I'm a physio - and I think part of the problem is they way we teach the exercises.
They are a bit random - it's easy to strengthen your arm because you can SEE it move, but your PF? How do you know you are doing it right?
I am fairly frank when yakking on about them. You want to ever have an orgasm again? Do your blardy pelvic floor exercises.
In the interests of full and frank disclosure - you need to be sure you are actually contracting your muscles. If you are bobbing up and down when you do them - that's not it, that's your butt. If you are squinting your eyes and tilting your head and holding your breath when you do them? Not sure what's going on, but it's doubtful that you are doing your PF very well...
If you're not sure... the easiest way to check whether you are doing them right is to bung something in there - your finger, a tampon, a bit of someone else's anatomy, doesn't matter. And, squeeze it. You'll get a bit of feedback on what the sensation is like. Remember that sensation (well, depending on what you are squeezing) and then try to replicate it with an empty fanjo.
Squeeze and hold for ten secs.
Ten quick flicks.
Then, imagine that your fanjo is a lift/elevator. Squeeze, and lift it to first floor, second floor, third floor - and then back down.
Repeat.
And, repeat.
And, repeat.
You can get strength training devices from Boots (othe chemists are available) They look like little tampons, but are weights that you insert and do your exercises with. Use tehm when you are doing the hoovering/walking up and down stairs or whatever too, for strength training. They are really good - but they only work if you actually USE them, and, Top Tip - make sure you can competently hold the thing in if you go out...
...I once saw one rolling in the cereal aisle of Sainsbos.
Oops.
Wisnae mine, I hasten to add.
Anyhoo - the point is that, apart from not pishing yourself every time you laugh, and not having to "plan" your shopping trips to include shops with toilets, and not having low back pain and a fanny like a bucket - you'll have more orgasms with less effort.
You doing them now?
Course you are.
