Kegel exercises

Does anyone here do pelvic floor strengthening exercises? Watched a health series recently called Proven and they talked about kegel exercises. Good for holding enemas perhaps? And they also mentioned to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly - squeezing the right muscles - they linked a sensor to a screen which displayed what the muscles were doing - the sensor was inserted into the pussy …. or, if didn't have one of these into the ass. Sounds interesting - the Proven series (Nick Polozzi) is well worth checking out.

I have done kegel exercises since I was about 12. It feels very good to me and my husband says I feel very tight so I am sure it is worth doing them.

I was just examined in Cleveland by the Gynocologist and she checked my kegel muscles and I was tight and heck I’m 70 years young lol 😂. Yippi.

oh but I have another physical problem that causes me to have the problem that holding enemas is a problem or diarrhea.

I do pelvic floor exercises based on the recommendation of my pelvic floor physical therapist. She instructed me on the correct way to do them in her office, while using her finger for feedback. It has been very helpful for my IBS, as well as stronger erections. Win, win!

I heard the suggestion one time that you could do kegel squeezes when ever you are waiting at a stop sign or at a traffic light. For some people this could be a great routine.

I don't personally work on them but I'm told I'm tight by girls that have fingered me. One of the tests at my annual medical involves checking them after I've pulled my knickers down. She looks at my vulva first then sticks 2 fingers up my vagina and wiggles them for a general feel then asks me to squeeze them. I can feel for a while afterwards that I've had something up my vagina and it looks open.

I actually found a device that measures the strength of kegels. It's called a PFX and there are two options, one with a rectal probe, the other with a vaginal probe. You can set your desired resistance level and it measures how strong the muscle contraction is. It's not for sale in the US but can be bought abroad.

Anyone ever use one of the electric machines for this? TensCare Kegal is on Amazon. I wonder if this would work for a prostate massager.

My wife has done Kagals for years. She has a device that is suppose to help. It is a small stainless egg like deal with a wire. She puts the egg in her vagina and puts different weights on the wire. She could hold all of the weights the first time she tried it so we started hooking heavier weights to it. She usually just does the Kagals without the device, but it is fun to play with.

I had a device called a PC meter. I used it for years. It has a hole in the balloon part now. 😢 It is a long thermometer-looking device that bends at the bottom and has an elongated balloon/bulb you insert into the vagina. Inside the balloon/bulb and tube is water with red food coloring. It has a green plastic background that the thermometer/tube is clipped on to. It has numbers. As you squeeze the red liquid goes up. There is just enough red liquid in it that if you don't squeeze you will not see it. The object is to keep the red liquid up as high as you can for as long as you can and time it. Another way is just to squeeze the bulb over and over and watch the numbers. At the OB/GYN clinic, I worked for they had pamphlets on them and you didn't have to be a doctor to buy them. They also had expensive kits. You insert what looks like the same balloon/bulb into your vagina and it has a wire with a USB connector. It came with a disk. You load the disk and program onto your computer. Once it was loaded you didn't need the disk after that. But it had games. Yes, I am not kidding games. I watched them on a video. You inserted the balloon/bulb in your vagina and plug the USB in. Then with your mouse got to the program and click it, Then choose which game you wanted. It was like a Mario game. If you decided on the airplane it showed a small airplane that you had to fly over mountains by squeezing. It also had arrows with balloons you had to pop. The balloons floated at different heights. Another was a little person jumping from moving bridge to moving bridge. There was a series of games on it. In the end, it kept a score, and the next time you tried to beat that score. It was like $150.00. The PC meter I bought that has a hole in it was like $15.00. The balloon/bulb is rotted and I have never seen another one and I think I must have thrown the pamphlet away. That was years ago. Now I slide a finger in and tighten my PC muscles over and over. But they do have things you can buy online.

I am not sure if i understand it right, but thus is my thing. As far as the kegel pressure is concerned, is that the muscle you can “operate at will” that appears to open en close the anus or vagina?

