Do Kegel balls make you tighter?

Kegel balls work by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support the bladder, vaginal canal, uterus, and rectum. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles using Kegel balls or weights can help strengthen vaginal muscles to provide a tighter closure around the urethra, vagina, and rectum.

How to Use Kegel

Exercise Weights

Medically Reviewed By Dr. Amanda Olson, DPT, PRPC How They Work | Getting Started | FAQs | Aftercare For women experiencing pelvic disorders, when it comes time to strengthen your pelvic floor, Kegel exercises are a must. However without adding resistance into your workouts, it is difficult to make significant improvements unless you do a Kegel exercise 80-100 times daily. The problem with performing that many Kegels each day is that it takes a great deal of time and energy, which is often hard to come by in our busy lives. How Do Kegel Weights Work? Kegel exercises are done to strengthen the pelvic floor which is comprised of muscles, and important ones at that. This muscle group provide support of vital organs in women such as the bladder, vaginal canal, uterus, and rectum.Devices such as Kegel balls (also called ben wa balls or eggs), vaginal weights, cones and others are meant to complement traditional Kegel exercises and get you an effective workout in less time and see results faster. Pelvic floor exercises, with or without Kegel balls, help tighten your pelvic floor and can help with common issues in women such as pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence, bladder control and can give you stronger feeling vaginal muscles! Getting Started Using our step by step guide on how to use a Kegel weight, you'll be using yours in no time. (Before using any system, we always recommend consulting a doctor or pelvic floor therapist) Find the Kegel weight appropriate for your current level of strength (usually the lightest weight). Intimate Rose offers six weights in our progressive system. Shop now. Use it for about 15 minutes daily, preferably during some body movement, such as light household chores, showering and getting ready in the morning. As you get stronger, progress to the next heavier one. Knowing Where to Start The first step when using a Kegel exercise trainer is to find your starting point. First and foremost, start by washing them with warm water and mild soap. Begin with the ivory colored ball or the lightest one in your set. Position yourself in a way that is comfortable with one leg raised on a step or chair. Gently insert the ivory weight just as you would a tampon by grasping the end that has the cord attached and sliding it in until the entire bulb is in your vagina, the cord should remain outside of the vagina. Use awater based lubricantas needed.

As you tighten your pelvic muscles to support it, you might notice the weight naturally pulls up and away from your fingers as it's drawn into your vagina. Try to hold or squeeze for a few minutes. If you're successful, relax, remove it and repeat the process moving on to the next darker shade on the following day. Continue this process until you've found a challenging, yet comfortable resistance level that can be held for several minutes but is challenging. Then begin the 15 minute use schedule, using daily until it no longer feels challenging for 2-3 days. At that point, you can begin to use the larger sizes while doing Kegel exercises combined with functional movements as outlined in our Intimate Rose Guide to Kegel Exercises. Once these have become less challenging, progress to the next shade. Common Questions When Using Our Pelvic Floor Exercise System What If The Ivory is Too Heavy?

Don't worry! In this case, you'll want to attempt to hold the it while sitting down instead of standing. If that is still too challenging, try laying down instead. Also, we encourage you to read our guide on how to do Kegel exercises so that you can supplement doing traditional Kegels during the day while not using the device. After a week or two of using the vaginal weights while sitting or lying down, and doing the traditional Kegel exercises in the above link, you'll be ready to start to try them again. Common Mistakes When Doing Kegel Exercises

Also, a common mistake women make when they first start is to flex the abdominal muscles instead of the pelvic floor muscles. When you tighten your abdominals, those muscles tend to push down on the pelvic floor and push the weight out. Flexing your pelvic floor muscles should feel like you're trying to hold back the flow of urine (we don't recommend you stop and start the flow of urine often on the toilet as this is harmful to the pelvic muscles, but you can do it once or twice to teach yourself that feeling). We also recommend you insert Kegel weights while performing traditional Kegel exercises as we discussed above because sometimes it's hard for a beginner to "find" their pelvic floor muscles. It can be challenging to find the pelvic muscles to contract them properly, and because you can’t see them move, thus it can be hard to focus on the right area. This is one reason why many physical therapists recommend pelvic floor weights for patients with poor proprioception, another term for body awareness. What if I Can Hold the Heaviest One Right Away?

This is exceedingly rare. On one hand, congrats! Far less than 1% of our customers are able to do this right away. On the other hand, you can still improve! As Amanda Olson, DPT, PRPC discusses, you should do one or all of the following: Use extra water-based lubricant to ensure vaginal dryness isn't causing too much friction against your vagina. Insert the weight, then perform a Kegel while gently pulling the cord away from your vagina, forcing your muscles to hold it inside. Add in extra body movement including exercises like yoga, pilates, a brisk walk, elliptical machine, or anything that encourages your legs and deep core muscles to activate. Performing these activities with the device inserted is sure to give even a seasoned yoga master a challenge! I've Got the Right One, Now What?

Proceed to use the vaginal weights for around 15 minutes a day routinely, but be sure to listen to your body. Your pelvic muscles are just like any others - when they aren't accustomed to being exercised, they can get sore and tired. Give yourself a break if you need it! Pelvic strength is a marathon, not a sprint and it's different for all women. It will take time and you don't want to over do it. If the current level of resistance is feeling a bit too easy, try to move up to the next darker shade. It's ok to move up and down using different ones depending on how you're feeling that day. Just like normal exercise routines - on some days you're ready to take on the world and on other days, you need a breather. Should I be engaging my pelvic floor muscles the entire 15 minutes?

Having the weight inserted will force your pelvic floor muscles to activate simply through normal bodily movement. Also, gravity and your normal movement will occasionally make the weight begin to slip out. Once you feel this slip, perform a Kegel (engage your pelvic floor muscles) to keep the weight inside. This will also increase your strength. The more your pelvic muscles engage, the stronger you will get. What if I'm happy with my pelvic strength?
