The pelvic floor musculature (IPM) is the support of the female body that holds the most feminine and the most significant that it holds within. Its health affects almost all our physical functions, well-being in general, as well as sexual pleasure and therefore also emotions. A strong and healthy pelvis is important for all women, regardless of age and relationship status, but how to train it so as not to do yourself more harm than good with the wrong exercises or trainers?

Better health, more pleasure

To be sure of the important role of the pelvis, it is worth refreshing your knowledge of anatomy. The IPM consists of several layers of different muscles, which together form the pelvic floor, and support all the organs of the small pelvis - the vagina, uterus, bladder and rectum. Figuratively speaking, if the pelvis is like a vessel that holds our most feminine organs, then the pelvic floor musculature is like the bottom of this vessel that holds them all. Weak IPM is most often indicated by urinary incontinence, prolapse of the pelvic organs, physical discomfort and inability to experience sexual pleasure. Very often, IPM training becomes relevant after pregnancy and childbirth. Also, women who are overweight, have incorrect posture or who lift heavy weights with determination tend to encounter these problems. Therefore, in order to achieve the desired result, experts recommend evaluating your daily habits and overall health status for additional exercises.

IPM is also often referred to as the muscles of love or pleasure - studies show that women with strong IPM rate their sex life as better and enjoy stronger contractions during orgasm, which enhances the sensations for both herself and the man. When developing IPM, various sexual dysfunctions, lack of libido or difficulties in reaching the climax of pleasure also decrease.

Myths about Kegel

In the world, IPM development techniques are often recognized by the name of the American gynecologist Arnold Kegel, calling them Kegel exercises. It was he who was the first to conduct research and actualize the importance of IPM in the female body at the beginning of the 20th century, as well as to create the first intimate trainer and exercises for developing this musculature. Unfortunately, nowadays the understanding of Kegel's heritage is often mistaken, and his name is associated with both very primitive training techniques and tools, the use of which pelvic health specialists do not support.

Kegel has not created any system that advocates developing IPM with stone eggs (in English they are most often called yoni eggs ) or vaginal balls, which today are called Kegel balls without justification. The use of yoni eggs is most often based on tantric practices, not anatomical reasons, and can even be harmful to health. Vaginal balls, on the other hand, are basically a sex toy designed to enhance pleasure, not to develop musculature. Only some of them can be used as an additional tool during intimate exercises.

IPM trainers - which one to choose?

• Trainers with digital functions

The safest and most convenient choice is to use exercise machines specially designed for developing IPM with digital functions, which, by measuring vaginal pressure, allow you to monitor how correctly the exercises are performed, both in terms of muscle contraction and relaxation, and breathing. The feedback is one of the main bonuses of these devices, because the user immediately sees if the movement needs to be changed or improved. Among the most recognized devices in this field, the use of which is also supported by pelvic specialists, are Elvie and Perifit , which stand out for their functionality, tasteful design, and also allow you to draw up a personal training plan, set reminders and give you the opportunity to evaluate your progress. In addition, the interesting exercise visualizations on the phone make the workouts more exciting and give them a nice dose of playfulness!

• Vaginal balls

Vaginal balls are mostly produced as sex toys, so they should be used for IPM training only when the principles of correct exercise - breathing and the actions to be performed together with it - have been learned. As there are many different types of balls and not all are suitable for exercise, it is worth bearing in mind that lighter, more one-piece, elongated models made of soft material, such as Svakom Nova , Je Joue Ami , CalExotics and FemmeFit will be more suitable for developing IPM .

It should also be remembered that inserting vaginal balls into the vagina and simply going about your daily routine with them will not enhance IPM. Also, we would not get a firm hand relief by walking with a stationary dumbbell pressed into the armpit.

• Trainers with electrostimulation

Although electrostimulation vibrators like the Mystim Electric Eric are initially viewed with caution by some women, they can serve as great pleasure tools and exercisers at the same time. The current pulses stimulate the pelvic muscles, improve blood flow in the pelvis, thus helping to promote sensitivity in women who have weak or lost it. this device is suitable during menopause or after childbirth to restore the elasticity of the vagina and temporarily improve its tone. However, it should be noted that electrostimulation devices are not recommended to be used for a long time, but in the form of a course, after which the body should be allowed to rest.

IPM development training with any intimate trainer should not be performed during pregnancy and menstruation, as well as in case of several health problems. If you have even the slightest doubt, we invite you to contact your doctor, physiotherapist or pelvic specialist and safely ask a consultant in the store before buying a trainer! IPM training should be another enjoyable way to get to know and accept your body, touch yourself and let yourself be on the path to loving, caring and strengthening your pelvis.
