A bladder and bowel control training device, being a hollow, rigid, generally oblong body of uniform construction. Dimensions of length, width, and lateral curvature may be altered for facilitating use of the device by various sized persons. The bladder control device is used to provide a shaped, contoured body structure for either a male or female, to facilitate strengthening the muscles of the pelvic floor. These muscles are effectively activated by a user enveloping the outer surfaces of the bladder control device between the upper thigh muscles of both legs and flexing the thigh muscles tightly against the device. The user of the bladder control device engages the muscular exertions of the left and right adductor longus, adductor magnus, and the gracilis muscles in unison. A crescent-shaped seat segment is constructed with a non-slip gripping surface against which a user's muscles can securely flex.
A device for eliminating episodic occurrences of urinary and bowel incontinence in both men and women, the device comprising a generally crescent-shaped, oblong, hollow body, having a uniformly smooth exterior surface, a rounded front horn, a top surface having a depressed seat, lateral curvature forming a left-side surface, a left center section, a right center section, a right-side surface, and a rear backstop segment, an upper rear surface of the backstop rising upward from the seat in a gradual elliptical shape, and culminating in a widened rear end;
A method for eliminating urinary and bowel incontinence in both men and women, by means of the use of a device external to a user's body, the method comprising the steps of:
An improvement to a device of the type having generally, a crescent-shaped, oblong, hollow body, with a uniformly smooth exterior surface, and/utilized as a physically self-actuated means to eliminate episodic occurrences of urinary and bowel incontinence by a user performing contractions of the pelvic floor muscles against the exterior surface of the device, wherein the improvement comprises:
