    Default Kegels...?

    How do you know if you are doing Kegels correctly. When I contract I feel everything close am I supposed to feel that. For instance I can feel my butt whole closing as well. Also I know that there are several different ways but which one is the most effective? Basically does anyone have ACTUAL directions

    Yes. I do.
    The simplest way to locate the pc muscles is when you are urinating. Just stop the flow. Those are the pc's. They are best strengthened using a resistance device such as the Kegel Master or vaginal weights. You can expect to spend about $100 US. Mine came with an instructional dvd. I've done kegels for years, tried a couple of things such as one that you squeeze between your thighs. That might give you stronger trimmer thighs but didn't seem to do much for the pc's.

    I really like my kegel master, the difference was notable within 2 weeks. I was having some trouble with sudden urgency (I don't mean horniness) and leaking, especially when I was running. Not a problem anymore. (This is largely the result of muscle and nerve damage from delivering children while laying on your back - bad idea - stupid Henry the 8th) The resistance device ups the effectiveness hugely and because you can keep adjusting the levels it stays effective.

    It can do very nice things for your sex life too, individually or with a partner. When mine says squeeze me, he's not talking hands. I think it makes you juicier too.

    You know I have heard good things about it and am really interested in it. I'm glad you responded...see this is a commercial moment where I would look at the camera and stick my thumb up and say "Thanks Women's Health Forum" with a quirky smile..lol

    I have done what I consider kegels for a while but never have thought I was doing it correctly. How often do you use your kegelmaster? Maybe I should start a post and see how many women use it? What do you mean it makes you juicier?

    I vary, started off using it 3 times a day. Now a few times a week but probably more effectively. I now use the instructions from the book, The Orgasm Loop. Just about everything positive makes me juicy but well toned muscles will get your vaginal walls stronger and I think you get juicier. Mentally and physically.

    Kegels are awesome for general physical strength down below. However physically speaking I do not think that doing kegels would make you more wet, at least I have not been taught anything in school that would lead me to believe it would. Psychologically though you can condition yourself to become wet while doing the kegels.
    There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.

    Ben Wa balls work well for me. However, I did buy Smartballs one time and got a horrible UTI. I think it was the material, maybe I have an allergy to it. So now I just use the regular Ben Wa balls. I can't tell a huge difference, but my husband says he can.

    I got Smartballs and am not thrilled with them. What is the difference between them. I thought Smartballs were Ben Wa Balls.

    Yeah - the Smartballs got really good reviews, but they just don't agree with me.

    Ben Wa balls are generally seperate weighted balls, most are metal, some are glass, some are hooked together with strings.

    Mine are similiar to these.


    I hope posting a link is okay, I'll remove it if not
