How to choose your kegel ball?

There are 3 main categories of kegel balls:

• Kegel balls "for play": this is the case with metal kegel balls, which are very heavy and allow you, for example, to play with thrusting motions. They will not, however, be suitable for pelvic floor rehabilitation, and will be confined to a sexual purpose / bedroom play. Often the most affordable in terms of price.
• Sets and "kits": with progressively increasing sizes and weights and different shapes, kegel ball sets are perfectly suited to pelvic floor strengthening work. They allow each person to progress at their own pace.
• Pelvic floor probes: these connected kegel balls allow you to keep track of your progress. They offer various fun and motivating exercise programmes, which adapt to the state of your pelvic floor and your progression.

What are the benefits of a strong pelvic floor?

Having a well-toned pelvic floor allows you to:

• to avoid anything related to urinary leaks and prolapse (organ prolapse)
• to increase vaginal sensitivity
• to improve natural lubrication
• to amplify the intensity of orgasms
• to be able to control your pelvic floor muscles, and therefore tighten them during penetration: more pleasure for both partners!

How to become aware of your pelvic floor?

To locate the pelvic floor muscle, try one of these two methods: the stop-wee technique or the finger method.

• The first consists of stopping the flow of urine for a few seconds when you are on the toilet. The muscles used to stop the flow: that's your pelvic floor.
• The second consists of inserting one gold two fingers into the vagina up to two knuckles and contracting with all your strength to hold the fingers inside. You can thus feel not only where the pelvic floor muscle is located, but also get an idea of your muscle tone based on your ability to prevent gold no the fingers from coming out.

How do kegel balls work?

Kegel balls help to strengthen the pelvic floor in 2 ways:

• Their weight, which pulls them downward, triggers a reflex contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor then contracts automatically to keep the kegel balls inside the vagina.
• A mobile ball inside most kegel ball models. With each of your movements, this ball moves and "taps" the vaginal walls. This will trigger reflex contractions of the pelvic floor.

How to use kegel balls?

1. Insert your kegel balls into the vagina. Apply a small amount of water-based lube for added comfort. The silicone retrieval cord should rest on the outside, just like a tampon.
   
   
2. Wear the ball for about 30 to 45 minutes while going about your various activities. Walk, do your shopping, your housework — the essential thing is to keep moving!
   
   
3. Once the time is up, gently pull on the silicone retrieval cord to remove the ball.

Repeat this exercise 4 to 5 times a week, then after about 10 days, do the same exercise with a heavier ball. Some kegel balls are part of a set with several kegel balls of different weights. From the very first month, you'll be able to contract your pelvic floor much more easily and see the results of your efforts.

A little tip to find the most comfortable position for inserting and removing your kegel balls: imagine it's a tampon. Squatting, with one leg on the edge of the bath, gold lying down — try different positions. Don't forget that, just like abdominal muscles, the pelvic floor muscles need regular maintenance: it is advised to follow a complete pelvic floor toning programme one to two times a year to maintain good muscle tone.

And to go further in your toning, following childbirth for example, use your kegel balls to practise Kegel exercises: series of voluntary contractions, for example between 40 and 60 contractions per session.
