hi guys, i got my helix the other night and so far ive had two sessions with it but im a bit frustrated, while im enjoying it every 5 mins i have a very strong urge to urinate and have in one session had to go to the bathroom on 4 occassions to pass urine!!! its rather annoying as it cocks up my session as i become tense and less relaxed. any help on this??
The false feeling of wanting to pee is a very good sign, and an indicator that the helix is tickling the prostate.
Good chance you have Helix contact up near your bladder neck. I've had this with the Helix the MGX and intermittently with the Classic when I nudge it against my anterior rectal wall.. Pressure on the bladder neck refers sensation to the tip of my penis that translates to 'wanna pee now'
Suggestions: Make sure your bladder is empty before you start a session. While staying hydrated is important plan to drink fluids well before you prep and then 'top up' well into the session rather than right after you get started. If you douche before a session, make sure you expel all the fluid before you shower and bed down. If you are rather sure your bladder is near empty, ignore this signal. As twlltin says, it's a good sign.
I'd recommend against changing away from Helix for perhaps several months. Later on in your Journey you might consider buying a tool that emphasizes contact further down the prostate.

You're definitely on the right track, for sure. Believe me, with a bit of practice, you'll nail it. It's well worth the experimentation/effort.
