The non-porous surface ensures bacteria and germs do not penetrate the surface, nor will it harbour such germs, this makes it a completely safe and body-friendly device.

How Do You Use a Vaginal Dumbbell for Pelvic Floor Strengthening?

The pubococcygeus muscle is one of several pelvic floor muscles and is particularly important as it is the muscle responsible for bladder control and intimate sensation. The pubococcygeus attaches to the front of the pubic bone and connects all the way under your groin around to the anus. This muscle is also responsible for holding your pelvic organs in place. Should it weaken severely, pelvic organ prolapse is a very real possibility.

When you contract the pubococcygeus muscle it should be felt in the clitoris, vagina, and anus. To strengthen your pelvic floor using a vaginal barbell you simply insert the device as deep as is comfortable and engage the intimate muscles to hold it in place. The weight of the Kegel8® Barbell Pelvic Floor Exerciser means your pubococcygeus muscle has to work harder to keep it secure in the vagina, thus the muscle is strengthened; it is just like a gym workout for your vaginal muscles.

The top half is hourglass-shaped to provide some help in keeping it in place, with the other half being straight with just a small bulb at the end, ideal for trigger point massage OR for a more challenging workout.

Using the Vaginal Barbell for a Tight Pelvic Floor

If you suffer from pelvic floor pain, you may well have a tight pelvic floor. A tight pelvic floor – also known as a hypertonic pelvic floor – can manifest itself for many reasons. It could be following pelvic surgery, an accident, treatment for pelvic cancers or over-exercising the pelvic floor muscles. With the Kegel8® Barbell Pelvic Floor Exerciser, you can easily locate tension points and release the muscles by way of myofascial release. By releasing the fascia (the tissues around the muscles) your range of movement in the muscles is returned and pelvic pain disappears, without the need for drugs or expensive treatments; you can do all this yourself, in the comfort of your own home.

The vaginal barbell is 16.5cm in length which means it is long enough to reach trigger points both inside and outside the vagina - on the perineum, for example. Its solid structure means it will never bend or flex, once you have found the trigger point you need to massage it will work with you to help you find relief.

For trigger point massage, clinicians often use a massage wand and many also like to use vaginal dumbbells or barbells such as this. It can be warmed or cooled. Warmth helps to relax the pelvic floor muscles and improve circulation and cooling can help with discomfort caused by piles or vaginal atrophy. Pelvic pain massage points are just inside the vagina, and easily reached by the Kegel8® Barbell Pelvic Floor Exerciser.
