Some may not even think about them. But it\u2019s a very important muscle area that we all should keep in our minds. And better still exercise and strengthen them every day.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1350\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1350\" style=\"width: 112px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/elvie-pelvic-floor-fitness-tracker.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/elvie-1-206x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"112\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/elvie-1-206x300.jpg 206w, https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/elvie-1.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 112px) 100vw, 112px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elvie Pelvic Floor Fitness Tracker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Let\u2019s start of with what pelvic floor muscles do. Pelvic floor muscles supports a woman\u2019s bladder, uterus and bowel. Your pelvic floor muscles help you to control your bladder and bowel. They also assist in sexual function and enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p>The pelvic floor has layers of muscles which require exercise just like any other muscle. If we don\u2019t exercise them they will become weak. Unfortunately they also may become weak when pregnant and having children. Other reasons for weak pelvic floor muscles is being overweight, illness with coughing and of course not keeping them active and healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s think about your muscles and put them in your mindset. I <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-1348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/image.axd_-300x208.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"219\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/image.axd_-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/image.axd_.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/>suggest sitting down and squeeze and draw in the muscles, hold for a bit and let go. If you haven\u2019t exercised previously you may not be able to hold onto the clenched muscles for long but don\u2019t worry with practice you will.<\/p>\n<p>A pretty simple and known way to practice using your muscles is when you go to the toilet. When you start to pee stop mid-stream and then start again by using your muscles. Doesn\u2019t sound too hard does it and it\u2019s a good place to start practising.<\/p>\n<p>I was talking about your mindset and this is quite important as once you have done this the exercising will come very naturally to you.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1352\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1352\" style=\"width: 137px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\" https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/lelo-luna-beads.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/photo1255654680-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"137\" height=\"137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/photo1255654680-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/photo1255654680-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/photo1255654680.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 137px) 100vw, 137px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lelo Luna Beads<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another quick, easy and simple way to remember to exercise is think about a particular time of day that you do something repetitively. Now at that time do some clenching and squeezing of your muscles.<\/p>\n<p>I do mine whenever I get a red light whilst I\u2019m in the car, it\u2019s easy to remember. Washing the dishes, waiting for your coffee or having a shower any of these can be your trigger point to clench those muscles.<\/p>\n<p>Of course there are other alternatives to this as well with adult toys. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/kegel-exercise.htm\">Pelvic floor\/Kegel exercise<\/a> devices that can assist you with remembering to do them as well as making your exercise regime a little more fun.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1351\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1351\" style=\"width: 188px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/fantasy-for-her-kegel-train-her-set.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/fantasy-for-her-kegel-train-her-set-with-box-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"188\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/fantasy-for-her-kegel-train-her-set-with-box-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/fantasy-for-her-kegel-train-her-set-with-box-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/fantasy-for-her-kegel-train-her-set-with-box-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/fantasy-for-her-kegel-train-her-set-with-box.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1351\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fantasy for Her Kegel Train Her Set<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the main aims with the assistance of an exerciser is that because you have inserted something inside of your body you\u2019re going to be aware of it.
