The first toy recommendation is, in fact, not a toy recommendation at all. But please don't leave; just trust me, you'll thank me when you're in your 40s or after you've had kids.

Nobody tells you this, but sooner or later, almost every woman will suffer from some form of incontinence. It's not a rare condition, but it's the norm. ALL of my female friends I talked to, even the ones who never gave birth, started having more or less severe problems at some point. Some lose a few drops while laughing, running, jumping or lifting heavy weights; some have to run to the toilet much more often than when they were younger. Sometimes it's also not just a few drops. And let me tell you, it can be incredibly annoying.

All of this happens because, over time, your pelvic floor loses strength due to stress from pregnancies and/or from hormone change that comes with age, and it's perfectly normal. Even some young women are affected due to weak connective tissues. It's time to stop treating it as a taboo because there's something that can be done about it. And that's what I want to talk about here because every woman should know.

I tried several kegel balls, but they didn't really do anything. I probably just used them wrong, and they may work well for others who know what they are doing. To me, they were just frustrating. Then I stumbled across a kegel exerciser that came with an app. It has all kinds of electronics built in that measure if you use the right muscles, how long you can contract them and so on. It tracks your progress, and, of course, it also gives you feedback, so it's fool safe. Another feature is that it comes with games that can even be played competitively, which is really quite fun.

After using it regularly for a few weeks, I started to notice a difference, a big difference. I actually didn't have any symptoms at all anymore after two months. Unfortunately, it doesn't cure you. So when you stop exercising, your problems will return after a while. You will have to keep using it several times a week. But that, in my opinion, is a small trade-off.

You may ask yourself why you should get a device like that when you don't have any of the problems I discussed. Well... It has more uses that may be more interesting to you. Kegel training is said to also positively affect the quality of your orgasms and can help you have a more fulfilling sex life. I can't give you any personal insights on that, however, because I've always been very lucky in that department and therefore can't say that I noticed any changes.

Anyway, I hope this short chapter was or will be helpful to you in the future.

Take care of your pelvic floor so you can enjoy the toys we'll review in future chapters even more!

Lots of love,
