Our favoured method of exercising your PC muscles is with Kegel Balls, or Ben-Wa balls. (FYI: Dr Arnold Kegel, was the inventor of the first machine to gauge the strength of the PC muscles, hence the simplified name of Kegel muscles.)
The muscle group, Pubococcygeus (PC), is incredibly important for your whole physiology. It supports your spine, helps you to keep continent (no peeing when you laugh), prevents hernias, and makes sex and orgasms so much better. Pretty good reasons to get exercising asap!
Basic Kegel Exercises
You can do Kegel exercises without Kegel balls. The most basic Kegel exercise is something you do every time you need the loo and are far away from the nearest one: you clench. That’s right; that tightening of the muscles you do to hold in the urine while you desperately cross your legs is a Kegel exercise. Kegel balls just make it a whole lot easier. You can either do specific exercises for short spans of time with the balls, or just insert them and go about your day, all smug in the knowledge that you’re exercising your PC muscles wherever you are throughout the day.
Exercises with Kegel Balls
Exercising with Kegel Balls is simple: grip and release. This is the same as the standard Kegel exercises without Balls of squeeze, hold, release, but is easier for beginners because the balls gives you something to grip. When ready, step things up a notch by gently pull the balls by the cord, while squeezing them at the same time. You should feel a resistance to the pull. Pull for just five seconds, then relax for 10. Repeat up to five times. The final exercise in the batch is to try and push the balls out with these same muscles. Pushing works just as well as clenching.
Sound like too much hard work? Believe us when we say doing that work is well worth the effort. You’ll soon reap the rewards of better posture, less fatigue, no leaks when you sneeze, and way better orgasms. The other good news is that quality Kegel balls do a lot of the work for you. You can pop them into place, and go about your business while the weights inside them move them around and your muscles automatically clench and unclench around them.
Nothing could be simpler!
Our Kegel Balls are divided into three categories: no vibrations, battery-operated, like the Pelvix from Feminitimate, and USB rechargeable. The last two automate the exercise and are particularly good for healing damaged PC muscles. A naughty, far-reaching exerciser is the Lush 3 Egg Vibrator by Lovense, which can be operated remotely from anywhere in the world!
Be aware that your PC muscles can become unfit and slack, just like any other muscle, which decreases your sexual pleasure and control of this cradle of muscles so important to your overall health. So....keep exercising!
