She wants to "demystify" this topic so that every woman can find her adapted solution. An EMY community is being born on social networks in which the feminine hassles are put into images and discussed with humor, while talking about innovations that can simplify their daily lives.In summary, EMY by Fizimed is the connected and fun medical probe that allows women wishing to regain control of their perineum to do their home exercises.
