    Default Kegel Exercises

    I got my kids a trampoline, but I can't jump on it because I leak urine!!!! It's awful!! I do Kegel exercises regularly, so I don't know what else to do. I know there are kegel exercise devices to help. Has anyone used one? Do they really make your exercises more effective? Any other suggestions?

    I've heard of a bio-feedback type device that was designed for Kegels. Maybe ask you OB-GYN?

    Good luck.

    hi .... so i bought something called the Jade Egg
    its supposidly used in kama sutra type things
    I havent used it yet... but the lady that promotes it (sexualhealing.com or in the products found at supernaturallife.com)
    speaks highly of it
    also says working your vaginal muscles.. aside from the act of sex.. is good for fibroids and overall hormone womens health
    Shes also into belly dancing
    supposidly you work up to putting this egg inside of you (string attached) about the size of a golf ball.. and you learn to almost juggle it.. move it completly upside down
    i think if i could work those muscles that good it might be something pretty cool... im sure would help the urine leak too
    ill post when i actually try the thing and let you know
    its also a bit weighted .. i'll be super vagina!!

    This may sound a little silly, but I read this somewhere a long time ago. If you take an empty soda can and place it between your legs, contract your kegel muscles and inner thighs and hold for 5 counts. do this for like 20 reps and it can help. Helps that problem area of the thighs too. This could be the female version of guys crushing beer cans on their foreheads!!

    Anais,
    If you have been doing Kegels and still have this problem, you may have a dropped bladder (especially common after difficult childbirth, forceps delivery, etc.). In my case, it just got worse over time, to the point where I was avoiding exercise, running, jumping, etc., was just too embarrassing. I had surgery last year to correct, and it is amazing! No longer do I have to avoid activities, worry about coughing, sneezing - the best decision I have made. If you decide to go this route, make sure you get a good surgeon - my doctor referred me to one, and I had to wait almost a year to see him, but she said that he was the best in the city, and well worth the wait.
    Good luck!

    The Jade Egg
    The Ancient Secret to "The Goddess Grip"!

    Want to order by phone? Need more more info? Call at us 202-545-8888



    Do you want to tone and move your Yoni muscles exquisitely for your own pleasure and your mate's? Kegel exercises are just too simple! The Jade Egg-ercises help you learn to move your yoni in a slow wave pattern, or just the top or middle or bottom of your Yoni. Even from side to side! This is what we call "The Goddess Grip". This makes your Yoni more sensitive and awake for pleasure. Your partner will also feel larger to you.

    What else can the Jade Egg exercises do for me?

    The exercises will help normalize your hormones (lessen the days of your cycle, PMS, Heavy cycles, hot flashes). You can prevent incontinence (weak bladder, frequent urination), prepare your yoni walls to for pregnancy, get your yoni back into shape after pregnancy. The energy you feel after doing the exercises is invigorating and energizing.

    Women from ages 16 to 96 have used the egg with amazing health results!

    I’ve seen stone eggs in made from many other stones. Why should I use Jade?
    Jade is a smooth semi-precious stone with a non-porous surface. This is important for hygiene. Jade eggs can be easily sanitized by boiling, thereby avoiding cleaners and soaps that can irritate sensitive yoni tissue. In the East, Jade is prized for its mystical and healing properties. It is said to invigorate and revitalize a woman's chi (sexual energy). The Empresses of China owned entire collections of jade eggs.

    Jade eggs differ in color from bright green to white to black. We like to say that each egg has it's own personality.

    The Jade Eggs are very different from "Ben Wa balls" which are usually made out of steel or plastic (like ob/gyn instruments. Ouch and Yuck!) Instead Jade is all natural stone and warms to your body's temperature. Now that's sexy.

    Why does the Jade Egg have a hole drilled though it?
    This hole is there for you to add a string to the egg so as to remove it easily from the vagina after exercising. Also as you become more advanced, you can attach small weights to really work those muscles.

