How Kegel8 Helped Alison Regain Confidence During Perimenopause

How Kegel8 Helped Alison Take Back Control During Perimenopause

After years of unexplained symptoms, my GP finally diagnosed me as perimenopausal. Along with the diagnosis, I was introduced to the Menopause Matters website and realised I was also dealing with vaginal atrophy, which my GP later confirmed. She suggested either HRT or a hormonal vaginal cream, as she felt they might help ease the vaginal atrophy that was contributing to my recurrent cystitis. Around the same time, I began experiencing severe pain during intercourse, which led me to use a lubricant for the first time in my life. While it did help, it didn't fully relieve the discomfort.

"Kegel8 has made such a huge difference to my life."

I had almost accepted that, along with hot flushes, PMS, insomnia, mood swings, and weight gain, I’d just have to live with these bladder and vaginal symptoms as part of menopause. Then, in April, I stumbled across Kegel8 while reading an article in The Guardian. A newly single, middle-aged woman shared her experience of using Kegel8, which had helped her enjoy sex more comfortably during menopause. Intrigued, I looked it up and, though skeptical about the cost, decided to give it a try in May.

The results have been nothing short of life-changing. With regular use, intercourse became comfortable again—just as it was before perimenopause. And as an unexpected bonus, my orgasms became noticeably more intense and longer-lasting, which has been a lovely surprise!

" My bladder symptoms are finally under control."

While my cystitis hasn’t completely disappeared, I now have many symptom-free days, and I’ve noticed that the more consistently I use the Kegel8, the fewer symptoms I experience. It’s truly changed my life. I only wish I’d known about it sooner and am puzzled why my urologist never suggested it. Now, I wholeheartedly recommend Kegel8 to anyone experiencing perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms.
