<\/a><\/p>\nWhat are Kegels?<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe term \u2018Kegels\u2019 is what most people use to refer to their pelvic floor, which are a hammock-like group of muscles that keep your bladder and lower intestines where they are. They are so called because a Dr. Kegel<\/a> was the first to create exercises for strengthening the pelvic floor. The best way to locate your pelvic floor muscles is to squeeze the muscles that help you stop the flow of urine.<\/p>\nWhy are Kegels Important?<\/strong><\/h3>\nMany people associate developing a strong pelvic floor for helping with incontinence, or recovering from childbirth<\/a>, however there is one benefit that has a much broader appeal: stronger orgasms.<\/p>\nWell, for women anyway. While it\u2019s also important for men to do Kegel exercises<\/a>, today we\u2019re going to focus on how women can train up their pelvic floor.<\/p>\nHow Do I Start Doing Kegels?<\/strong><\/h3>\nExercising your pelvic floor is touted as an easy exercise that you can do anywhere, anytime, without any equipment at all. While that is true, it\u2019s actually much easier to start training them in a few specific settings.<\/p>\n
For Beginners<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhile stopping-the-flow is an excellent way to find your Kegel muscles, it\u2019s actually not recommended as an exercise as it can cause issues for your bladder.<\/p>\n
Rather, something like the LELO Smart Bead<\/a> is a great place for beginners to start. While it looks like a typical insertable vibrator, it is actually your personal pleasure trainer! It has a pressure-sensitive plate within it that can sense if you\u2019re squeezing around it, so you simply turn it on, insert, and wait for the vibrations to begin.<\/p>\nIt should start you at a middle level and assess the speed and strength with which you clench around it (prompted by vibrations) and will adjust your difficulty setting accordingly for the next time you use it. It\u2019s as easy as that! Just squeeze when it vibrates, then relax (fully) when it stops.<\/p>\n
Oh, and after you\u2019re done your work out? It\u2019ll turn onto a constant vibration setting as a special post-exercise treat!<\/p>\n
Intermediates<\/strong><\/h3>\nOnce you\u2019ve powered your way through the different training levels, it\u2019s time to go low tech.<\/p>\n
LELO Beads<\/a> are Ben Wa balls that contain an inner weight, which moves with the movement of your body, causing you to clench your muscles in response. In a way, you can also tailor your own training goals as they come with two 28 gram beads and two 37 gram beads, which can be used by themselves or in different combinations as you become stronger.<\/p>\nTo use them, lie down or recline so you\u2019re comfortable, and insert a bead about 2cm \/ 1in inside your vagina (using personal moisturizer if necessary<\/a>). Then, imagine your vagina as an elevator, pulling the bead up and in \u2015 never down\u2015as if you were pulling it all the way to your belly button. Pause at the top and relax downward. You should be able to see the retrieval string move somewhat!<\/p>\nYou can add more weight as you find it easier to do this exercise (as well as exercises that use short clenches and relaxations) just remember that you\u2019ll get an optimal workout from inserting just one bead and letting the second bead stay outside of your body.<\/p>\n
