I have urinary and bowel incontinence, should i use diapers i cant control when i "go" thanks.
Yes diapers are very good to help with incontinence but i would also look into getting other type of products like briefs or disposable pads.
Incontinence pads can be used for many levels of incontinence:
Pads for light to moderate incontinence, Pads for moderate to severe incontinence includes larger shaped pads and all-in-One pads are also suitable for moderate to severe incontinence when ease of use is also important.
Everything above is good for on the move and at night but also look into mattress protectors etc.. for the night.
Hi, I’m very confused lately. It might be obsessive toughts due to a huge lack of confidence or self listening but 3 months ago while I was working, I started to ask myself a million of questions including questions about my sexual orientation. I dug in the past to find the answers and I just couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I did masturbate once in my life while I was thinking about a guy as far as I remember but it wasn’t sexual … it was some kind of challenge-fantasy towards the same sex … I have a girlfriend and I love her to death. I would never break her heart. I quit my job because everyday I would come in start looking at mens in a different way and even check them out. But when I have a good day and I keep myself busy, I don’t think about those things same when I’m with my gf … But lately, I would have weak orgasm … less libido … less confidence … I would find myself stupid to everything I do wrong … it’s unbelievable how low I am :s … I ordered those enlarge-your-penis-pills cuz I feel like I’m not horny enough. My head is a real mess. I’m curious, unsatisfied even tho I got the best I always deserved. I use to be 200pds and girls would push me away. My ex never gave me a lot of pleasure either so maybe I’m sexualy frustrated … I don’t know what’s going on anymore. I use to go to gay clubs with my gay and lesbian friends without being uncomfortable but now just being around my gay friend makes me feel like I need to think I’m gay too … Could it be just a phase ? I’m 21 and pre-matured so I think I’m having my period of questionning. HELP ! I have these weird questions lately uh … I hate hanging around guys …
-I often imagine myself doing it with a guy but I don’t know if I’d feel confortable doing it …
-I’m very paranoid in general
I honestly think you’re WAY too paranoid. If you read what you wrote, you will notice two things:
1) You keep questioning yourself when you know in your heart that you like women.
2) You feel sexually frustrated.
You know, when you fear something and keep questioning yourself about it, of COURSE you’re going to trick yourself into thinking that you’re something you’re not. You’re scared, honey. Don’t be. Look into your heart and be truthful with yourself. Put your fear aside and don’t let it rule you as it is doing now.
Oh and by the way, just because you look at guys and check them out does NOT necessarily mean you’re gay. hahaha Girls do that all the time to each other and it means nothing. It’s just appreciating someone’s beauty. =) This applies to you, I believe.
I haven’t masturbated ‘out of my will’ for months…I don’t watch porn (there’s no computer/tv in my new house)…I am not exposed to women that much…Yet, every day during sleep, I find myself with an ‘unbelievable’ erection that just will not go away! everyday! So at around 2-4 in the morning, I find myself masturbating just to get rid of this uncomfotrable erection.. It’s so weird because I don’t even feel orgasm, I don’t even think about sex, it’s just this erection that’s really annoying me everyday…Why is this happening, how do I avoid this??
Its called "morning wood". No i did not make that up, its natural for teens. Its not a sign of anything, it doesn’t mean that you need to rub one out whenever you have one or just spank the monkey more. its just caused by teenage pituitary hormones in the brain, it goes away eventually. your not alone at all dude
I’ve tried to research this on the internet as it’s meant to help with erections and premature ejaculation but nothing actually tells you what you have to do, could somebody please describe step by step?
Kegel is German and means "bowling pin" or "cone". It’s maybe a bit like bowling. Imagine pressing blood in your penis. These blood comes back to your body (we’ll the bowling ball doesn’t come back ^^) It’s difficult to explain how exactly to do it, many people just do it somehow. Yeah, it’s somehow like holding your pee, like you use "your penis’ muscles" although your penis has no muscles. But you "hold your pee" only for very short time and do it there for again and again. Try to hold your pee just while your peeing. Then you’ll know how to do it. That’s Kegeln.
I had a miscarriage at almost 12 weeks about 4 years ago. Ever since I’ve had trouble with incontinence, getting worse as time goes on. I asked my gyno and she said it should stop but I’m not sure. Can the incontinence be a result of the miscarriage? Is it something I should be worried about? I’m only 30 and don’t want to have to wear something every day in fear of having a leakage issue.
