Kegel Balls
Have you ever had to pee really badly and there isn't a suitable bathroom nearby so you had to 'hold it in’?. We all have been in such a situation. Your kegel muscle, scientifically known as the pubococcygeneus muscle, is a muscle found along your pelvic floor that helps you control your bladder among its many other functions. Individuals who can 'hold it in’ for longer periods of time generally have stronger kegel muscles.
Kegel exercises are designed to make your kegel muscles stronger by repeatedly contracting and releasing these muscles. One simply squeezes and releases their pelvic muscles in three second cycles. At the very least, kegel exercises allow for greater control of vaginal muscles.
One way of doing kegel exercises is through the use of kegel or Ben wa balls. They are small weight devices that help strengthen a woman's vaginal and pelvic floor muscles. They have been in use since ancient times but mainly for sexual stimulation. The beauty of using kegel balls is that one need not concentrate on squeezing and releasing your pelvic muscles, rather you just have to insert them in your vagina and leave them there. Once inside, they will roll around thus working your kegel muscles with this movement.
Of course the thought of having little balls bouncing around in your vagina may seem daunting but it is actually quite effortless and with time you might find yourself going about your daily routine while wearing them. You could be chairing a business meeting or having coffee with friends while exercising your kegel muscles.
While inserting kegel balls,find a comfortable, relaxed position. The balls should be lubricated and insert them into your vagina one by one in a gentle manner. Gently push them upward in a similar manner as you would vaginal tampons. Once inserted, stand up and move about till you get the hang of it. They should be held in for at least fifteen minutes but as you get used to them you can wear them for hours. To remove the balls, you can try sneezing or sitting in the position of having a bowel movement among other methods. The idea is to relax your vaginal muscles enough for them to slip out.
Kegel balls come in different sizes and materials. Your priority should be that you get balls that are body safe. The best are those made out of non-porous materials so go for silicon, glass and metal. The heavier and bigger the balls, the harder it will be for you to keep them in so go for a set that is the most comfortable for you.
Kegel exercises have been highly recommended by gynecologists and obstetricians. You will have better bladder control as well as better sex as strong kegel muscles means intense sexual arousal and more explosive orgasms.
