Vaginal Weight Training
 Specially designed step free vaginal weights for strengthening the pelvic muscles can augment pelvic floor exercises. People use a set of vaginal weights of identical shape and volume but of increasing weight (20-100 grams). As part of a structured progressive resistive exercise program, women insert the weight into the vagina and attempt to retain it by contracting the pelvic muscles up to 15 minutes. The weight may be worn while the woman is standing or walking, and the exercise is done twice daily. Such exercises are believed to increases the strength of the pelvic muscles. Additionally, the weight may provide heightened sensory feedback during pelvic muscle contraction [AHCPR, 1996].
Step Free Vaginal Weights are recommended for pre menopausal women and those suffering from stress incontinence. It can be used in combination with other therapies for incontinence, including external and implantable electrical stimulation systems.
PC Muscles
The pelvic floor is a large “hammock” of muscles that stretch from left to right across the floor of the pelvis. This hammock of muscles forms your “undercarriage” and supports the bladder to help keep it closed. The pelvic floor squeezes when you cough or sneeze to prevent urinary leakage and contracts the bowel muscles to prevent fecal incontinence. When the muscles are not working effectively, you may suffer from urinary incontinence (leaking) and/or the urgent or frequent need to pass urine.
The pelvic floor also plays an important role through the Pubo-Coccygeus (PC), and is sometimes also called the “love muscle”. When the PC is in healthy condition, it can provide for a strong and rhythmic contractual response, which increases sexual pleasure for both yourself and your partner during intercourse.
Men and women who suffer from pelvic floor weakness can do pelvic floor exercises to strengthen their sling of muscles. Once learned, the exercises can be simple to do. However, due to excessive muscle weakness, these muscles can be difficult to isolate. Pelvic floor exercisers help patients locate the correct muscles for successful improvement of muscle tone and function.
Kegel Exercises
Kegel exercises is designed to restore muscle tone and strength to the pubococcygeus muscles in order to prevent or reduce pelvic floor problems and increase sexual gratification. Using Step Free Vaginal Weights while doing your Kegel exercises are said to be good for treating vaginal prolapse, incontinence and preventing uterine prolapse in women.
Kegel exercises may be beneficial in treating urinary incontinence in both men and women. Kegel exercises are also known as pelvic floor exercises, or simply Kegels.