Not normally. You may be on medications that cause it. And yes, it should stop. also, pay attention to damaged or sore perineum, rectum or rectal muscles, but they will heal. If you mean bladder control, see UTI.
If you do kegel exercises soon enough, it can help you to prevent urinary incontinence or prepare for childbirth. Find out how you can do people kegel exercises correctly.
Kegel exercises can straighten the pelvic floor muscles, that support the uterus, bladder and bowel. If you perform kegel exercises on daily basis and keep your pelvic floor muscles well toned, you may reduce risks of incontinence and similar problems as you get older. Kegel exercises can help you control urinary incontinence.
Conditions that put stress on your pelvic floor muscles:
Aging
A chronic cough
Pregnancy
Childbirth
Predisposition to week connective tissue
Being overweight
the effects of pelvic organ prolapse may cause uncomfortable pelvic pressure to leakage of urine or feces. Fortunately, kegel exercises can straighten pelvic muscles and delay or prevent pelvic organ prolapse.
Kegel exercises may be helpful to women who have persistent problems reaching orgasm.
How to do kegel exercises
This is what you can do to learn how to contract and relax your pelvic muscles.
1. Find the right muscles
Try to stop the flow of urine while you’re going to the bathroom. If you succeeded then you have got the basic move. Or try another method: insert a finger inside your vagina and try to squeeze the surrounding muscles. You should feel how your vagina tightens and your pelvic floor move upward. Relax your muscles and feel your pelvic floor move down to the starting position. As your muscles become stronger you will get experienced with the exercises.
However, don’t make a habit of starting and stopping your urine Stream. Doing kegel exercises with a full bladder or while emptying your bladder can actually weaken the muscles. It can lead to incomplete emptying of the bladder, which can increase your risk of urinary tract infection.
If you have trouble finding the right muscles don’t be embarrassed to ask for help. Your doctor or other health care providers can get important information that you can learn to isolate and exercise that right muscles.
2. Improve your technique
Once you found your pelvic floor muscles, empty your bladder and sit down.
Step 1. Contract to your pelvic floor muscles
Step 2. Hold that contraction for 3 seconds then relax for 3 seconds.
Step 3. Repeat 10 to 15 times.
Step 4. Once you have improved the 3-second muscle contractions try to increase the time to 4 seconds, alternating muscle contractions with a 4 second rest period. After a while, increase to 5 seconds, repeating the same task.
Step 5. Work up to keeping the muscles contracted for 10 seconds at a time, relaxing for 10 seconds between contractions.
Focus on tightening only your pelvic floor muscle or isolating your pelvic floor muscle. Be careful not to flex the muscles in your abdomen. Just relax, and try not to hold your breath. Breathe freely and focus on tightening the muscles around your vagina and rectum.
3. Repeat 3 times a day.
You can perform a set of 5 to 10 kegel exercises three times a day. Exercises will get easier the more you do them.
When to expect results. If you do kegel exercises on daily basis, you can expect to see some results. You should get less frequent urine leakage within about 8 to 12 weeks. The improvement may be dramatic or, at least, you may keep your problems from worsening.
Do kegel exercises as much as possible to reap lifelong rewards.
Kegel Exercises Help Experience Better Sex, Fight Incontinence, and Have A Healthy Body
Kegel exercises are designed to tighten vaginal muscles. Many women and men do them to control incontinence. However, women also do them achieve greater performance and gratification during sexual intercourse. For women, orgasm often arises from the controlled movements of these muscles. Kegel exercises can also stimulate clitoral orgasm, which eludes many women.
Likewise, many women perform kegels after having babies because vaginal deliveries strain these muscles. Women also perform them while they are pregnant in order to condition their bodies for childbirth. For expectant mothers, kegels are widely known to ease discomfort during the later stages of pregnancy. Also, kegels greatly facilitate childbirth and hasten childbirth recovery.
Kegel exercises are not an alternative therapy, but are recommended by many gynecologists. In fact, many women first learn about kegels through their gynecologists, after they complain of bladder weakness or vaginal looseness.
Many women are confused about kegel exercises. They are not complicated, but consist of repeatedly tightening and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles surrounding the pelvic bone. In order to locate these muscles, women may first try to stop their urination midstream. If they find they can?t control the urinary stream, it is likely they have weak vaginal muscles.
