You’ve probably heard about kegel balls, and maybe you’ve thought you should start doing pelvic floor exercises!
I think we’ve all been in the same boat.
In this blog post, we’ll address all your questions about kegel balls, pelvic floor exercises and their place in your life.
Kegel balls are tools that have been developed for training the pelvic floor.
There are many differing opinions on which kegel balls are the best choice. Later in the post, we’ll talk about our suggestions for specific types regardless of your level.
But the very first thing you need to know is what type to look for.
If you’re a beginner, you should do the opposite of what feels most logical. You should start with the largest size and the lightest weight rather than the smaller and heavier ones.
When you’re still practising, a large size helps to ensure the kegel ball will stay in the right place.
The size also makes it easier to feel it when you squeeze. A lightweight ball ensures you don’t over-exert yourself as you practice getting better and stronger.
When you know you have complete control, it’s time to switch to smaller and heavier kegel balls.
Your muscles must be strong enough to hold the balls without any discomfort. The small balls are designed for your muscles to tighten around them without them falling out.
Now that you’ve got the basics down, it’s time for the next step.
You use the kegel ball by simply inserting it into your vagina, squeezing and holding for X amount of minutes before releasing and gently removing it again.
If you’re looking for a more detailed guide:
Always clean your kegel ball before and after use with warm water and mild soap or sex toy cleaner.
When it’s clean, it’s ready to use. You can add a little lube to make it easier to push inside.
Squat to have the best chance at getting the ball to sit in the right place.
Gently push the ball into the vagina and stand up. It may feel a little strange at first, but it should never be uncomfortable – if it’s uncomfortable, remove the ball immediately.
You can use a kegel ball for a maximum of 15 minutes at a time, and even less if you’re a beginner. Start out by wearing it once a day; for example, you can put it in before you brush your teeth and increase the duration over time.
When you’re ready to take it out, squat down again and slowly pull it out.
Clean your kegel ball again before storing it away.
When the baby is finally born and takes over all your time, energy and thoughts, it can be hard to remember to train your most intimate areas.
If you’ve given birth you can use the heavier kegel balls It can be helpful to make them a part of your everyday routine, like when you’re pumping, brushing your teeth, or making lunch.
Wait until you’re 3 months postpartum before using kegel balls, and check in with your doctor so that they can make sure everything is as it should be before you continue your carrying career.
If this had been a question on Jeopardy, we would have taken this question for £500: Do kegel balls rule out pelvic floor exercises? The short answer is no.
The long answer is still no, but based on the fact that you don’t have to choose.
If you easily find the time and form a new habit of squeezing every time you turn right in traffic, then you might not need to invest in kegel balls.
However, if you’re one of many who are aware of their pelvic floor but forget to squeeze during the day, then kegel balls are your salvation.
Get your kegel ball incorporated into your nightly routine, and both you and your pelvic floor will thank you and go to bed happier.
Although you’ve probably heard of the infamous kegel balls and have seen a few, you might not know which one is right for you. Don’t worry; we’ll help with that.
If you’re a proud beginner, pelvic floor balls must be a certain size and weight if you want your training to be optimal.
