Not only do strong pelvic muscles help prevent incontinence, they also make sex better for you and your partner.
As we age or after we have children the muscles become weak causing the bladder to leak and the vagina to become slack and loose.
By holding weights in your vagina you can exercise the area – just like you would any other part of your body.
Pelvic floor exercises are recommended by the NHS, which said: “The pelvic floor muscles are located between your legs (…) They hold your pelvic organs (uterus, vagina, bowel and bladder) in place.
“You can feel your pelvic floor muscles if you try to stop the flow of urine when you go to the toilet.”
It is suggested that you should squeeze these muscles 10 to 15 times in a row to exercise them.
“After a few months, you should start to notice the results. Your incontinence should improve, as well as the sensitivity you experience during sex,” it said.
Now women are using a tampon-like product, in which you can put a different variety of weights, to help keep their vagina’s looking and feeling young.
The cone is a small device you can open and put weights in, before placing it in in your vagina where it sits comfortably, while exercising the muscles.
“Pelvic floor muscles will naturally contract around the cone and these are the reflexes that strengthen and tone the pelvic floor muscles,” according to Neen, UK expert in women’s pelvic health.
The muscles automatically contract around the device, which you can use for 20 minutes a day, daily.
“Strong pelvic muscles are crucial to a woman’s quality of life, yet one in three women will suffer from some form of incontinence during their lifetime,” according to Neen, UK expert in women’s pelvic health – who create the device, named Aquaflex
A “vaginal kung-fu” expert Kim Anami can lift coconuts, household objects and even a surfboard with her vagina.
Kim believes the activity can not only empower women, but also cure depression and even substitute botox.
She also claims it will give women ‘the best sex of their lives’.
If that’s not something you’re keen to try any time soon then you might consider the FemiWand vaginal tightening treatment.
