I guess I start..
My cervix is on the outside, it can't all hang where it should and no manner of pelvic floor exercises or devises will get it back there.
I'm 41, one fab dd and wanted more but there you are, can't now can I?

This thread, hopefully, will be for those waiting, recovering or supporting

And yes crem, still waiting for an explanation...

TiredDog · 09/12/2013 19:28

I've been googling research, reviews etc on cones, toners, electronic stimulators and just doyerblardyexercising

It seems to depend on the extend of the issue. I've never had stress incontinence or vaginal prolapse. I'm just aware that the op can cause issues. So I'm dithering about spending so much

Lol at a competitive pelvic floor competitor!!

Love the idea of pelvic buddies. People do it t lose weight or be fit.

Might want the thread moved to off the beaten track though....

I too have been spared prolapse etc. but I got a session with a gynae physio the day after my OP and she said that I now had four risk factors- three normal births and one set of surgery. She also said that the latest research said that after gynae surgery, people with no pre existing issues needed six months pelvic training, which is those three sets, three times a day, I posted earlier.

I'm in :)

SantasPelvicFloor · 09/12/2013 21:08

I am deciding between kegel8 ultra and aqua flex cones

Beastofburden · 09/12/2013 21:11

I think the cones are meant to be very good. But they don't measure anything. Don't think that really matters.

SantasPelvicFloor · 09/12/2013 21:19

I'm going with cones :)

Beastofburden · 09/12/2013 21:36

Excellent, we have the makings of a controlled experiment :)

Waitingaround · 09/12/2013 21:39

I fancy the pelvic toner one.. Will order it tomorrow. Like the little case it comes in too Smile
