Summary

Elitone is an FDA-cleared, wearable treatment trusted by over 40,000 women to address bladder leaks at the source. Using gentle, externally-applied, neuromuscular electrical stimulation. Designed to fit into real life, it requires just 20 minutes a day with no internal devices, no clinic visits, and no complicated routines. Women prefer Elitone because it’s comfortable, discreet under clothing, and clinically proven to deliver meaningful results. 

Phase 1: The First 5 Minutes (Setup)
  • Charge It First: Most devices arrive with a partial charge, but for the first 20-minute session, ensure the controller shows a full green light.
  • The "Anatomical Landmark": * For external devices like Elitone, placement is key.
  • The Rule: Position the GelPad so the center opening (the apex) is right around the clitoris. This ensures the conductive areas are perfectly aligned above the urethra and pelvic floor muscles.
  • Snap & Stick: Snap the lead wire onto the pad before you peel the backing. Apply to clean, dry skin. (Pro-tip: If there is significant hair, a quick trim helps with conductivity, though it’s not always strictly necessary).

Phase 2: The "Tingle to Calm" (Treatment)

Start Low, Aim High: Turn the device on. You should feel a gentle tingling or pulsing sensation.

The Intensity Sweet Spot: Slowly increase the intensity to the highest level that remains comfortable. Unlike the Elitone Stress device, you do not need to feel your pelvic floor muscles contract. The goal is comfortable nerve stimulation—not muscle strengthening.

The 20-Minute Multitask: Because the device is external and discreet, it's easy to wear while enjoying your morning coffee, answering emails, folding laundry, or relaxing with a book. The treatment automatically ends after 20 minutes.

Stick With It: Use Elitone URGE for 20 minutes once daily, 5 days per week. Many women notice gradual improvement over several weeks, with the greatest benefits often appearing after 4–6 weeks of consistent use.

The Innovation: Non-Invasive Bladder Neuromodulation
Traditional treatment for overactive bladder often begins with behavioral therapy and medications. While these approaches can be highly effective, medications may cause bothersome side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, or blurred vision, and many women stop taking them over time. Elitone URGE offers a different approach by utilizing External Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) to gently stimulate the nerves involved in bladder control.
Unlike pelvic floor strengthening devices designed to build muscle, Elitone URGE delivers a specialized pattern of electrical stimulation through an external GelPad placed over the pelvic region. Rather than exercising the pelvic floor, this therapy is designed to influence the nerve pathways that help regulate bladder activity, providing a completely non-invasive, drug-free option that can be used comfortably at home while fully clothed.

Clinical Validation and FDA Clearance
As an MD-led platform, PelviZen believes it is important to distinguish between wellness gadgets and FDA-cleared medical devices. Elitone URGE has received FDA clearance based on evidence demonstrating its safety and effectiveness for treating symptoms of overactive bladder.
Clinical studies have shown meaningful improvements in urgency, urinary frequency, and urge urinary incontinence following a structured treatment program. For many women, this provides an effective non-drug alternative that avoids the cognitive and systemic side effects associated with medications while eliminating the risks and recovery associated with more invasive procedures.

Stress vs. Urge: Choosing the Right Therapy
One of the core principles of PelviZen is matching the treatment to the underlying cause of bladder leakage.
The original Elitone is designed for Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), where leakage occurs during coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise. Its primary goal is to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles to improve support around the urethra.
Elitone URGE, on the other hand, is designed for women with Overactive Bladder (OAB) and urge urinary incontinence. Rather than focusing on muscle strengthening, it uses a specialized stimulation pattern intended to help regulate the abnormal bladder signals that contribute to urinary urgency, frequency, and urge leakage.
By offering separate therapies for stress and urge incontinence, Elitone allows women to receive treatment that is better aligned with the underlying physiology of their symptoms instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

The "Quick Start" to Long-Term Bladder Control
Success with Elitone URGE depends on consistency rather than immediate results. Most treatment plans begin with 20-minute sessions, five days per week, during an initial six-week treatment phase.
During treatment, most women experience a gentle tingling or pulsing sensation. Unlike muscle-strengthening devices, you should not expect to feel strong pelvic floor contractions. Instead, the goal is comfortable nerve stimulation delivered at the highest intensity that remains comfortable.
Many women begin noticing improvements after several weeks of consistent use, with continued gains throughout the initial treatment period. After completing the first six weeks, many users transition to a personalized maintenance schedule based on their symptom control and clinician recommendations.
When combined with bladder training, healthy fluid habits, and lifestyle modifications, Elitone URGE can become an important component of a comprehensive, long-term strategy for managing overactive bladder.
