It was filled with beautiful music including the haunting Moon Over Ruined Castle, arranged by Kazuko Okamoto and based on a traditional Japanese tune honoring the cherry blossoms; original composition Nocturnal Fantasy by Emily Li, based on the Chinese poem "Night Thoughts," written in the Tang Dynasty by Li Bai; and the ever popular When You Wish Upon A Star by Ned Washington and Leigh Harline. The full repertoire can be seen here.

Today's sky chart at top shows the constellations of the Zodiac that are up after nightfall on these October evenings. In a separate chart to the right, we show the positions of the zodiacal constellations Aquarius and Pisces relative to the Great Square of Pegasus. We got this question: I'm having a difficult time being able to recognize the constellations of the Zodiac … do you have any advice?
Yes … we can recommend a few things.
First, the zodiacal constellations provide the backdrop for the pathway of the sun around our sky each year, and of the moon for every month. Since the sun's path lies within these constellations, you know you can look for them along the approximate path that the sun follows during the day – from east to west across the sky.
Second, be mindful of the moon's place in the sky, because it passes in front of each constellation of the Zodiac for a few days each month. For instance, on October 11, 2014, the waning gibbous moon is rising around mid-evening, shining near the star Aldebaran, the constellation Taurus the bull's brightest star.
Third, as the years go by, pay special attention to the planet Jupiter, the fourth-brightest heavenly body to light up the sky. This dazzling world will come up over the eastern horizon an hour or two after midnight at mid-northern latitudes. It is often called the year star because this planet stays in the same constellation of the Zodiac for approximately one year. At present, Jupiter is shining in front of the constellation Cancer, near the border of the constellations Cancer and Leo. In fact, Jupiter is not all that far away from Regulus, the constellation Leo's brightest star. By watching Jupiter from year to year, you can pick out the various zodiacal constellations.
Rising time of the moon and Jupiter in your sky
Also, how dark is your night sky? If you're looking from the city or suburbs, you might not be able to pick out these patterns in the sky. After all, these patterns were identified by people who didn't have electric lights!
Do you have a good star chart? There are wonderful sky charts on the market today. You might try looking at the shop pages of Sky and Telescope magazine. For constellations, we recommend this simple constellation chart. Just be sure you find something that specifically refers to constellations and not just stars, if that's what you're after. Some charts are designed more for people with telescopes, but there are also good books and charts aimed at beginners.
Once you begin to learn the constellations, one will lead to another. For example, you can use the signpost Summer Triangle, which is high in the south to overhead at nightfall on October evenings, to find constellations of the Zodiac. As seen from the Northern Hemisphere, the ecliptic swings way below the Summer Triangle. An imaginary line drawn from the bright star Vega through the star Altair points in the general direction of Sagittarius, and a line drawn from Deneb through Altair escorts you to Capricornus.
As seen from the Southern Hemisphere, these same constellations of the Zodiac – Sagittarius and Capricornus – appear high in the sky instead of close to the horizon. As darkness falls, the Summer Triangle asterism appears "upside down" and low in the north to northwest sky.
A good constellation chart will also help you find the Great Square of Pegasus asterism, found in the east to southeast sky on these October evenings. The Great Square can help guide you to the zodiacal constellations Aquarius and Pisces, as shown on the sky chart at the top of this post.
Bottom line: The constellations of the Zodiac follow the sun's yearly path across the sky. They provide a backdrop to the sun throughout the year and the moon throughout the month. As seen from the Northern Hemisphere on October evenings, the constellations of the Zodiac sit rather low in the south, swinging from east to west across the evening sky.

Glad to see Rockingham have a good turn out!
As far a modern amenities etc..Rockingham is only 15 miles from Pinehurst area….a golf tradition..who has US Open at times at the famed Pinehurst no 2 course!
Infact a couple of years ago they had a LPGA event that had a total over the 4 days a count of close to 1/2 million people..never heard the Golf fans complain about lacking of amenities…it is a great area…
Thus the Rockingham area has plenty of the things you need to have a Nascar race!
Hope they will get a Sprint Cup race back…if they had this good of draw for a truck race..then a Sprint race would probably bring a sellout…something they havent had in a while!
Kudos to Andy Hillenburg and staff..

