Okay, so maybe I won't be getting my husband another woman for this Valentine's Day (wink, wink) but I'm working hard to feel like one.
Yes, dear readers (ladies or otherwise), I said working on it. Even as I type this I'm working on making my lady bits feel like a whole new woman.
{insert canned laughter}
I am talking kegel exercises, girls.
K E G E L!
Squeeze 1... 2... 3... release and repeat.
Now, for most of the woman who are reading this, I truly hope that this is not a new concept.
My OB/GYN recommended I start doing kegel exercises at my first official, "Yep, I'm knocked up," appointment. Being that I was overwhelmed that I actually got knocked up when I thought we were careful, kegels were the last thing on my mind. Fast forward to having my first and you better believe I do them whenever I (squeeze) think. about. it. release. phew.
Personally, I have been a fan of ben wa balls for quite sometime now but even doing kegels without them, brings about a little fun in my day. I love being in a mundane meeting and thinking, if they only knew, s-q-u-e-e-z-e. Our minds can be a great form of excitement and when that fails - sex toys! Luckily, when our lady door is feeling a little run down there is also a whole line of ben wa and non ben wa balls to aid in getting the deed done. Not necessary, but variety is the spice of life!
The benefits of kegels are simple but powerful: strengthen the pelvic floor to stop the "oops" incident when sneezing, coughing or laughing and a strong pelvic muscle can lead to better orgasms. Better. Orgasm. That is enough to get me through them, well, that and the occasional happy ending wink, wink.
Can you imagine having this discussion over coffee or appletinis with a bunch of your girls? I feel like this is where this one should take place or... maybe in a locker room. Either way, I would love your input on the subject! Do you kegel? Are you right now?
