The Dribble (Blogs are so boring)

As some of you may know June is Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) awareness month. Pelvic organ prolapse is common affecting a staggering 50% of women. Statistics from Women's Health matters show that 68% of women who have been diagnosed with POP have also been diagnosed with anxiety and 64% with depression.

Finding and activating your pelvic floor muscles is essential to performing Kegels correctly. We will go through this in detail and have you a Kegel Queen by the end!

Kegel exercises are fabulous for strengthening and tightening the pelvic floor, but only if you actually remember to do them! Marrying up doing your kegel exercises with something else you already do every day is the ideal way to ensure you keep on track with doing your daily kegels.

We wanted to use today's blog to go back to basics and talk about the pelvic floor, kegel exercises and how the Secret Whispers Kegel Weights could change your life. If you’ve been on the fence about investing in yourself with a set of our kegel weights, then this is the blog for you, so sit back and read on about (almost) everything you want to know about your pelvic floor and kegels.

I bet you had to read that heading a few times. When this woman told me THAT THIS was what her doctor had said to her, I was shocked and very outraged.

"It’s become apparent over the last few days that I potentially have a type of prolapse happening and am generally feeling quite unwell and uncomfortable.
A call to the doctor included this comment “if your vagina falls out, don’t worry it’s like a child’s stress toy, just pop it back in”

It was meant as help..it was a lady doctor and she was really nice about it but it entered me into a rabbit hole of research and realising how common prolapses are and how little is being done about them...lots of women are just living with it. Ladies...if you take anything from this post DO YOUR PELVIC FLOOR EXERCISES EVERY DAY! RIGHT NOW..._DO THEM RIGHT NOW! ”

A prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles are weakened and the pelvic organs can bulge (prolapse) from their natural position into the vagina. Sometimes the prolapse can be so severe that it can protrude from the vagina. Personally I can’t imagine how scary this must feel to literally have your insides falling out. This is the reality for many women, though the majority will only suffer a partial prolapse.

Thank you for all your support! Have you ever had one of those crazy weeks when there was just way, way too much to do and still only 24 hours in e...
