Melp Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Ooooh Jules you might know the answer to this. Do electronic pelvic floor exercisers work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kats inc Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I've not seen them Mel to be honest,I'll ask the midwife as hopefully I'll see her tomorrow.The cone insert things ( ) are supposed to be very effective though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffymonkey Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 *snnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnort* I've laughed so much that my boss sneakily came to see what I was sniggering about and caught me with the mooncups page up... Oh. My. God. Though sniggering and blushes aside, it *is* interesting stuff, and something I've wondered about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kats inc Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Ooooh Jules you might know the answer to this. Do electronic pelvic floor exercisers work? ooops I've just got a mental image now of it being like one of those tummy things that make you twitch and contract ooooer Could be amusing and quite fun Worth a try just to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luann71 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 they sell them on ebay (new i hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melp Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Thats exactly what they're like Jules, only not fun It's a small plastic and metal whatsername that sits up your flue and makes it twitch. I've got one and it really does make your pelvic muscles contract [you have different settings and work up to the highest over a period of months] but I was wondering if they actually do any good long term or of they only appear to be working at the time cos your fannys is throbbing They're not painful but not exactly pleasant either [and you can't sit down properly while it's in] I started to use mine then got bored. If they work I really need to start it up again or face a lifetime of tena lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebe Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 And it said something about pricking it with a pin if there's too much suction and you can't get it out! I'm not putting a pin anywhere near my delicate bits ! Thats what I told my ex-Husband last time I saw him nekkid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I used a TENS in labour and I would imagine that would seriously ow me chuff. Especially if you didn't think to check the setting before insertion. Flippin' heck. Now I'm disappointed you said they weren't fun. I imagine a twitchy flue would be quite a lot of fun, but not now I'm mentally linking it with TENS machines.
