Girl Talk: How To Tighten Your Vagina Muscles

Before you roll your eyes and think that “this website has gone too far”, please know that there are legit health reasons why one could be interested in tighter vaginal muscles.

The pelvic floor muscles, including the muscles in your vagina, can become a bit weak right after you give birth, after experiencing significant stress or surgery, or when your body starts to age – and it’s simply an uncomfortable thing that is easy to treat.

Is there a shame in treating health conditions?

I don’t think so.

Strong and healthy pelvic floor muscles can also prevent vaginal prolapse (an uncomfortable condition that sometimes happens) and incontinence.

They’re also important for safe childbirth and quick recovery after it.

Last but not least, healthy and strong vaginal muscles can be wonderful for your love life.

This is why I felt this article could be beneficial for so many women and decided to open this topic.

In today’s girl talk, let’s chat about how to tighten your vagina so you can feel your best.

How To Tighten Your Vagina Muscles With Kegel Exercises

When someone has a problem with pelvic floor strength, Kegel exercises (pronounced ‘Key-gul’) exercises are generally recommended as a first treatment option.

Here’s a bit of history.

Kegel exercises were not a thing at all until 1948 when Dr.

Arnold Kegel, a gynecologist/obstetrician in the United States, printed his conclusion and results of a study spanning 18 years.

The study was on the advantages of doing pelvic floor muscles exercises (we don’t know why he started doing this study, but we thank him for it).

His findings have gained widespread acceptance from the medical community because of the medical benefits. But it has also been accepted by more people, and it quickly became popular around the world.

What are Kegel exercises?

Kegel exercises are exercises that aim is to make your pelvic muscles stronger and tighter.

These pelvic floor muscles surround the urethra and vagina, and it supports your bladder.

It is basically a protective muscle layer for your bottom part.

Okay?

But Why Is This A Thing?

Kegel exercises are a thing because of the benefits it brings to people everywhere, especially women.

Having a strong pelvic floor is especially important for preventing various kinds of incontinence.

And hey, don’t think that incontinence comes at old age only – it can happen to women at any age.

You might need Kegel exercises if:

• Some drops of urine trickle out while you’re laughing, sneezing, or coughing (defined as stress incontinence);
• If you have a sudden and unexpected need to go and urinate before giving in to the urge to urinate (defined as urinary urge incontinence);
• Or if you discharge stool (defined as fecal incontinence).

Kegels also help in avoiding damage to the uterus, bladder, and bowels, important areas during delivery.

They can assist in delaying and preventing pelvic organ prolapse (sticking out of the pelvic organs into or through the vaginal canal) and many similar symptoms.

Who can benefit from doing Kegel exercises?

Now that you know the medical reasons to practice Kegels, please don’t get a misconception that people who can benefit from Kegel exercises are only older women, pregnant women, or postpartum women.

The truth is – all women can benefit from Kegel exercises.

Not just incontinence – wise, but in the matters of a happy vagina and better sex life.

Exercising the pelvic muscles, especially one which is called the pubococcygeus ( PC) muscles, makes your vagina tighter and leads to better orgasms because your sturdy muscles contract more strongly, and harder contractions mean more intense sensations.

The TL;DR?

Kegel exercises make your vagina tighter and benefit you sexually.

When women do Kegel exercises and reinforce the pelvic floor muscles, both she and the man can feel the fantastic effects.

You can even do Kegel exercises while orgasming.

It can greatly enhance the feeling, and men generally love that.

Wow!

That’s great!

How do I sign up?

The first thing you need to do to carry out Kegel exercises is to identify what and where exactly the pelvic floor is, and then learn to flex them.

There are two ways to identify these muscles:

• The most common way to isolate and find pelvic muscle is to get over the toilet, start to pee, then stop in the middle.

  The reason we said do it standing is that it is easier to get exactly where the pelvic floor is when you are standing than when you’re sitting down.

  If the pee stops, you have identified the muscles.

  Stay the contraction for 3 seconds, relax and allow the urine to flow. Do this just 1 time though since it’s not healthy to frequently stop urine when you’re urinating.

• A different way to recognize your Kegel muscles is to put in two fingers (usually the first two) inside the vagina then squeeze your pelvic muscles, the way you do when you hold in urine.

