Product Information

They attach to the coccyx at the base of the spine and to the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis, and like other muscles in the body they are made up of fast- and slow-twitch fibres,' she adds. 'This allows the pelvic floor to respond to different demands, for example increased pressure when coughing, and holding in a wee when we are not near a bathroom.' Kegel exercises explained Given the right tools, given the right education, given the right understanding of your body, and you can absolutely regain your life from this." It’s super easy, simply wash your dilator with warm water and mild soap. Pat dry and allow to fully air dry before storing. We recommend that you store your silicone dilator by wrapping it in a clean cotton cloth.

Unlike the wands that Bahlani had encountered before, Intimate Rose's doesn't look like an intimidating medical device. Not only that, but both sides are usable and it’s made of the same soft medical-grade silicone as the dilators. The wand can also empower a patient as they can reach trigger points themself, she noted. These silicone dilators were created by a pelvic physical therapist, and who better to design a product like this, right? As a clinician I saw a need for more comfortable tools to help empower women to manage these highly sensitive issues," Olson told Mashable on the creation of Intimate Rose. "I also wanted to create an environment where they felt supported and had access to educational services and resources to reach their goals." If you are confident that a pelvic floor trainer is the best route for you to take, try the following steps to get started: Choose the right pelvic floor trainer Electrical stimulation: These also include a probe with two metal pads. 'When the device is turned on the probe stimulates your pelvic floor to contract,' explains Bourne. 'This type of device is really for those who have little or no activation from consciously trying to do their pelvic floor contractions. It would be used in the short term to help a woman to connect and strengthen the muscles so she can then do them herself.'

Does a tiny bit of wee escape when you cough, giggle or run? If so, then you might have a weak pelvic floor, which could do with a bit of strengthening. And it's not just new mums who can find benefits from working their pelvic floor muscles – no matter what stage of life you're at, putting work into this area comes with big wins. That's when I found Dr. Sonia Bahlani, a pelvic pain specialist in New York City. In our consultation I received my diagnoses, several prescriptions — including for pelvic floor physical therapy — and a recommendation for Intimate Rose products. Not only that, but Bahlani gave me the assurance that my pain was real, and the hope that it's manageable. Bahlani wants those going through pelvic pain to know it's absolutely possible to manage. "Given the right tools, given the right education, given the right understanding of your body, and you can absolutely regain your life from this," she said. The beginning step in managing your pelvic pain is the most important, said Olson. "There is great hope, and though the recovery is not instantaneous, daily practice and small changes become big accomplishments over time," she said. What I noticed immediately is that the guide book uses gender neutral pronouns, which is a plus — not everyone with a vagina is a woman, thus not everyone who experiences pelvic pain is one, either. Not only that, but the products can be used for rectal pain as well.

Always consult with a qualified health pelvic health specialist before undertaking vaginal dilation therapy at home. Your healthcare provider will give you advice on the right dilator size for your body and how to safely use your dilator. Bahlani calls Intimate Rose's pelvic wand the highlight of their products. The wand is for targeting specific internal trigger points that may be hard to reach, as well as more superficial trigger points. Intimate Rose offers both a standard and vibrating pelvic wand. Most women will begin with the largest size silicone dilator that feels comfortable and gradually increase size over time. This allows you to gain confidence and helps to avoid painful intercourse.Does something feel amiss? 'If you cannot feel any contraction at all I do advise seeing a physiotherapist to confirm whether this is down to pelvic floor tension or not,' advises Bourne. 'If it is not a tension problem then a stimulation device could be helpful. There are lots of different settings depending on what symptoms you need help with.' The best pelvic floor trainers to shop now Unlike other conditions, Bahlani said, pelvic pain is more difficult to treat because more often than not, there are different pain generators (causes of the pain). "It’s not just, 'Here’s a pill and I’ll see you in six months,'" she said. She gave an example of pain being a result of something going on in the nerves in the vagina and something else with the pelvic floor. Your pelvic floor is formed of muscles and ligaments that support your bladder, vagina and bowel. 'It is made up of a number of little muscles that work together,' explains Clare Bourne, a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and founder of All About Mum, a series of webinars, ebooks and education cards to support women during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
