Just a year ago, if you asked me to write a blog post on Kegel exercises, I’d be like what the heck are Kegels?! And if you told me, I’d have stared at you like you were a cockroach and turned my back on you. Hahahaha because that’s how much of a prude I am.

But today I not only know what Kegels are, but am acutely aware of their importance and regret being so ignorant and prudish about them.  This post is to educate and hopefully there will be less people like me one year ago. Lol.

I learned what Kegels are during my prenatal exercise classes.  When I was pregnant, my doctor told me I needed to exercise or else I’d have a hell of a time giving birth.  So ok lo I signed up for classes.  I tried a whole bunch of classes – pregnancy yoga, pilates, fitball, etc and they all had one thing in common: at the end of every class, the instructors would dedicate at least a few minutes to doing Kegels.

Kegel exercises are when you do the action of stopping your pee midstream (note: do NOT stop your pee midstream ah not only is it damn painful, it’s also bad for your kidneys). To do the Kegels, you need to hold the pee , let go, hold and let go repeatedly.  Those muscles you use are the pelvic floor muscles.

When you’re pregnant, it’s very important to have strong PFM because those are the muscles that hold your baby/uterus in place.  And during childbirth, these are the muscles that will push the baby out.  The weaker the muscles, the harder your childbirth.

Likewise, the pelvic floor also holds the bladder.  During pregnancy, your uterus, heavy with the baby, may press on the bladder and the pelvic floor is responsible for holding your pee so you don’t accidentally pee when you cough/laugh/sneeze.  This is what nearly happened to me la ok late in my pregnancy I was hyper aware and squeezed my muscles whenever I sneezed cos if not I think I would have peed my pants lolol.

It’s recommended to do Kegels every day, not just if you’re pregnant but for all women. Cos it tones your muscles, your bedroom life will only get better lol.  I did my Kegels whenever I remembered which is not every day to be honest.  Guess that’s why I always felt like I was gonna pee my pants hahaha. T_____T

Seriously you can do it anywhere, anytime but sometimes it’s not so effective if people like me still forget. >___>  Or worse, you think you’re doing Kegels but actually you’re working the wrong muscle. (Some people may get confused between their butt and vajayjay muscles)

To prevent your effort going down the drain, this is the answer! *ahem*

Bioinfinity’s Vibrance Kegel Device.

I promise you it’s not what it looks like. Lol.

Or is it?

What’s in the box?

This.  Again I promise you it’s not what it looks like.

It uhh vibrates but it’s not a vibrator. -_-  This is the Kegel device itself.

The rubbery sheaths I marked 1, 2 and 3 in the earlier pic are for resistance training.  You start with the sheath 1 and slip it onto the device.  Sheath 1 is the easiest resistance (easiest for your muscles to squeeze), but if you’re scared you’re very weak, you can start with no sheath at first.  Sheath 2 is harder and if you can do Sheath 3, you’re a Kegel goddess.

Get into position of a crunch and just insert it.  If you’re squeezing correctly, the device will vibrate.

I started with no sheath cos I have no confidence lolol.  But I guess my on off Kegel practice did me some good cos it was super easy so I put on the rubber sheath the next time.

As soon as you feel you’ve mastered one level, you can move up.

I did 24 sets (recommended) of holding for 5 seconds then letting go for 5 seconds (for stamina) then 24 sets of holding 2 seconds and resting 2 seconds.

Total time is 288 seconds which is less than 5 minutes.  Don’t say no time to do!

If you lose count, you can opt to turn on the sound by clicking the button under the device.  The device will sound every time you need to squeeze and go silent when it’s time to relax.  It’ll take you through the recommended 48 sets as above so you can just chill and follow the sound, don’t need to worry and keep track. ^^

The device and sheaths are made of medical grade silicon and was developed for real medical issues so it is totally safe for use.

I actually participated in the 14 Day #MyVibrance Challenge and used the VKD for 14 days straight!

In the beginning it was easy peasy but every time I switched to a new sheath it was harder to squeeze.  And my vibration would become a bit shaky lolol.  So I knew my muscle was not that strong and I could rely on the vibration to tell me how I was doing.

I could really feel my muscles working hard!  Cannot even see the muscle from outside but can feel tired after a while!  Even my back muscles got tired because the pelvic floor is connected to your back and ab muscles.

Another good thing besides having a healthy vajayjay is that Kegels also help you to tone your midsection muscles since it’s all connected.  Hello stronger and slimmer waist!

Two weeks later, I feel that my posture has improved!  I always hunch but now my muscles are stronger I don’t hunch so much.  Plus I carry Fighter around so much and expected back pains but have none so far.

The VKD is clinically proven to be more effective than just doing Kegels on your own — for me, the VKD is not just a visual reminder to do my Kegels, it’s a great way to ensure I’m doing it right. 🙂

Luckily I found this product at the best time – immediately after having a baby. 🙂
