Kegel Exercise Weights are easy to use and they offer several advantages over other weight sets:1) they require no assembly or reassembly when you want to increase or decrease the weight you exercise with. 2) there are six weights more than in any other vaginal weight set.3) Kegel Exercise Weights have a larger weight range than any other vaginal weight set, wich helps you get the most out of your exercises (in the morning the pelvic floor will be able to hold a higher weight than in the evening when the pelvic floor muscle is tired).
You should expect this training program to take you 1-2 months of consistent participation to achieve significant results which may include reduced urine leakage and improved sexual pleasure. Please remember to discuss issues of incontinence with your doctor before beginning a training program with Kegel Exercise Weights. Some forms of incontinence may not be improved by strengthening your pelvic floor muscles.The StepFree Daily Exercise ProgramIntimate weights are color coded and work progressively: when a weight is inserted and it requires no or very little effort to keep it inside for 10-15 minutes, the next higher color coded weight can be used for the next exercise session.25g: yellow40g: green55g: orange70g: blue85g: red95g: purpleWith one leg elevated on a chair or toilet or semi reclined position start out by grasping the lightest weight where the cord meets the rest of the plastic shell.Push the weight gently into your vagina with only the cord remaining on the outside. If the weight pushes down onto your finger, you are probably using your abdominal muscles instead of your pelvic floor muscles.Tighten your pelvic floor muscles (they may naturally tighten slightly around the weight) If you are using the correct muscles you may notice the weight pull away from your fingers as it is drawn into the vagina.If you are not already standing, stand up. If you can retain the lightest weight while walking around for 2 minutes then move to the next higher weight. Continue increasing weights until you find that you can not retain the weight you are using for 2 minutes while walking around. Use the weight that is one weight lighter than the one you can not retain for 2 minutes. That will be your starting point. If you can not hold the lightest weight for 2 minutes while walking, this will still have to be your starting weight.Once your starting weight is established, you should aim to increase the time you are able to keep the cone in place. Try to reach the maximum of 15 minutes two times a day. Once you can retain your weight for that amount of time move on to the next heavier weight.You may want to try doing things to make it harder to hold your weight in while exercising with your weights. See if you can hold the weight inside while you climb stairs or cough 2-3 times.Wear underwear to catch the weight if it falls out.How to clean you Kegel Exercise WeightsEach vaginal weight you use should be cleaned before and after use.
