Internal Resistance Training for Your Pelvic Floor? Pippa Explained
In this episode of the Active Mom Podcast mini-series
Inside Pelvic Floor Support: Devices, Fit & What You Should Know, we’re speaking with:
Melody Roberts, CEO & Co-founder of Liv Labs—a company developing a pelvic floor fitness device designed to support active women.
Pippa is an internal resistance-based device that works by creating load within the vaginal canal to stimulate neuromuscular activation of the pelvic floor during movement.
We Talk About:
• how Pippa works mechanically (internal resistance vs passive support)
• who it may be a good fit for (active women, runners, fitness-focused users)
• who it’s not designed for (e.g. prolapse support)
• how to use it correctly (applicator-based insertion)
• common misconceptions about strengthening and performance
• where it fits alongside pelvic floor rehab and return to activity

Important Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
Listening to this podcast does not create a provider–patient relationship, and the information shared is not a substitute for individualized care. Pelvic floor symptoms, exercise tolerance, and recovery vary widely—what works for one person may not be appropriate for another.
As you listen, it’s important to remember: these are device companies.
Which means the language you’ll hear is often marketing language—not always updated medical or clinical language.
Many of the people behind these products are not medical providers—and they are definitely not your medical provider.
That doesn’t mean the devices aren’t helpful.
But it does mean context matters.
So as you listen, consider:
• How this applies to your body
• Whether this sounds like symptom management or capacity building
• Where individualized support might still be needed
Always consult with your own healthcare provider before making changes to your care, exercise routine, or use of any device discussed in this episode.
