General information, not medical advice. Check with a doctor or pelvic health physiotherapist before starting, especially if you are pregnant, recently gave birth or had surgery, have pelvic pain, or have a pacemaker.
The short answer
If you are leaking after prostate surgery, Elitone for Men is the only device we found with FDA clearance for that: it was cleared in January 2026 to aid early continence recovery in men immediately after prostate surgery. It uses pads on the skin, so nothing is inserted, and costs $449. Ask your surgeon or urologist before starting.
If you want a cheaper trainer for general pelvic floor fitness, kGoal's Boost ($179) is a sit-on biofeedback device with an app, though kGoal says its products are not medical devices.

What the research says for men
The evidence for men is weaker than for women. A 2015 Cochrane review found no clear benefit from pelvic floor training, with or without biofeedback, for men with incontinence in the year after radical prostatectomy. A 2026 review was more positive: 13 of 20 trials reported significant improvements with structured, supervised training based on a confirmed contraction, and an early start, higher intensity and biofeedback were linked to greater benefit. A 2023 meta-analysis could not say whether devices such as biofeedback or stimulation add value to training after prostatectomy.
The Mayo Clinic suggests asking a healthcare professional or a pelvic floor physical therapist if you have trouble doing kegels; they may suggest biofeedback.
Claims about erections and sexual stamina come mostly from device makers. We have not seen strong trial evidence for them.
