A Letter From Our Founder
I built Ovia because I quit my own pelvic floor program in three weeks.
After my second daughter was born, I had every advantage. The right device. A postpartum physical therapist who told me exactly what to do. An app on my phone that buzzed at 8 a.m. every morning. And by week three, the device was in a drawer next to every other expensive purchase I'd given up on. I felt like a failure. I was a 36-year-old woman with two healthy kids and access to the best care money could buy, and I couldn't get myself to do a ten-minute routine.
What I learned over the next two years — talking to physiotherapists, gynecologists, and hundreds of women in their forties and fifties — was that I wasn't the problem. The protocols work. The devices work. The science of pelvic floor strengthening has been settled for decades. What nobody talks about is the only variable that actually decides outcomes: whether you'll finish what you started. Traditional Kegel programs have a 10–15% adherence rate. The dirty secret of the entire category is that almost no one finishes them.
Compliance isn't a personality flaw. It's an engineering problem. And I refused to release another product that asked women to fix themselves before they could feel better.
Ovia is built around that variable, and that variable alone. Every design decision — the silence under 40 decibels, the four targeted modes, the integration of pleasure into training itself — exists for one reason: so the woman who buys this actually opens the box on day six. Day twenty. Day sixty. If you've been disappointed before, I understand exactly what that feels like. This is the product I needed and couldn't find. I built it for both of us.
