If your selected programme supports 2 back electrodes, you should attach them as shown in position 1.

If your selected programme supports 2 perinial electrodes, you should attach them as shown in position 2.

P06 also supports the use of 2 ankle electrodes, you should attach them as shown in position 3.

Using Your Electrode Pads

To use a Kegel Electrode Pad:

1. Clean and dry the area where you will attach the skin electrode thoroughly. Remove any oils or lotions as these could damage your electrode pads. It is also a good idea to remove any hair from the area, as the mild adhesive may pull your hairs when you remove it - ouch!
2. Peel the protective sheet from the electrode pad to reveal its sticky surface.
3. Put the electrode pad into position. The pads should be a minimum of one pad length apart. The sticky surface should be placed directly onto your skin in the position shown in the above diagrams.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 for each electrode pad as required.
5. Attach the wires from the electrode pads into the lead wires of your Kegel8 Electronic Pelvic Toner.
6. Connect the lead wires to your Kegel8 Electronic Toner.

You are now ready to start a Kegel8 exercise programme.

Caring For Your Electrode Pads

Your Kegel8 electrode pads are reusable and, with proper care, can last for approximately 10–15 pelvic floor exercise sessions.

How to care for your electrode pads:

• After each use, place the adhesive (sticky) side back onto the original plastic backing sheet to maintain performance and hygiene.
• If the pads lose their stickiness or conductivity, it’s time to replace them to ensure effective EMS pelvic floor stimulation—you can purchase replacement electrode pads here.
• Store your pads in a clean, dry place, ideally in their original packaging inside your Kegel8 Bag, to prolong their lifespan and maintain optimal results.

When to Replace Your Electrode Pads

Electrode pads need to be replaced regularly to maintain their effectiveness at exercising your pelvic floor. They may need replacing after 10-15 sessions - but you can choose to replace them when they begin to lose their adhesiveness.

As a basic guideline, your electrode pads should last 4-6 weeks if they are used once a day and applied onto clean skin. Some people like to keep their pads in the fridge to make them last longer!
