Kegel apps compared: 7 apps scored on the same 6 criteria

There are hundreds of kegel apps. Most are timers with a subscription screen. A few are built with pelvic health physiotherapists and follow the same rules a clinic would use. This page scores seven popular apps with one method, with an eye on what men need: less dribbling after peeing, recovery after prostate surgery, more control in bed. It includes Dr. Kegel for Men, which we make. We explain every score so you can disagree with us.

What men need from a kegel app

Before any ranking, check that an app does these four things:

1. Finds the right muscle. For men, it’s the squeeze that stops gas or lifts the base of the penis slightly — not your glutes or belly.
2. Progresses. Long holds for endurance, quick flicks for control, and a plan that builds over weeks.
3. Teaches the release. Every squeeze should end with a full let-go. Men with pelvic pain or a tight pelvic floor may need reverse kegels first.
4. Is discreet. Reminders and icons that don’t announce what you’re doing.

The apps for men, reviewed

1. Squeezy Men — best with a physio (83/100)

Designed by chartered NHS physiotherapists who specialise in men’s health. It follows guideline-based plans, sends reminders and tracks your sessions. It’s aimed at men seeing a specialist physio for bladder, bowel or pelvic floor problems, who can customise the plan.

• Pros: real clinical design; one-off price; well suited to men in physio care after prostate surgery.
• Cons: less guidance on control and sexual function goals; best used alongside a clinician.

2. Kegel Trainer — best free option (72/100)

Works for men and women. The free tier covers basic sessions and reminders; Pro unlocks more. Visual, audio or vibration cues, and a discreet icon and name.

• Scores: program 16, technique 14, clinical 10, price 13, privacy 9, access 10.

3. Dr. Kegel for Men — best structured daily plan (71/100) (our app)

Dr. Kegel for Men is our iOS app, built for men. It gives a step-by-step training plan, timing cues, reminders that never say “kegel”, short education pieces and no ads. The first session is free; the full plan is a subscription (US in-app purchases listed from $4.99 to $59.99).

• Pros: men-specific goals (control and confidence); clear weekly progression; discreet.
• Cons: subscription after the first session; no relax-first track in the app yet — men with pain should use our reverse kegel guide first; no clinician named on the listing.
• Scores: program 20, technique 13, clinical 10, price 9, privacy 9, access 10.

4. PrimeFlow Core — best for privacy-minded men (65/100)

7. The Coach For Him — best all-in-one lifestyle app (48/100)

Kegels are one feature among workouts, nutrition, fasting and meditation.

• Scores: program 12, technique 10, clinical 6, price 7, privacy 7, access 6.

Kegel app games, timers and bladder diaries

Not every “kegel app” is a training program:

• Timer apps pace your squeezes and rests. Good for learning; they rarely progress you. Our free kegel timer does this in your browser.
• Game apps turn squeezes into rhythm or tap games (Kegel Morse Hero is one). Fun for quick squeezes, but without a sensor the app can’t tell whether you squeezed at all.
• Program apps (Squeezy Men, Dr. Kegel for Men, PrimeFlow Core) plan holds, reps and quick squeezes over weeks.
• Bladder diary apps log drinks, trips to the toilet and leaks. Useful after prostate surgery or with urgency — our bladder diary stays on your device and prints for your doctor.

Who each app is for

• You’re seeing a physio after prostate surgery: Squeezy Men — your physio can set the plan.
• You want to start today for free: Kegel Trainer, or see our free kegel apps for men.
• You want a structured daily plan for control and confidence: Dr. Kegel for Men or PrimeFlow Core.
• You want breathing and habit work alongside kegels: Kegel Men.
• You have pelvic pain, pain after ejaculation, or kegels made things worse: no app first — take the Tight or weak? check and start with reverse kegels.

How to get the most from any app

• Pick one time of day — after brushing your teeth, on your commute, at your desk.
• Test the squeeze in the first week: stand in front of a mirror; the base of the penis should lift slightly while your glutes stay soft.
• Log what you’re working on — dribbling after peeing, leaking after surgery or control — and check in every few weeks.
• Don’t overdo it. More isn’t better. Soreness, pain or a slower stream means ease off and relax more.

Devices for men: kGoal Boost and Kegel8

There are far fewer devices for men than for women.

• kGoal Boost is a sit-on cushion that measures pelvic floor squeezes through your clothes and sends biofeedback to an app. Check current price on kGoal’s site.
• Kegel8 sells electrical stimulation (e-stim) units, including versions for men; the Ultra 20 V2 was listed at $240 on its US site in September 2026. E-stim makes the muscle contract for you — useful for some, but it doesn’t replace learning a voluntary squeeze. Talk to a clinician first, especially if you have a pacemaker or pelvic pain.

Hands-on testing: coming soon. We haven’t tested these devices yet.

Try a free program before you buy a device

Most men can learn kegels with clear instructions and a timer. Start with a free or low-cost app, or our kegel timer, for a few weeks. If you still can’t feel the right muscle, or symptoms don’t improve over a few months, see a pelvic floor physical therapist before spending money on hardware.

Frequently asked questions

Do kegel apps really work?

An app is a coach and a timer — the training does the work. Kegels can help men with dribbling after peeing, leaking after prostate surgery and control. Studies showing the biggest changes mostly used supervised programs, often with biofeedback. Give a program from a few weeks to a few months before judging it.

Which kegel app is best after prostate surgery?

Squeezy Men was designed by NHS physiotherapists who specialise in men's health, and your physio can tailor the plan. Ask your surgical team when to start and whether to begin before surgery. Any app should let you start gently and progress slowly.

Can kegels make things worse for men?

Yes, if your pelvic floor is already tight. Men with pelvic pain, pain after ejaculation or a slow stream may need to relax the muscles first. If kegels increase your symptoms, stop and try reverse kegels, and see a doctor or pelvic floor physical therapist.

Is there a free kegel app for men?

Kegel Trainer has a free tier for men and women, and Kegel Morse Hero is free on iPhone. Dr. Kegel for Men offers a free first session before its subscription. You can also start with our free online kegel timer.

Do men need a kegel device like kGoal?

Most men don't. A sit-on biofeedback trainer like kGoal Boost can help if you can't tell whether you're squeezing the right muscles. Try a free app program first, and get checked by a clinician if you have pain or urinary symptoms.
