Kegel Exercisers: The Ultimate Guide
Exercising your pelvic floor muscles should be a part of your daily fitness routine, no matter your age. But, did you know that you can make Kegels easier with a Kegel exerciser?
A Kegel exerciser is a device that helps you perform those all important pelvic floor exercises. Simple exercisers offer biofeedback to show when you are squeezing the muscles correctly. Advanced exercisers are an even better alternative, such as an electronic Kegel exerciser. An electronic pelvic floor toner can work those pelvic floor muscles for you - all with the push of a button. An electronic device is a must have for those who cannot correctly contract their pelvic floor muscles, or for those who already have a weak pelvic floor (often characterised by little leaks when they cough or sneeze and/or even a prolapse).
What are the Benefits of Kegel Exercisers?
Kegel exercisers help to take the confusion out of pelvic floor exercise. If you make Kegel exercises a part of your daily fitness regime, you will definitely notice benefits inside and out. Benefits of a strong pelvic floor include:
- Improved intimate sensations for both you and your partner
- Decreased likelihood of developing urinary incontinence
- Better control over your bladder and bowel
- Improved pelvic floor support of your pelvic organs
- Easier pregnancy and childbirth
The Kegel8 electronic toners produce comfortable and safe muscle stimulation that effectively contract the correct muscles in your pelvic floor – strengthening and toning your pelvic floor with the push of a button.
Electronic stimulation of your pelvic floor muscles teaches you what an effective Kegel contraction should feel like – so that you can practice your Kegels anytime, anywhere!
Things You Need to Know About Kegels:

- Kegels target two types of muscle fibres in your pelvic floor; fast twitch and slow twitch fibres.
