2020 may have been the year of lock down, but that doesn’t mean women have neglected their workout routines, at least when it comes to their lady bits. Working on your pelvic floor muscles has become popular and its popularity is spreading due to the benefits. There are products and exercise plans to get you having more intense orgasms, increased arousal and even to help with incontinence. So, which one is right for you? We have some key points for each one to help you decide.

Yoni Eggs

Yoni, or Jade Eggs are egg shaped gemstones that gained popularity back in 2017 when Gwyneth Paltrow posted about them on her website Goop. To use a yoni egg you simply insert the egg into your vagina for anywhere form 5 minutes to learning to sleep with it in. The belief is that, once vaginally inserted, the body is able to harness the energy intrinsic to the stone. Additionally, because the body must grip the egg to keep it inside the vagina yoni eggs also strengthens vaginal muscles. Yoni eggs have no scientific backing for any of the proposed benefits. However, some long time users have reported issues from prolonged pelvic floor tension caused by using them, such as constipation, pelvic and lower back pain, as well as muscles spasms.

Kegel Balls

Kegel, or Ben Wa Balls have been used to strengthen vaginal and pelvic muscles for centuries. They are small weighted balls inserted into the vagina just like yoni eggs. You start by using kegel balls for a few minutes each day, then increasing for longer intervals as you get stronger. While better sex is a noted benefit of using kegel balls doctors also suggest that kegel balls can help with pregnancy recovery and urinary incontinence.

Coregasms

A coregasm is an orgasm that happens while you’re doing a core exercise or workout. When you engage your muscles to stabilize your core, you may also end up contracting the pelvic floor muscles that can be essential to achieving orgasm. Scientists noted these exercise-induced orgasms in both men and women back in the 1950’s. There are certain exercises associated with coregasms. Most of the exercises involve working the core, especially the lower abdominals in crunches, hip thrusts, and plank variations. Coregasms have also been associated with biking, spinning, and running. Not only do coregasms have the benefits of strengthening your pelvic floor you’re also more likely to feel more sexually desirable, energetic, and aroused after exercising especially if your work out includes a coregasm.
