More good stuff from Ellie….first she tells me about Happy Birthday singingand
The Panty-O
handwashing….and now, Kegel panties to improve your sex life….oh and yes, to help with childbirth recovery and incontinence:
“Okay – I swear I’m not kidding. The June issue of More magazine- page 23 – has an article about Kegel panties with an insert to squeeze. PantyO.com
I couldn’t make this up.
X e”
Ellie is not making it up. The O Panty has a one-inch cylinder exercise extension, snazzy panties, and the extension insert goes into the vagina, designed to provide a focus for Kegel exercises, the ones we are all supposed to do at traffic lights and such and generally don’t remember, until something like this comes along.
You squeeze with the same muscles you use to stop the flow of urination. Squeeze and hold. Several seconds. Wait. Repeat. Work up to sets of 25. Harder than you think. The cylinder gives a “focus” to squeeze on. Hmm. How much of this is gimmick?
I’m guessing well nigh on 95%, but that’s just me. Panties have red Swarovski crystals on them and a sleek(ish) design. PR obviously helps…The pantyO Original is temporarily out of stock, what with the More Magazine promotion.
But there’s a “basic” panty on offer and available.
Giving the whole thing an imprimatur of science, attached are two ten-minute talks on pelvic floor muscles and exercises by urologist Dr. Andrew Siegel. The Best part of those talks: I LISTENED SO YOU DON”T HAVE TO.
You’ve got lots of muscles down there gals, and they’ve got funny names. The levator ani is attached to the inner surface of the lesser pelvis and together with the coccygeus
The one-inch silicon extension in the Panty-O
muscle together form the pelvic diaphragm. And they do important things.
Hold stuff in, hold stuff up and keep everything working nicely the way it’s supposed to, all of it supporting and encouraging our most delicate parts to do their best work. In the words of the good Doctor: “use it or lose it.”
Kegeling as we speak…