    Many women also learn to use 2 eggs at once. A woman that practices regularly can learn to move the 2 eggs in opposite directions until they hit each other. The vibrations are heavenly. You'll need the Healing Love Through the Tao Book to help you with Jade Egg exercises..

    Can I send the Jade Egg as a gift?
    Please do! Give the gift of good health. Your friend or loved one will thank you for it. You simply enter the shipping address you want it sent to and we will send it there.

    I want to order while maintaining my privacy. How are the items billed and shipped?
    Your order will be billed by “Kama Sutra Arts" and sent to you in plain packaging.

    Can I order off-line?
    Yes! We will be glad to accept your payment by phone. Please call us at 202-545-8888 to order.

    Feel free to e-mail us with any questions you may still have at [email protected]

    Thanks, Ara, for the advice. Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I do wonder if that is my problem. I had 2 big babies (10 and 11 lbs.) and the first one was a forcep delivery with a lot of tearing. I have noticed since then, leaking a little urine occasionally when coughing or sneezing, but have never tried something major like jumping on a trampoline. I wonder if this has been a problem since my children were born and I didn't really know it.

    The jade egg sounds very interesting, much more of a workout than Kegels. has anyone tried it yet? Is it difficult to learn? I worry it would be hopeless for me; if I can't even hold my urine in, no way I can flip an egg.

    If you do have a bladder prolapse, no amount of Kegels, or Jade eggs will help, as the issue is not with the tightness of the vaginal muscles. If I remember correctly how my surgeon explained it - there is a little valve between the bladder and the urethra that keeps the urine in the bladder. When the bladder drops too low, the valve can no longer close fully. When you experience forces like jumping, sneezing, coughing, the urine leaks through the opening in the valve.

    My daughter is 12, and she was a difficult forceps birth, I believe the initial damage was done then, but it did get much worse over the years. I began to avoid any vigorous exercise and dreaded getting a cold. When I quit my ballet class because I could no longer do the jumps without soaking a pad, I finally brought it up to the doctor. Although it was really embarrassing, I was more scared I would end up in diapers! Now I can't imagine why I waited so long to seek treatment - my allergies were acting up right after my surgery and I had to keep reminding myself that I no longer needed to sqeeze my thighs together whenever I sneezed!

    I really want to check into that, but I do not have health insurance right now and cannot afford surgery. How do they tell if your bladder is prolapsed? A sonogram? Or something more invasive? Thanks.

    I want to hear some reviews of this jade egg. it sounds kinda cool.....

    a variation of kegal i have heard is when you pee, let some out, then stop, then start, then stop... i do this sometimes and can useually stop it compleatly 1-3 times. itactually comes in very handy actually when i go to the doctor, they always want a urine sample from the middel. they get upset if you include the begining.........

    Anais,

    Sorry to hear you don't have health insurance right now - that does make things more difficult. With all the issues we have with our health care system in Canada, it is nice to be able to get treatments and procedures when needed, even if it takes a ridiculously long time.

    As far as being diagnosed, it was actually pretty simple, a combination of history and a manual check during a routine pap/checkup. Basically the doctor asked me to bear down while she had her finger inside me, and she was able to feel the bladder pressing against the vaginal wall. Once she referred me to the surgeon, he did his own test - this one was super embarrassing but effective. He had me stand up (on a paper towel), inserted a finger in my vagina, and asked me to cough. I peed on the floor! I was completely humiliated, but he was pleased, cause apparently it confirmed the diagnosis perfectly.

    I['m not sure how it works there, but maybe you are better off not getting diagnosed just yet, you don't want to be disqualified later for a "preexisting condition". Just keep it in mind, and hopefully later you will have good medical insurance, and you can bring it up then.
    Good luck!

    I am going tomorrow to get examined to participate in a medical study for a prescription to help "urinary stress incontinence". The doctor will be able to tell if it is a prolapsed bladder or not. I am nervous about finding out and hope that it is something medication can help.