This. In T4/badge gear at 72 I've cleared the first 5 instances, mostly with people in similar gear and at similar levels. This includes Ahn'kahet and Drak, which are mid-70s. In 9 runs I've died twice. We've never used CC.
Yes, it's easy. Might be harder for new 70s coming straight from Outland with a mix of blues and greens of course. And that's the problem - Anyone who started playing around TBC ship or before has probbably been 70 for a long time and has a ton of gear. It's hard to balance encounters for us and for newly minted 68s or 70s who never got Kara or badge gear much less the higher level stuff.
I disagree with the 5mans are easier than ever logic. Having just leveled a Death Knight to 70, I am in quest blues and greens (and no, not just the dk starting set). In a group with a few like geared people (including a DK tank and a season 2+ geared warrior), we did have some trouble in the Nexus.
Say what you want about me being a noob and such, but I chose to play the death knight over my epicly geared pally, hunter or shaman because I wanted to see Northrend from the questing straight through prospective. So far, I would say it picks up from TBC nicely.
Think of it this way, if you were a level 39 twink, SM Cath wouldn't be hard either. ;)

That's because you've played for the last 2-4 years and have learned how to deal with certain mechanics of bosses. You run out of the fire; you stack on a boss that charges; you don't stand anywhere near the front of any boss because 95% of them cleave; on and on.
Take any of these instances, for the most part, and put them at the beginning of TBC in our progression and they would be hard. They would be hard because we didn't get much of that Pre-TBC in plain vanilla Wow that all the hardcore people miss so damn much. Yeah, back when only 2% of players ever saw the inside of MC.
Yes, that version of the game was *soooo* much better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the kegel balls not falling out my vagina even when im not squeezing them?
I squat with legs far apart and they still don't fall out and I pee with them in legs apart they still dont slip out so i dont squeeze but will not squeezing them not tighten my pelvic muscles? I thought the balls were supposed to fall out why are they staying in so good without me having to do anything? Can my pc muscles be tightened with the balls inside without me having to squeeze?
When you put the 'balls' inside your kegel or PC muscles automatically close around them, this has been shown in clinical trials to strengthen them. If you are holding the balls inside then your muscles are OK and you should look at using heavier balls – graduated vaginal cones such as Kegel8 vaginal cones have three sizes with three weights (the largest is the lightest ranging to the heaviest being the smallest ensuring that your muscles exercise by contracting around the cone to hold it in place)
Always remember that a kegel squeeze should be 'squeeze and lift' – i.e. sucking in, rather than pushing out, this is a 'bad' kegel.
So, 'squeezing and lifting' with resistance such as kegel balls or cones is a more effective way to strengthen your kegel muscles than 'squeezing and lifting' with nothing inside the vagina.
What exactly are kegel exercises for men?
From what I understand it's just hanging a weight from our shaft and strengthening the erection with the weights resistance?
Though most commonly used by women, men can also use Kegel exercises. For example, the Kegel Male Exercise Trainer is one such device. The trainer functions as a resistance exercise regimen targeting the three major muscles contained in the penis. These three muscles are believed to begin their natural atrophy after the age of 18. Using lightly weighted ball bearings of appropriate numbers (1 to 4 balls; provide a total weight of 2.5 ounces to a maximum of 10 ounces), the training apparatus focuses on the male Pubococcygeus (PC muscle), Bulbocavernosus and Ishiocavernosus muscles. The Trainer also strengthens the tunica albuginea, anal sphincter and urogenetial diaphragm. Strengthening these tissues has been reported to produce penis enlargement and increased testosterone levels.
They are used to strengthen the pubococcygeal muscle and other muscles of the pelvic diaphragm. Kegels can help men achieve stronger erections and gain greater control over ejaculation. The objective of this may be similar to that of the exercise in women with weakened pelvic floor: to increase bladder and bowel control and sexual function.
[edit] Incontinence
Regarding postprostatectomy urinary incontinence, a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials by the Cochrane Collaboration found that "there may be some benefit of offering pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback early in the postoperative period immediately following removal of the catheter as it may promote an earlier return to continence".[6]
[edit] Sexual function
Kegel workouts can provide men with stronger erections. [7]There are said to be significant benefits for the problem of premature ejaculation from having more muscular control of the pelvis.[8] It is also possible that strengthening the pelvic floor may allow some men to achieve a form of orgasm without allowing ejaculation, and thereby perhaps reach multiple "climaxes" during sexual activity.[citation needed] In men, this exercise lifts up the testicles, also strengthening the cremaster muscle as well as the anal sphincter, as the anus is the main area contracted when a Kegel is done. This is because the pubococcygeus muscle begins around the anus and runs up to the urinary sphincter.