If so than i do this without toys but often with a pool ball inside me, constantly pressing up against the spincher, but trying not to make it pop out, so it stays inside.

Is this the kegel exercise?

I do it for play.

I've started doing them. I read an article on incontinence as we age, so I'm trying to fight it. It will be interesting to see if it enhances other things! :-)

I read that men should do a similar exercise. with an erection you should try to locate and isolate the muscles that pull your penis up. when you can pull it up ten or twenty reps then the book said to add small weight. like put a wash cloth on the end and then do the exercises. and work up to a towel or a wet towel.

I've heard that guys can stop mid stream when they are peeing and that strengthens something. I think it works for women too.

My mom preached the importance of kegels for women when I reached puberty. With rare exceptions, I do them every day along with my regular exercise routine. In addition, I have a soft rubber dildo that I work against a couple of times a week. The result is that I have very strong vaginal muscle that I can control. After sex, I can push a man out of me - going going gone!

Kegels are your friend. I recommend them highly.

Yoni eggs with a bit of dental floss to keep them available and wearing them daily at some point of the day is an excellent way to keep toned.

There is a device, called the Attain, that uses e-stim to make your anal or vaginal muscles contract involuntarily every few seconds, with relaxation in between contractions, to strengthen the muscles:

To use it, you lubricate the probe with a special conductive gel, insert, inflate the probe, and turn on the device. Every few seconds the device electrically stimulates your muscles, anal or vaginal, and they contract The contractions are completely beyond your control. Their strength is adjustable from very mild to very, very intense. I've only been able to go about half-way up the intensity scale. The probe feels like there is a poo about half way out and the e-stim feels like you are trying very hard to pinch the poo off.

After the e-stim period is over, you have to try to pinch off the poo while the pinch force is measured and displayed. A full session lasts about 15 minutes. I do them when in bed for the night.

While the list price is high, they can sometimes be found cheaper.

I regularly perform estim on my anal area which keeps my prostate and PC muscles in good working order.

Reading this made me realise I have not used my kegels for a while. Must rectify this . Let me go find them 😉

From an advertisement for a pelvic floor training device, essentially different size weights you insert in your vagina and hold for some period of time:

“Do you want a pelvic floor with such tone and control you can play ping pong with your hands tied behind your back? If so, meet your new best mate! Toning your downunder might not make you look better in your bikini but it keeps your uterus where it belongs, stops you from peeing on yourself, and makes you a saucy minx in the boudoir. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 -- Pop in, squeeze, sneeze/wink/skip.”

Wish they had something similar for men where you could do batting practice without a bat!

My wife has something similar. the weights hang outside her vagina and there is a astronaut spacecone shaped deal that she puts in her vagina. then adds teh weights to the string.

she can hold all them in. and much more.

its fun to play with

I started doing Kegel exercises about five years ago to overcome the annoying urinary incontinence that resulted from my prostatectomy. I was taught how to do the Kegels by a pelvic floor therapist. You develop the sensation that you are squeezing the muscles that stop urinary flow. The therapist verified which muscles to use in this way: First, I laid on my back, naked from the waste down. She told me to squeeze muscles as if to stop the flow of urine. She verified that this caused my penis to move upward, since the muscles affect motion of the penis. Then she had me lie on my side. She inserted her gloved lubricated finger in my rectum and had me squeeze the relevant muscles. In this way, the therapist can evaluate the strength of the pelvic floor muscles. She had me hold the tightness for ten seconds. Then, after a brief rest, she had me do the squeezes again but with with ten sequential 1 second squeezes.

I continued this routine at home on a daily basis. Sometimes my wife would help with her own gloved lubricated finger. I had several sessions with the pelvic floor therapist to assure my pelvic floor was becoming stronger and that the incontinence from the surgery was improved.

I'm doing pretty well these days.
