Kegel weights are what women should be using

Kegel vaginal weights are considered medical devices. As such, they should be manufactured with the same care used when other medical devices are manufactured.

Be sure the company you buy from offers a lifetime warranty for manufacture defects. The unit is designed to be used inside the vagina and should be examined each time before its use. You don’t need complications from within the vagina from any defect.

Devices such as these in particular when inserted in the vagina, will isolate the pelvic muscle and help you contract your pubococcygeus muscles and then strengthen the muscle as you do your basic kegel exercises. Theses muscles around your vagina extend from the urinary system to the rectum. Correctly doing the exercises using the weights, the motion of the weight will head towards the cervix while the muscle contracts using an up and down reaction in the vagina.

When your grouped hammock-shaped pelvic muscles sag pushing against the urethra, this places pressure on the rectum and vagina.

A prolapse is caused by this in some cases, This is when your vagina protrudes outside of your body. Kegel weights can help stop this after months of training correctly, hopefully not requiring surgery.

The late stages of pregnancy cause the pelvic floor to stretch downwards, which can result in urine leakage during the last few months. When a woman is overweight or obese before pregnancy, a great deal of stress has already been placed on the pelvic floor and the pregnancy results in even more stress.

Remember, all of your muscles will have some form of stretching taking place during your pregnancy. This is why its a great idea to do your kegel exercises during and after childbirth using kegel weights. You recovery response will be much greater.

Do a Kegel and Keep Your Marbles

It’s a wonderful photo. I snapped it when I was on a walk with a dear friend who had just turned fifty and we were up to our annual birthday banter. For decades now, we have taken turns light heartedly roasting each other on our respective special days. On this particular day, one wisecrack led to another and before we knew it, the birthday girl was clinging to a mailbox trying to stay upright and laughing so hard she was forced to cross her legs. In an effort to not wet her pants, she managed to twist her legs so many times over that she looked like a Dunkin’ Donuts cruller.

Most of us girls know what this tenuous moment is all about, but do as many of us know about the face-saving Kegel? Kegel exercises are so named after the gynecologist Dr. Arnold Kegel who introduced their routine as a formal regimine to his patients in order to strengthen pelvic muscles and vaginal walls. Kegel exercises are the timed and deliberate contracting of the pelvic floor that help patients control urinary incontinence and stave off adult diapers.

Men also can benefit from increased bladder control by practicing Kegel exercises regularly even though it is women are more likely to have heard of them. Earlier in life, women are most likely to use Kegel exercises in preparation for childbirth and during its recovery period. With the loss of muscle tone that can come later with aging, Kegels serve to preserve urinary continence.

How do you do a Kegel? One of the best descriptions found during my research provides a mental picture that works well because of its humorously graphic quality. It is from an NIH publication (http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/Kudiseases/pubs/bcw ez/insertC.htm): “The first step is to find the right muscles. One way to find them is to imagine that you are sitting on a marble and want to pick up the marble with your vagina. Imagine sucking the marble into your vagina.” Now that description is not likely to be quickly forgotten.

Men reading the above may not find that particular guidance very helpful for themselves but the actual contraction routine is the same for either gender: Contract and hold for 3 seconds. Release for 3 seconds and then repeat contraction and hold. Breathe normally throughout and consciously avoid tensing stomach, thigh or buttock muscles. Muscle isolation is of key importance. The routine need only be about five minutes long or a series of 30 repetitions.

Ideally, these exercises should be repeated throughout the day in the three basic positions of lying down, sitting and standing. However for starters, most people find them easier to do while lying down. This makes the time just before rising in the morning and drifting off at night ideal times to do Kegel exercises. A noticeable strengthening should seen in 6 to 12 weeks.
