Initially the sensation through the probe 
may be limited but  will improve during 
treatment.  Take  care  not  to  use  too 
much  strength  and  thereby  over 
stimulate  the  muscles  until  normal 
sensation  is  restored.  The  sensation 
may  not  be  even  as  it  may  vary 
depending  on  the  sensitivity  of  the 
nerves in the treatment area. 

The  display  shows  the  strength  of 
intensity  used.  The  aim  is  to  increase 
this  over  a  number  of  days.  But 
remember  there  is  no  hurry,  so  only 
increase the strength of the stimulation 
as and when you are comfortable and 
ready to progress. 

 

Note:

 If the sensation becomes 

uncomfortable,  reduce  the 
intensity  with  the 

Ch1▼

  or 

Ch2▼ 

button. 

 

Note:

 If the Liberty probe does 

not make good contact with the 
walls of the vagina, you can try 

the  Liberty  Plus  probe  (

X-VPM

).  This 

probe is 32mm diameter compared with 
the 28mm of the liberty probe. 

 

The  duration  of  most  treatment 
sessions  is  automatically  set  to  20 
minutes.  The  duration  of  muscle 
building sessions will depend greatly on 
your ability to contract and your fatigue 
resistance.  Be  careful  not  to  overdrive 
the  muscles,  this  could  cause  painful 
aches the next day. 

 

Note:

 

 

If  you  have  aching  or 

cramping 

muscles, 

stop 

treatment until the symptoms go away, 
then resume at a lower intensity

 

Optional  skin  surface  electrode 
placement for URGE 

An  alternative  method  to  a  vaginal 
probe is to stimulate areas of  the skin 
that are close

 

to nerves that go to  the 

bladder and urethra. These come from 
the  parts  of  the  spinal  cord  segment 
called S2-S3. 

The electrodes are placed on the skin 
between the anus and the genitals, or 
at  the  very  bottom  of  the  spine  near 
your  coccyx  or  “tail”.  See  electrode 
placement pictures.  

The  stimulation  should  be  strong 
enough  to  make  your  anus  contract 
slightly. 

It  is  also  possible  to  place  the 
electrodes on the ankle using the 

TIBN 

1

  or 

TIBN  2

 programmes  (see  section 

10.3.). 

 

13.6. AFTER YOUR TRAINING 

SESSION 

When  the  timer  reaches  zero,  your 
session  is  complete  and  the unit  turns 
off. 

1) 

Check that the control unit is OFF. 
If it is not, hold down the 

ON/OFF

 

button to switch off then remove the 
probe from your vagina by holding 
the positioning  end  rim  and  gently 
pulling outwards.  

2) 

Wash and thoroughly dry the probe 
and return it to the storage pouch.
