As women, our bodies go through various stages and experiences, including childbirth, hormonal fluctuations, and aging. While we are incredibly powerful, these natural processes can impact our pelvic floor muscles and may impact our sex lives. We all know that vaginas are naturally resilient and don't "loosen," but some women may want to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles to boost their confidence and intensify their sexual pleasure. We’ve created a guide that explores different methods to strengthen vaginal muscles, allowing you to unlock a new level of pleasure. So come on, babe, let’s dive in. 

What is Pelvic Floor Health?

Before we get too deep, let's break down why pelvic floor health is so important. The pelvic floor consists of muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Pregnancy and childbirth, hormonal changes, and age can impact the pelvic floor muscles, and while these things are natural, they could lead to stress urinary incontinence or diminished sexual sensations. Good thing strengthening the pelvic floor is all you need for perks like better bladder control and a better sex life. Need we say more?

Pelvic Floor Exercises: Queen of Kegels 

Pelvic floor exercises, aka Kegels, are a fantastic way to strengthen vaginal muscles. These exercises involve contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles, enhancing their tone and function. Regular Kegel exercises can lead to increased pelvic floor strength, improved bladder control, and even provide more sensation to your V.

Guide to Kegels:

1. Identifying your pelvic floor muscles is easy, just imagine stopping the flow of urine midstream.
2. Next, contract the pelvic floor muscles and hold for a few seconds.
3. Relax the muscles and repeat the process for 10-15 minutes daily. Do them while at your desk at work, while watching TV, or during the before-bed TikTok scroll. 

Give them a try, then reap all the benefits.

While Kegals can be done sans toys, adding your vibrating bestie makes them way more fun. Try inserting Vibez or Disco Stick into your vagina and follow the steps above, and basque in the euphoric sensations of a strengthening O.

Embracing Sexual Wellness Devices

Playing with sex toys, such as clitoral vibrators and G-spot vibrators, can also strengthen vaginal muscles. These toys stimulate blood flow to your V, which can promote better muscle tone. While they won't directly tighten the vagina, they can enhance sexy time and help you reconnect with your body.

Lubricants for Comfort and Pleasure

Lube is always a must. Using lubricants during sex can enhance comfort and pleasure. Opt for water-based lubricants to provide a smooth texture without compromising the effectiveness of condoms, sex toys, or coconut oil based lubricants for non-condom users. 

Get Over The Finish Line: Embrace Your Empowered Self

Now that you’ve dabbled in all things pelvic floor, you can start practicing for yourself. Embrace the power of Kegels and consider incorporating vibrators and lubricants into your sex life. Remember that vaginas are naturally resilient, and this journey is about embracing self-love and enhancing your pleasure.
