The shape is specially designed to naturally adapt to the shape of the vagina, ensuring easy insertion and easy removal. Entirely made following the highest quality standard, all components are made of Santoprene, a latest generation, medical grade, totally hypoallergenic elastomer.
Each cone is devoid of cracks and interstices, where germs and bacteria could lurk, thus ensuring the conditions of maximum hygiene unchanged over time.Regular exercises with the cones can improve, eliminate or prevent all pathologies related to a weakening of the perineal muscles.
For use, carefully read the instructions inside.

The use of vaginal cones is useful:
- after childbirth (in the puerperium), to favor the complete rehabilitation of the pelvic floor and to prevent any weakness. Such exercises are also recommended for women who have given birth by caesarean section. In fact it is not the type of birth that affects the functionality of the perineal plane but the pregnancy itself;
- for the prevention, reduction and elimination of urinary / fecal stress incontinence (from stress) in the post-partum period, during climacteric and lamenopause, following surgery or other pathologies;
- in case of perineal pain;
- in case of constipation;
- in the presence of painful sexual intercourse or on the contrary in cases of reduced sensitivity;
- for the prevention and / or correction of vaginal, uterine or rectal prolapses of slight or moderate entity;
- having a good tone of the pelvic muscles helps in the event of gestation to a good progress of the pregnancy itself and in the phase of childbirth to greatly reduce the possibility of lacerations and episiotomies.

How to use
By introducing a cone into the vagina, the cone itself tends to come out.
This leakage is prevented by the repeated and re-contraction of the perineal muscles (biofeedback phenomenon). These contractions train and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles in the same way as they do in the gym during weight training to increase muscle strength.
For this reason it is possible that pelvic pains appear during the initial phase, pains destined to disappear as training proceeds.
Already after a few weeks of exercises with the vaginal cones you will have learned to feel and have greater control of this important and complex muscle structure, drawing considerable benefits from it in everyday life.
The cones undergo a sterilization treatment before being placed in the special packaging, however we recommend cleaning the cones before using them. (see section “how to clean Alena cones).
Check first how strong your pelvic muscles are.
For this purpose, after carefully cleaning the hands and the white cone (lighter), gently introduce the latter into the vagina, for about the length of your finger, comparing it to the introduction of a tampon (see illustration on the side), leaving out a few centimeters of cord useful in the extraction phase.
This insertion can be facilitated by using vaginal cream / gel (do not use creams that are not expressly indicated for vaginal use). For a synergic result we recommend using the "Rimeda" vaginal cream.

At this point, if you can keep it in place for about a minute initially standing still and then trying to walk, go up and down the stairs, simulating some cough, hint a few small leaps in place, immerse your hands in cold water, it means ca that you can move on to the next weight cone. The cone that, after one or more of these exercises, cannot be held, will be the cone that will be used for the beginning of the training. The training consists in keeping the chosen cone in the vagina 10/15 minutes for one or two times a day, carrying out normal daily activities (shower, house cleaning, laundry, cooking, gardening, walking, etc.) as long as they are carried out in an upright position. It is absolutely normal that at the beginning you are able to keep the lightest cone only for a short period of time, the important thing is not to get discouraged and try to gradually increase the minutes of holding the cone up to the optimal timing of 10/15 minutes.
After a few days that you are able to constantly hold the cone it is recommended to move on to the next weight cone.

They can be used for an unlimited time, without running into any contraindications. Normally it has been seen that the attenuation or complete disappearance of the disturbances occurs after about 12/15 weeks of correct and constant use. In case of more serious muscle weakness, it will be necessary to use the cones for a longer period.

After at least 3 weeks from the complete disappearance of the symptoms, the treatment can be interrupted, but it is strongly recommended once every two / three months, to carry out a training cycle with the cones for 2/3 weeks, in order to always keep the pelvic floor in perfect shape.

Discontinuation of therapy
- if after 20 weeks of daily and correct use of vaginal cones you have not found any improvement in symptoms, we recommend that you consult your doctor in order to establish the variations of the therapy;

- we do not recommend the use of vaginal cones during pregnancy (although in other European countries it is indicated for use after medical advice;

- in the puerperium, it is strongly recommended to resume or start using the product, provided that at least 6/8 weeks have passed since the birth and in any case after consulting the doctor treating you;

- during the menstrual cycle;

- in the presence of suspected or ascertained vaginal admissions;

- your vaginal cones are produced with cutting-edge methods and materials of the highest quality, nevertheless improper use or inadequate storage could ruin the surface with scratches and tears, in this case the damaged cone must not be used.

Preventive use is recommended for all women. But if they are used for therapeutic purposes as a result of one or more of the ailments described, it is recommended, before starting the exercises, to consult your doctor who must rule out di erent causes, not attributable to a debilitation of the pelvic floor.

How to clean Alena cones
It is advisable to clean the vaginal cones after each application, without the aid of brushes or abrasive sponges, which could scratch the external surface. They can be disinfected with the normal antiseptic products found on the market or with warm water and antibacterial soap. Once rinsed with water, dry gently with a soft, clean cloth (being careful not to over-pull the cord as it could break) and put it back in the package.

Do not sterilize them in hot water or with steam as these methods could cause deformation of the cones themselves.