Before women start their kegel exercises, it is recommended they empty their bladders for maximum comfort. Each exercise consists of contracting, holding, and releasing pelvic floor muscles. It is recommended women use resistance weight to produce stronger results. Resistance usually comes in the form of dumbbells or other weights that are placed on top of the pelvis during squeezing repetitions.
Kegelmaster, furthermore, is an example of a vaginal exerciser. It consists of a specially designed weight that is inserted into the vagina and pushes against vaginal muscles for strength-training. Many women report excellent results with Kegelmaster because it directly stretches vaginal muscles. They do not report any discomfort with the tool and claim it fits them naturally.
In actuality, women need to perform kegel exercises properly in order to see good results. In fact, doing them improperly may actually worsen their problems. One introductory kegel exercise is periodically stopping urinary flow to work vaginal muscles, though it is not advised to do this repeatedly. Women may also use vaginal weights, such as Ben Wa balls, that are inserted the into the vagina for squeezing. Moreover, women may simply insert a finger into their vaginas and squeeze their muscles tightly around the finger. Whatever the tactic, doctors advise women to do ten repetitions of kegels three times a day for best results. These exercises often become much easier as women continue to do them, which leads to greater sexual pleasure and bladder control.
Even women who report no sexual or continence problems can benefit from kegels. Doing these exercises will greatly help women prevent incontinence and bladder problems. Though women may not experience these problems now, it is likely they will in the future unless they build vaginal muscle.

Kegel exercises have been practiced by women for decades to help prevent and correct incontinence, improve the muscle tone of the vaginal opening, and improve their orgasmic response. Unfortunately somewhere along the way, the original way that Kegel exercises were to be performed got lost along the way. The original exercises used external resistance. The ones most women do have no external resistance. This is largely due to the fact that there is no resistance available in most cases.
The answer? Kegelmaster. The Kegelmaster offers varying degrees of resistance through a series of springs that help women strengthen the muscles within their vaginal region. The result is amazing and noticeable within weeks of daily using the Kegelmaster for just a few minutes a day.
Especially after the birth of a baby, many women begin to experience adverse effects such as incontinence, loss of sex drive, more difficult to achieve orgasms, and loss of muscle tone, resulting in a less tight vaginal opening. But even if you have never had a baby, age naturally starts to effect the vagina.
Basically, what I am saying is that every woman should owns and use a Kegelmaster.
* Improved sexual intimacy
By exercising the pubococcygeus muscles, the muscles become stronger and tighter. The result of this new found muscle tone is a tighter vaginal opening and more resultant friction during lovemaking. This improves the sexual stimulation of both partners.
The improved muscles tone also means better muscle control. Men whose partners have used the Kegelmaster report that they have been brought to orgasm by the simple act of their partners contracting and releasing their muscles around the penis.
* More intense orgasms
Most women never experience a vaginal orgasm. However, after the use of the Kegelmaster, many women have begun experiencing regular, intense, and multiple vaginal orgasms. As the exercise their pubococcygeus muscles, they are simply becoming more in tune with their vagina and are able to relax the into orgasmic stimulation during intercourse.
Some women begin experiencing what is referred to as ejaculatory orgasms, where they actually emit ejaculate with intense orgasms.
* Pre-intercourse workouts
Many women have discovered that if they use their Kegelmaster about 15 minutes prior to intercourse, that both they and their partner notice an even more satisfying love making experience. While the Kegelmaster is definitely not a sex toy, it can be used quite pleasurably during foreplay.
* Prevention and reversal of early onset prolapse
Uterine, bladder, vaginal, womb prolapse are serious physical conditions that can result in difficulty during intercourse, problems passing bowel movements, and urinary incontinence. These conditions were once thought to be repaired by surgery, but the Kegelmaster has helped many women prevent and reverse prolapse by regular, daily Kegel exercises. NOTE: It is important that you catch any prolapse early and begin Kegelmaster exercises immediately.
* Incontinence
Many women start to experience a form of incontinence that they often refer to as cough-pee incontinent during late term pregnancy. As subsequent children are born, the problem may worsen, but even if there is no problem in this area, future incontinence may be a serious problem.
Ladies, whether you are sexually active or not, young or old, have children or are childless, you can benefit from the Kegelmaster. It is a piece of exercise equipment that you definitely will love.
