How Jane Improved Bladder Health and Confidence During Menopause with Kegel8

Meet Jane Atherton: Menopause Expert Supporting Pelvic Health with Kegel8

We’re delighted to introduce Jane Atherton—a skin therapist, clinical nutritionist, and menopause specialist with a wealth of experience helping women manage menopause’s unique challenges. Jane began her career running a successful menopause clinic in Hong Kong and is now back in the UK, where she is a respected member of the British Menopause Society. She supports over 10,000 women through her social media channels and is the creator of the innovative menopause skincare line, Phytomone.

With her expertise, we were thrilled when Jane decided to try the Kegel8 Ultra 20, and her insights are invaluable:

"Menopause often brings bladder weakness due to declining oestrogen and progesterone. Lower oestrogen levels cause the bladder and urethral tissues to thin, weakening them and often leading to urine leakage during activities like coughing, laughing, or exercising."

Jane found that the Kegel8 Ultra 20’s clinically-proven programmes offer a straightforward and effective way to strengthen the pelvic floor, which supports the bladder and prevents leakage. The Kegel8 Ultra 20 comes with 20 programmes designed to strengthen muscles, reduce bladder weakness, and address prolapse and incontinence. It includes an internal probe for targeted muscle toning or external electrode pads for those who prefer not to use the probe, especially helpful if dealing with vaginal dryness.

"After almost three months of using the Kegel8 Ultra 20, I can say it’s made a huge difference. I no longer cross my legs every time I turn on a tap, no more pads, no more gym embarrassment, and no more ‘tears’ down my legs when I laugh or sneeze! When cramps or backache start, I simply pop on the electrode pads for comforting relief."

The Kegel8 Ultra 20 has also encouraged Jane to stick with her pelvic floor exercises, thanks to its ease of use. With pre-set programmes, she can clip it onto her waistband and get on with her day.

"Just need a Kegel8 solution for hot flushes now!"
