In today’s Sun newspaper broke the news of Russian gymnast Tatyana Kozhevnikova with the headline ‘Meet the woman with the world's strongest vagina!’ We know it's not her vagina, but her pelvic floor muscles that are key to her special talent...

This week we’re spreading the power of Kegel8-ing even further across the globe by exhibiting at Arab Health Exhibition and Congress in Dubai.

Find out about the biggest healthcare exhibition in the Middle East and see some pictures of our gorgeous stand.

What started as a film exploring the experiences of pregnant women in Kenya rapidly became a historical journey into the shocking cruelty suffered by some Irish women during childbirth in the 1950's and 1960's.

Symphysiotomies involved breaking the woman’s pelvis during childbirth - using a hacksaw. This break would enable the pelvis to be stretched wider - with disastrous consequences for the mothers. Survivors of Symphysiotomy (SOS) are a group of women campaigning for recognition of their suffering and disability through this procedure - they live in constant pain, walk with a permanent limp, suffer chronic back pain and incontinence.

'Dry January' is your chance to feel better, save money and make a difference to your pelvic floor too. That’s right - laying off the booze (at least for January) will not only help reduce your waistline and save you pennies – but also help your pelvic floor too.

The 'Dry January' campaign is being run by Alcohol Concern urging drinkers to shun 'loopy juice' and Kegel8 is here to remind you that alcohol really affects your pelvic floor too, much more than you think....

Today has been a busy day in the Kegel8 office – we have been preparing for Funny Women in Richmond, London on Friday.

Funny Women is a business which helps new women to break into the comedy scene and to help women find their voice. Kegel8 are a proud sponsor because we all love to laugh, but that's no good if you suffer 'laughter leaks' because of a weak pelvic floor!

Only in America...

We can't recommend these kegel exercise panties because no-one wanted to try them!  However we thought they were certainly worth a mention!

Marisa Peer is named as 'Best Therapist' for Men's Health Magazine and is a specialist advisor for The Sunday People Health section. Marisa trained in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy in London and America and practices in both countries. She initially specialised in eating disorders and weight related problems and she also works in television on Supersize vs Superskinny and Celebrity Fit Club. Marisa answers one readers worries about lack of intimate sensation and light bladder weakness.

Trick or Treat? Someone tell that girl that wetting yourself on TV when you laugh is not 'normal' and actually it’s a sign of a weak pelvic floor. Of course wetting yourself when you laugh also means less intimate sensation too (both for the woman and her partner) - so that’s certainly not glamorous. We've tweeted Nicola and offered her a Kegel8 Ultra so she can get back in shape and control her light adult incontinence then she can be as 'tight and toned' inside as she looks outside!

Pure, White and Deadly by Professor John Yudkin arrived through my door, demand was so great that publishers bought it back into print after the recent BBC programme 'The Men Who Made Us Fat'.  I've been engrossed in the book for a few days now and the epidemic that John Yudkin predicted back in 1976 seems to be upon us. Surely sugar can't be that dangerous? Read how sugar not only contributes to facial wrinkles it also wrinkles and weakens your pelvic floor too...

Dear Justine,

 First of all I must congratulate you for tackling such a taboo subject as incontinence as you did in the piece that appeared yesterday.   

This really is the last taboo Justine, and we here at Kegel8 try to do our best to educate and inform women of options and to try to instil in them that like brushing your teeth, pelvic floor exercises are a vital part of looking after your body and need to be done daily. (Read in full)
