The Kegelmaster
The Kegelmaster is hailed as “The ultimate feminine fitness system”, so you can imagine how pumped I was upon purchasing this gift for my vagina! I stalked this product on the internet for a long time before I purchased it and when it finally arrived, I wasn’t disappointed.
The Kegelmaster is a progressive resistance vaginal exerciser, designed to perfect the pelvic floor exercise called “the kegel.” It helps women tighten their pubococcygeal muscles, PC muscles, which form the hammock or sling underneath all the pelvic organs. The PC muscles are responsible for controlling the flow of urine and supporting the bladder, uterus and rectum. The Kegelmaster relies on the basic principles of progressive resistance exercise which is essential in reconditioning weakened muscles. The ultimate goal in using this product is to strengthen the vaginal muscles which have typically weakened from childbirth, lack of use, ageing, hormones, neurological disorders and pelvic trauma.
Millions of women experience slight bladder leakage when coughing, laughing, sneezing, lifting heavy items, running or partaking in any movement which places stress on the pelvic floor muscles due to a change in the intra abdominal pressure. Its very common and totally fixable. Every year, billions of dollars are spent on heavy drugs and invasive surgical procedures to correct this issue and sadly, many of the women who are encouraged to undertake these serious operations, don’t actually need to go down this route. There are many natural, low cost, non-invasive devices on the market that can tighten your muscles and reduce stress incontinence. After just a few short weeks, you will notice a significant change in your urinary and vaginal control.
The Kegelmaster is right up there with the best of these devices! It looks like a firm plastic dildo with a little knob on the side which, when released, allows the phallus to open wide, like a sausage cut down the middle, but still attached at one end. In the middle of this open shaft, are 4 little raised circular holes on both halves. These are where you place the surgical grade stainless steel springs. Each set depicting a higher or lower level of resistance. You place the spring on the setting suitable, close the Kegelmaster and wind the knob on the side a few times to keep the spring(s) in place, but not to close the phallus completely.
Now, this is not an exercise to do when your family is home. You need privacy and no interruptions! Lie supine on the bed, floor or wherever is comfortable. Bend your knees, lube the device and slowly insert it. To be honest, it feels like the speculum your doctor inserts prior to a pap smear. The Kegelmaster is now shaped like a half open dildo. The end in your hand is closed and the other end is slightly open and once inserted, your PC muscles are meant to try and close it. Its not super large and long, so its not painful or too uncomfortable. It is designed so that only the first 11cm can be inserted and its only about 3cm wide.
This is a product that needs to be progressed in stages. I found that it feels completely different to every other pelvic floor training device I have used. The muscles are stimulated quicker and fatigue faster due to the immediate biofeedback. There is NO way you can do this one wrong as once its in your vagina, your body just seems to know what to do. This device is targeted, accurate and truly fantastic!
If you are less than 6 weeks postpartum, have a suspected pelvic floor prolapse or are less than 6 weeks post genitourinary or pelvic surgery, please seek medical authorisation prior to using this amazing tool. It cannot be used in conjunction with tampons, pessaries or diaphragms and all you do is wash it in warm soapy water, before and after use and make sure you’re relaxed enough to ensure you get the most out of your pelvic floor training.
The Kegelmaster comes complete with a black satin carry bag, 4 resistance springs, instruction manual and a sheet to record your bladder habits, all tucked neatly into a plain black box. No one will even know what it is.