  You ought to feel your pelvic floor moving upwards and your vagina tightening.

  Then relax the muscles, and the pelvic floor returns to the normal position.

If you are not sure whether you are doing it properly, you can work with your gynecologist to find out.

Don’t worry.

It’s totally normal for them to get this question.

Once you have identified the muscles, the good thing is that you can practice Kegel exercises anywhere.

Anywhere at all, and no one has to know.

At the gas station, during a Disney+ Hotstar spree, while driving, working at your desk, and so on.

I do them while working on my computer.

How To Tighten Your Vagina… By Doing Kegels At Your Desk

We’re busy women, I know. “There’s never enough time for a regular workout and you want me to exercise my vagina? Na-uh.”

The thing is, it is very easy to do Kegel exercises at your desk. It’s super fast too.

Here is how to go about it.

• With your back straight as a board, sit on the edge of your office chair.

  Make sure your knees are aligned with your hips and your heels are well on the ground, firmly planted.

• Try to contract your pelvic floor by the steps we have already outlined above.

  If you are confused, imagine that you are trying to hold yourself and prevent passing gas.

  This movement provokes the activation of the muscles in your pelvic floor and vagina.

• Remember not to use too much force when doing it.

  Feel the movement in the vagina during contraction and relaxation, that’s all you need.

• Contract for 5 seconds and rest for 5 seconds, repeat 10 times. 
• Do this 3 times a day, no more no less.

  Aim for 10 to 15 repetitions a day.

  This is very easy. 10 repetitions in the morning, each 5 seconds long, with 5 seconds break.

  Same after lunch.

  Same after dinner.

How To Tighten Your Vagina Safely

There are certainly no disadvantages to doing Kegel exercises, which is more than you can say for a lot of things in this cruel world.

Studies have shown marked improvement in pelvic floor strength after six months of Kegel exercising, so be consistent and work at it.

You just need six months.

Before starting my own Kegels journey, I have scoured the internet for potential safety information regarding this technique.

The only thing I’ve found is that you should not overkill it.

That is, don’t do these exercises 20 times a day because your pelvic floor muscles can get a bit tired and painful.

That’s totally unnecessary.

If you want faster results, I will show you a safe alternative in the next section.

However, please note that these exercises may not be for everyone.

This is because they have not been tailored to the needs of individual people.

I recommend that you know your pelvic health before performing these exercises and since we should all consult our doctors before beginning any exercise routine – make sure to ask before starting Kegels too.

It never hurts to ask.

Also, if you feel pain at any point when doing these exercises, stop and consult your physician.

If your physician okays Kegels for you, go ahead and enjoy tightening your vagina!

How To Tighten Your Vagina Faster With Kegel Balls

There is even equipment you can use to do Kegel exercises, just like weights for your biceps.

These are Kegel balls, which are inserted into your vagina, and then you use your pelvic floor muscles to stop them from falling out.

Please note – these are not sex toys!

These are for a healthy vagina.

The reason why you would try these instead of simply doing the exercises is because 15 minutes of work with these balls replace 100 Kegel exercises you would do on your own.

The set comes with 6 different weights – always start with the lowest.

Pear Drops – Deluxe Kegel Weighted Exercise Balls

These balls can help you to tighten your vagina muscles, stop incontinence leaks, and help you to prepare for pregnancy.

Some people say that strengthening pelvic floor muscles has helped them to get rid of lower back pain too – and I believe them because having a weak or unstable pelvic floor can cause an unnecessary strain on the whole pelvis.

Pear drops are also hypoallergenic and doctor-approved for use.

One last thing to know before you go

When I first thought of this topic – how to tighten your vagina – I thought that maybe this topic is a bit too much. Why?

Because many people will instantly think that it’s a sex article.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with sex, and there’s nothing wrong with wanting to make it even more pleasurable.

But it actually scares me that so many people will miss the opportunity to have a stronger pelvic floor (and better health!) just because the headline contains the word “vagina”.

We should really love our vaginas more.

They’re not just things to have sex with.

They have so many more important functions.

I hope you enjoyed this article (you can vote on it below) and if you did – go have a great workout sesh!

Your vagina and pelvic floor will thank you (plus you’ll make Mr.

Kegel proud).
