AI pick (line): Poise Impressa Bladder Supports
It is a disposable intravaginal support that lifts the urethra to stop stress leaks from coughing, sneezing or exercise without a prescription.

AI picks by need
For pelvic floor strengthening with feedback
Elvie Trainer (line)
An app-connected Kegel trainer that shows whether you are contracting the right muscles, which is where most unguided Kegels go wrong.
Not for: Anyone who needs immediate leak control during activity rather than a months-long training program.
For game-style Kegel training
Perifit (brand)
It turns pelvic floor exercises into app games, which helps people who struggle to keep up a routine.
Not for: People who want a discreet device with no app involvement.
What the AI looks for in Bladder Control Devices
- Incontinence type
- Inserts and supports address stress incontinence only; urge incontinence needs a different approach Buying a device for the wrong leak type is the main reason these products fail.
- Sizing
- Start with the manufacturer's sizing or trial kit before buying bulk An insert that is too small slips and doesn't support the urethra. One that is too large is uncomfortable and can make voiding hard.
- Wear time
- Follow the labelled maximum wear time per insert, typically up to a daily limit Overwear raises the risk of irritation and infection.
- Trainer feedback
- Choose a trainer with real-time biofeedback of contraction, not just a weighted cone Feedback confirms you are working the correct muscles, which is what makes pelvic floor training effective.
Brands that matter
- Poise: Impressa is the main over-the-counter intravaginal bladder support.
- Elvie: App-connected pelvic floor trainer.
- Perifit: Gamified Kegel trainer.
What to avoid
- Using a vaginal support for urge or overflow incontinence
- Skipping the sizing kit
- Unlabelled devices with no stated wear-time guidance
Questions
Will a Kegel trainer cure leaks?
It often reduces stress leaks with consistent use over months, but it is training, not instant protection. A clinician or pelvic floor physiotherapist should assess persistent leakage.
