Laselle Kegel Exerciser
Participants use a vibrating pelvic floor muscle training ball for 12 weeks. The ball is inserted into the vagina and left for 15 minutes daily in the first week, and if well tolerated 30 minutes daily from the second week onwards. To achieve the vibrating effect, the balls are worn while moving - performing everyday tasks or going for a walk.
Pelvic floor muscle exercises
Participants get standard care after childbirth, which is the routine recommendation of pelvic floor muscle exercises. Participants will be asked to continue/start the pelvic floor muscle exercises they routinely were recommended by customary written instructions from their health professionals after birth. Intervention duration for this study is 12 weeks.
