What are the Benefits of Kegel Weights?
Though people often say "no pain, no gain," Kegel exercises offer maximum benefits yet require minimum effort. The benefits of doing kegels during pregnancy are seemingly endless. They can help to:
make pushing easier during labor
tone stretched out vaginal muscles
heal episiotomy wounds
relieve postpartum incontinence
However, benefits of kegels aren’t just limited to pregnancy.
Regularly practicing kegel exercises can also help to:
improve your orgasms
minimize the chances of developing hemorrhoids
help you avoid incontinence later in life
Men who practice kegels will also likely find they have better erections as kegels encourages increased blood flow to the genitals.
The muscle that supports the vagina, the pubococcygeal (PC muscle), may become more lax with age as well as with childbirth. You can strengthen your PC muscle with Kegel exercises. But you must do at least 100 contractions each day, and it may take up to three months before you see a change. To learn how to perform Kegels, sit on the toilet, legs spread. Begin to urinate, then squeeze your pelvic-floor muscle to stop the flow of urine. You have now identified the PC muscle and can squeeze and release it anytime. Add vaginal weights, to your routine to speed up your progress.
When using vaginal cones to assit you in doing your kegel's, most have found results much faster and stronger muscle tone in less time.
You should incorporate this exercise with your vaginal weights into your daily schedule.
Points to remember:
Weak pelvic muscles often lead to urine leakage.
Daily exercises can strengthen pelvic muscles.
These exercises often improve bladder control.
Ask your doctor or nurse if you are squeezing the right muscles.
Tighten your pelvic muscle before sneezing, lifting a heavy object or jumping. This can prevent pelvic muscle damage and urine leakage.
Lady Care uses two new concepts.
Facilitation - The roughened flat bottom makes it easier to 'catch' the vaginal weights if it is sliding out. Also, the weights have non-slippery 'shoulders' which facilitate a muscle contraction when touching the pelvic floor muscles.
Self-positioning - The weight is placed at the bottom of the cylinders, whereby gravity prevents it from falling over and dislocating. The cylinder will position itself in the lower portion of the vagina, where it has the best effect.
