Leva is an FDA-cleared treatment that has been studied in clinical trials and real-world patient populations. In a randomized clinical trial, women using Leva experienced approximately an 80% reduction in bladder leakage episodes by 8 weeks, with many reporting symptom improvement as early as 4 weeks. Follow-up data showed symptom improvement was sustained for up to 2 years after treatment. Individual results may vary.

Many women notice improvement in as little as 4 weeks, although individual results vary. Consistent use throughout the 12-week program is important for achieving the best outcomes.

Many women are unsure whether they are performing pelvic floor exercises correctly. Leva provides real-time visual feedback through its LIFT™ technology, allowing you to see how your pelvic floor muscles are engaging during each exercise. It’s like exercising in front of a mirror, helping you build confidence that you’re doing the exercises correctly. Clinical studies have shown greater symptom improvement with Leva-guided pelvic floor muscle training compared with an unsupervised home exercise program alone.

Leva combines the convenience of at-home pelvic floor muscle training with the support and accountability associated with supervised care. Through its LIFT™ technology, Leva provides real-time visual feedback so you can see your pelvic floor muscles working during each exercise. In addition, the Leva Women’s Center provides personalized support from Educators and Coaches who help answer questions, guide you through therapy, and encourage consistency throughout treatment.

Leva is also supported by a robust body of clinical evidence, including randomized clinical trials and real-world studies, and keeps your healthcare provider informed through progress reporting throughout your therapy journey.

Clinical follow-up studies have shown that many women maintained symptom improvement for up to 2 years after completing treatment, even without continued device use. Individual results may vary, and maintaining pelvic floor muscle strength over time is important for long-term bladder health.

Yes. In addition to clinical trials, Leva has been evaluated in real-world patient populations. A peer-reviewed study of 947 women using Leva in routine clinical practice found that nearly 3 in 4 users achieved clinically meaningful improvement in urinary incontinence symptoms, with benefits observed across stress, mixed, and urgency urinary incontinence.

Additionally, a real-world study of women experiencing fecal incontinence symptoms found significant symptom improvement after using Leva. These findings demonstrate that Leva can deliver meaningful results in everyday clinical use, not just in research settings.

With more than 17 peer-reviewed studies and counting, Leva has one of the most extensive clinical evidence bases in pelvic health. Visit our Clinical Evidence page to explore the research.

Peer-reviewed research has been reviewed by independent experts before publication to help ensure the study was conducted using sound scientific methods and that the conclusions are supported by the data.

You can absolutely continue performing the exercises after completing therapy if you’d like. Research found that urinary symptom improvement persisted for up to two years, even without continued device use.

Continuing the healthy bladder habits you’ve developed during therapy, along with staying physically active through walking, running, strength training, or other forms of exercise, can help support long-term pelvic floor health.

Leva is designed to fit into your daily routine, requiring just 2.5 minutes twice a day for 12 weeks.

Pelvic floor muscle training is recommended as a first-line treatment for urinary and fecal incontinence, but many women aren’t sure if they’re performing the exercises correctly or struggle to stay consistent over time. Guided pelvic floor muscle training provides feedback, support, and accountability to help you engage the right muscles and stick with the program.

Leva combines real-time visual feedback through its LIFT™ technology, personalized coaching, progress tracking, and communication with your healthcare provider. Together, these features are designed to help you get more out of your pelvic floor muscle training than exercising on your own.

If any of the following apply to you, it is recommended you discuss with your healthcare provider, as they may indicate that Leva is not right for you:

  • If you are unwilling to perform daily exercises for at least eight weeks to address your leakage symptoms.
  • If you are pregnant, or if you think you may be pregnant, unless authorized by your healthcare provider.
  • If you are less than 6-weeks postpartum, unless authorized by your healthcare provider.
  • If you are unable to stand on your own for at least five minutes a day.
  • If you do not own a smartphone or have access to one during the time you use Leva.
  • If your main pelvic health problem is pelvic pain.
  • If you have pain with inserting anything into the vagina or are unable to insert anything into the vagina for other reasons.
  • If you have a vaginal bulge that comes to or out of the vaginal opening.