Is there anything else besides kegels that I can do?
I hate kegels. They make my stomach feel really weird somehow. Just had a baby 2 weeks ago.
Honestly it takes time, the muscles hold memory and it will return to almost normal eventually. But for your piece of mind for now here is an article from Ehow on alternative to Kegals.
Alternatives to Kegels
# Exercising the Kegel muscles can also be accomplished using various products on the market. Ben Wa balls, for example, are a pair of weighted balls that are placed into the vagina and held in place by contracting the muscles of the pelvic floor. You can buy other specialized weights to use in the same manner. Because strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can enhance a woman's sexual experience, adult stores sell them. If you do not feel comfortable going into an adult store, there are online vendors from which you can purchase such products discreetly.
What can be an alternative for Ben Wa Balls?
I can't buy Ben Wa Balls yet. But I really want! Is there any household items to take their place?
Honestly I wouldn't use anything not safe for your body.
But to strengthen your pelvic floor you can do exercises without Ben wa balls just like it's explained there: http://en.sensual-health.com/ .
You can't buy Ben Wa balls because it is too expensive? You can get some at CVS for less than 10 USD (http://www.cvs.com/shop/product-detail/Intimina-by-Lelo-Laselle-Kegel-Exerciser-28-grams?skuId=871416) Make sure you use the correct weight, that ones are for beginners.
Hope this helps.
What are good excersises to do while pregnant?
Im 17 weeks pregnant, and I know that exersising and keeping in shape are important during pregnancy.
What are exercises that are good to do?
Those Aerobic exercise such as walking, small jog that pumps your blood and carry oxygen through your body are always good.
Swimming is great and bring out alot of benefits, my friend swam throughout her pregnancy and do yoga, it all pays off, she only need 3 hours for the baby to come out after contraction came.
It is also great for the spine and the water helps you carry your body and baby weight which makes you feel lighter and more relax! It also helps you get more stamina and breath, prepares you for when the baby comes. Just remember to be careful around swimming pool wear sandals that are slippery proof, and don't swim when it's too hot, unless it's indoor of course. Remember to put on sunblock, no tanning! cause your skin is more sensitive when pregnant.
Pregnancy Yoga is also beneficial as it soothes your mind and for better sleep at night. As your body stretch, you won't feel so tense around and you will get more in touch with other pregnant ladies.
Don't forget the smallest exercise and simplest one of all! Kegel exercise! You can simply practices contracting the vagina. In order to feel the contraction, use your fingers, specially designed exercisers, balls or foam objects. The goal is to regain the "tightness" of the vagina, which improves sexual performance and gratification. Kegel exercises can also strengthen and tone the vaginal walls following natural childbirth.
Pregnant woman are encourage to exercise at least 3 times a week and 30 minutes a day. Be careful of your heart rate as If you can't speak normally while you're working out, you're probably pushing yourself too hard. This could lead to overheating, dehydration or other problems. Remember lots of liquids and keeping yourself cool.
Happy exercising!
Is there anything in the store you could buy to tighten your vagina?
I heard it was somethinv in the store u could buy to tighten your vagina. Is that true?
You are thinking of Ben Wa balls or Kegel weights.
The Kegel weights were featured on the first episode of Weeds last July.
What are Ben Wa Balls mentioned in 50 shades of Grey?
Does someone knwo what the ben wa balls are and what they are for . Read an excerpt of the book and am unsure
Also known as Kegel balls and Geisha balls. They're paired sets of balls, usually around 3.5cm diameter. Traditionally they're made of metal but now come in glass, various plastics etc. The plastic ones sometimes have free-moving weights inside them. Some are connected together with a cord, though the original ones weren't.
Don't know about 50 Shades as haven't read it, but Ben-Wa balls have been used by women for centuries, both to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and for sexual stimulation. They're inserted into the vagina. The balls move against each other both because of their own weight and also when the woman tenses the muscles of her vagina and pelvic floor. This is both pleasurable and good muscle exercise.
