Kegel Exercises

Kegel exercises were devised by Arnold Kegel for the purpose of regaining pelvic muscle function in post natal women. As well as improving sexual enjoyment after childbirth Kegel exercise can improve overall enjoyment of sex. Fancy reaching orgasm quicker than before and enjoying a better climax or have you ever tried stimulating your partners penis during penetration just with your vaginal muscles?, Kegel exercises can enable that level of muscle manipulation and before you know it shooting ping pong balls across the room will be within your grasp!

The PC Muscle runs between the pubic and tail bone in both sexes and are the muscles you would commonly use to hold on to your wee if your bladder is full and you are trying to find a loo. Practising at holding your urine stream whilst on the toilet is a good way to start. Gradually build up the number of squeezes that you do daily and don't worry about finding a special time to do it as nobody knows what you are doing. Try 3 sets of 10 squeezes building to 3 sets of 20 and you will start to feel the results within a couple of weeks. Don't go for the maximum squeeze you can manage keep it relaxed and hold each squeeze for about 3 seconds.

Men will also benefit from Kegel exercise and it will improve the chances of multiple orgasm which is less common in males. Once you have exercised for a month or so you may even be able to lift a hand towel with your semi-erect penis!

Kegel toys are less sex toys and more exercise aids, think of them as dumb bells for the vaginal muscles. It is often easier to clench your muscles around something as the resistance can be felt and your partners penis is the perfect tool or a kegel exerciser or love ball. The Smartballs from Funfactory sex toys offers two weighted balls for stimulating movement or the Teneo which is a single ball for squeezing.

Pumping the PC Muscles

Eat 5 fruit and veg a day, exercise 3 times a week, Drink 6 glasses of water a day, the last thing we need is another piece of advice and another weekly chore in a lifestyle regime. Why bother exercising the Pelvic Floor muscles at all, they can't be seen and who the hell is going to benefit from all that work? Well if there is one thing that will benefit your sex life and continue a satisfying level of sensation during penetration and orgasm into your later years its the kegel exercise.

The PC Muscles form a figure of eight shape with one loop around the vagina and the other around the anus. These muscles tend to weaken with age (as all muscles do) and after childbirth when a considerable amount of pressure has been experienced on your pelvic area.

Every woman would benefit from kegel exercise and you don't need to don a lycra ensemble with designer trainers to work out, you can do them anywhere without anybody noticing. Use Funfactory Smartballs or Lelo Luna Beads at home for pleasurable kegel exercise or incorporate your pelvic squeeze into your sexual experience by making the point to tighten your muscles around your partners penis, your dildo or vibrator.

Here are some quick and easy 'anytime' pelvic floor exercisers, do them on the tube, bus or whilst driving to work they will pay dividends:

• Locate your PC Muscles by tightening your muscles as you would if you were holding on to a wee or wind. Try to tighten the length of your under carriage from anus to tip of the clitoris.


• Do a series of quick squeezes by clenching hard and releasing to the count of 3


• Follow this pattern of pelvic squeeze for a repeat of 10, focusing on feeling the anal sphincter really tighten.


• Slow down the pattern for a series of 5 long inhale/exhale clenches in time with a long breath, control the squeeze in both directions.


• Remember to actually push the muscles out when releasing the squeeze as if bearing down.


• Repeat this series of exercises every day on the way into and home from work and your orgasms will be stronger and penetration feel more pleasurable.

The benefits of Love Balls

It was the ancient Japanese who first used the Love Ball, small weighted balls designed to sit inside the vagina where they move & roll to give exquisite sensations.

Japanese women used to use their geisha balls whilst swinging in hammocks enjoying the erotic stimulation. We think they are amazing foreplay as love balls don't necessarily bring you to orgasm but thoroughly turn you on ready for the next round.

Gently rocking whilst the balls are inserted can be the best way to benefit from the pleasurable sensation the balls movement povides.

Lets not forget the health benefits of strengthening the pelvic floor also as tightening your vagina around the balls is amazing kegel exercise & will promote longer, stronger orgasms in the future.

We love Fun Factory's Smart Balls, they continue to be our best sellers & are a brilliant quality love ball with a smooth quiet motion (ready for the supermarket, hairdressers, gym!)
