What else can I do to help my pelvic floor?
Your pelvic floor muscles do a lot for you; they supports all of your pelvic organs, they help stabilise and support your spine, they help guide your baby during childbirth, they even contribute to your relationship by being responsible for intimate sensation for women and erectile function for men. So isn’t it time you gave these muscles a little TLC?
The 4 best kept secrets to a strong and healthy pelvic floor
Posture: a slumped posture increases the downward pressure on your pelvic floor which could lead to pelvic floor weakness. When standing, it’s important to balance your weight evenly, relax your shoulders back and down, and maintain a normal lower back inward curve. When sitting, remember ‘bum at the back of your chair’; lengthen your spine and again, maintain that natural inward curve at your lower spine.
The sunshine vitamin: Vitamin D3 has been clinically proven to benefit your pelvic floor muscles. Studies have shown that those with low vitamin D levels, report at least one sign of pelvic floor weakness… regardless of age! As an involuntary muscle group, your pelvic floor muscles can begin to weaken from just 18 years old. The next best thing to potentially harmful UV rays is our carefully sourced SunVit-D3 – Find out more >
Watch your weight: you can avoid heavy lifting and carrying but if the weight is on you there’s very little choice. Quoted from a Kegel8 review featured in The Daily Mail:
“Fat can infiltrate muscles, weakening them. Just a 10% weight loss can reduce this muscle weakness by as much as 50%”
Dr Mark Slack - Consultant Urogynaecologist from Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.
So let’s swap that digestive for an apple!
Avoid constipation: if you suffer with constipation this is the last thing you want to hear; you’re not in control of constipation after all! Well actually… there are a number of diet changes you can make to help ease constipation; check your intake of fibre, drink plenty of water and eat lots of fruit and veg. We also highly recommend the Squatty Potty toilet stool – our bodies are designed by nature to dispose of waste more easily when in a squat position and Squatty Potty will achieve just that!

Comes complete with an easy exercise plan, created by Amanda Savage, to get results in 12 weeks!
The included exercise plan designed to promote more effective pelvic floor exercises not only ensures the efficacy of Kegels when using the device, it actively encourages the user to practise contracting their muscles alongside the machine, which prepares them for ‘real life’ scenarios when they don’t have access to the machine. In addition, by training the brain to correctly identify the location of the pelvic floor muscles, it will improve the user’s ability to perform independent pelvic floor exercises and help them to ‘hold’ a contraction. This ensures more effective pelvic floor exercise, whether training with or without the device.
It is thought that many women push downwards during independent pelvic floor exercises, which, rather than strengthening the muscles, can lead to further damage. In addition, it can be difficult to locate and target the correct muscles, making exercise less effective. The Kegel8 Ultra 20 V2 Electronic Pelvic Toner removes the guesswork and essentially acts as a Sat-Nav for your pelvic floor muscles, correctly targeting and stimulating a contraction within them using a small electric current. These contractions not only build strength and tone in a matter of weeks, but they also calm the nerves that are responsible for a sensitive bladder! With 20 clinically proven pelvic floor exercise programmes which vary in frequency, intensity and duration, the Ultra 20 is proven to treat a variety of different conditions, including bladder weakness and sensitivity, lack of intimate sensation, pelvic organ prolapses, pelvic pain and more. And, in addition to tailored programmes, the specific condition guides created by Amanda Savage advise exactly how the device should be used to ensure optimum results.