Yes. Leva is supported by a robust body of clinical research, including randomized controlled trials, long-term follow-up studies, and peer-reviewed real-world evidence involving more than 1,200 women. These studies support the safety and effectiveness of Leva for women with pelvic floor disorders.

In most cases, Leva can be used alongside a pessary, IUD, and/or vaginal hormone cream. If you’re unsure whether Leva is right for your specific situation, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting therapy.

Start therapy when you feel confident you can commit to regular training for at least the first 4 weeks. Missing an occasional session is okay, but consistent practice is important for symptom improvement.

While the full program lasts 12 weeks, the first month is especially important for building a strong foundation and establishing healthy habits that support long-term success.

Missing an occasional session is okay. The key to success is consistency over time, not perfection. If you’ve missed several sessions or are having trouble staying on track, your Coach can help you create a plan to get back into a routine and continue making progress.

Yes! Leva is travel-friendly and can be packed in either your carry-on or checked luggage.

You do not need Wi-Fi to complete your training sessions. However, your training data and progress updates will sync with your Coach once your device reconnects to Wi-Fi.

Yes, it is safe to use Leva during your menstrual cycle.

If you prefer not to use the device during this time, you can continue practicing your pelvic floor lifts without Leva to stay consistent with your training and resume device use when you’re comfortable.

You don’t need to charge Leva. The device is designed with a long-lasting battery. For best performance and battery life, store the wand in its case when not in use.

Yes. Urinary incontinence is the medical term for the involuntary loss of urine, often referred to as urinary leakage or bladder leakage.

There are three main types of urinary incontinence:

  • Stress urinary incontinence (SUI): Leakage that occurs during activities that put pressure on the bladder, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting.
  • Urgency urinary incontinence (UUI): Leakage accompanied by a sudden, difficult-to-control urge to urinate.
  • Mixed urinary incontinence (MUI): A combination of stress and urgency urinary incontinence symptoms.

Understanding the type of urinary incontinence you have can help determine the most appropriate treatment options. Take our self-assessment to learn more about your symptoms and the treatment options that may be right for you.

Fecal incontinence, often referred to as accidental bowel leakage, is the inability to control bowel movements, resulting in the involuntary leakage of stool. Symptoms can range from occasional leakage while passing gas to a sudden urge to have a bowel movement that is difficult to control.

Fecal incontinence is more common than many people realize and can affect quality of life, emotional well-being, and daily activities. It may be caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles, childbirth-related injury, nerve damage, aging, chronic diarrhea, or other medical conditions.

If you are experiencing accidental bowel leakage, talk with your healthcare provider. Effective treatment options are available, and many women experience symptom improvement with conservative therapies such as pelvic floor muscle training.

Think you may be experiencing fecal incontinence? Take our self-assessment to learn more about your symptoms and treatment options.

Yes. Leva is indicated as a first-line therapy for chronic fecal incontinence, also known as accidental bowel leakage. In real-world evidence, more than half of women using Leva for accidental bowel leakage achieved a clinically meaningful reduction in symptoms, with many experiencing improvement in as little as 8 weeks. Leva helps strengthen and retrain the pelvic floor muscles that support bowel control.

Leva is prescribed for 2.5 minutes twice daily over a 12-week treatment period. This regimen was utilized in Leva’s clinical studies and is designed to provide guided pelvic floor muscle training with real-time feedback to support proper technique and patient adherence.

Leva is a first-line, conservative treatment option for women with stress, mixed, and mild-to-moderate urgency urinary incontinence (including overactive bladder), as well as chronic fecal incontinence. It can be prescribed across a broad range of adult patients and may be particularly beneficial for women who would benefit from guided pelvic floor muscle training, real-time feedback, and ongoing support to encourage adherence.
