvic floor muscles are. Second, Flyte’s® controller tells you when to relax and when to squeeze and shows you the difference in tone between your relaxation and your squeeze. Third, Flyte’s® use of mechanotherapy improves your muscle recruitment and the quality and durability of your exercise!

Know that there are many different techniques to help find these muscles and if you still have questions, reach out to our free Ask a PT service.

It is very common for the number of blue lights to decrease as you continue through a 5-minute treatment session. This is usually sign of muscle fatigue and is very normal.

The first step is to locate your pelvic floor muscle. One technique is to imagine you are trying to keep yourself from passing gas. Or, imagine tensing your muscles as if to stop peeing mid-stream. The muscles you use are your pelvic floor muscles.

Once you’ve identified the muscle, squeeze and hold: Imagine you are trying to keep a marble from falling out of your vagina. Think about lifting and pulling in. Don’t push down. Try not to activate other muscles in your abdomen, thighs or butt. Visualize a lifting motion and breathe in and out. Don’t hold your breath. Contract these muscles for three seconds. Now relax them for three seconds. You’ve just performed a Kegel exercise.

Yes, but not while using a tampon or menstrual cup.

Yes, Flyte® is safe to fly with. Flyte® has a lithium ion battery that is contained within the unit and can’t be removed from the device. As with other similar devices, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) prefers to have it in carry-on baggage, but you can also have it as part of your checked baggage, just be sure Flyte is off.

Per the FAA, “Devices containing lithium metal batteries or lithium ion batteries, including – but not limited to – smartphones, tablets, cameras and laptops, should be kept in carry-on baggage. If these devices are packed in checked baggage, they should be turned completely off, protected from accidental activation and packed so they are protected from damage.” Lithium Batteries in Baggage | Federal Aviation Administration (faa.gov).