How do you correctly do Kegel exercises (vaginal exercises)?
Whenever i attempt to do kegel exercises i feel like my rectum is moving along with my vagina . am i doing it correctly ? How do i know if im not doing it the right way ?
It's hard to tell – rectum may feel like it's moving, just so long as your buttocks aren't moving too.
You can locate your PC muscles by stopping your pee half way through, to confirm to yourself that these are the muscles you're working insert your fingers into your vagina; your first two fingers in a 'V' shape, then when working the PC muscles you would be able to push those fingers together, or even just a finger or two inserted into your vagina should allow you to feel those muscles tensing.
There are also things you can buy to exercise with like barbells that go into your vagina for muscles to flex around, balls or weights you hold up with your vaginal muscles as you walk, and pelvic toners which have springs that add resistance as your vaginal muscles squeeze the toner closed – none are needed or will necessarily make Kegals more effective, but they will allow you to feel or see when you're doing the Kegals correctly. I know how to do Kegals, but if I've not done Kegal's in a while I sometimes even I use my KegalMaster to make sure I'm flexing the right muscles.
Also, there are 2 ways to do kegels; 1. Flex muscles 10 times, do this 3 times so a total of 30, repeat this 3 times a day. 2. Flex muscles and hold for 2-4 seconds, relax for 10 seconds and keep going until you have done this 10 times, repeat this 3 times a day.
I bought some benwa balls and was just curious about how long does it take to get VERY strong kegel muscles?
I know how to use them and what they do. But out of all of the reading I did, it never says if you work out these muscles then they should be stronger by this time. If anyone can answer this please do ^_^
Thank you.
This depends on your definition of very strong kegel muscles. I think it depends on the person, the quantity of time you use the balls for and how heavy they are? Did you know their are different weights, sizes, and shapes? Also some people buy smart balls, vibrating eggs or something else thinking that is a benwa ball but it isn´t.
Long story short I have seen marked improvement as far as strength is concerned after a week but to have very strong kegel muscles I would say about a month or longer if you use them half an hour a day.
Do kegel exercises tighten the vagina or just strengthen the muscle?
Let me know as much info as you all have!!!
Also if it doesn't tighten the vagina…..what does?
Just giving it time?
From what I've read, kegel exercises can help strengthen and tighten the vagina and PC muscles. They have devices such as weights or squeeze balls to help exercise the muscles. I think any exercise would help rather than have no effect.
How do I make my vagina tighter?
My boyfriend is not getting off every time we have sex, and I am kind of embarrassed about it. He said I am really loose compared to what I used to be. I do use my dildo/vibrator probably everyday and he told me to stop using it. Is there any way I can get my vagina tighter permanently? I am going to stop using my dildo but is there anything else I could do?
Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the uterus, bladder and bowel. Many factors can weaken your pelvic floor muscles, from pregnancy and childbirth to aging and being overweight.
A woman's pelvic floor muscles include several layers of muscle attached to the front, back and sides of the pelvic bones. Along with other tissues, these muscles work like a hammock to support the pelvic organs, including the uterus, bladder, small intestine and rectum.
Kegel Balls, also known as Kegel Beads, Ben Wa Balls, Love Balls, Orgasm Balls, and Smart Balls, have been used by women for over a hundred years. They come in a variety of sizes and materials. Some are metal and naturally weighted while others are plastic with metal ball bearings inside. Some come attached with a silicone or nylon cord for easy removal.
Lelo Luna Beads Pink
LELO Luna Pleasure Beads System consists of a silicone girdle and four weighted beads. The two pink beads weigh 28 grams. Used for daily Kegel exercises, the Luna bead system can help strengthen and tighten the muscles of the vagina.
Good Luck!!
How long did it take you to loose your postpartum belly?
It's been 8 weeks since I had my baby and I still have a small belly. It bothers me very much. I wonder if it will ever dissapear
It took longer with each child. I had my third and last baby 15 months ago, and I still have this floppy puckered gross thing! I do crunches and I feel stronger in my abs, but the loose skin and stretch marks have not reduced. Im back to my pre pregnancy weight, but my gut is quite unattractive. IF this is your first or second baby, do ab crunches with the exercise ball and make sure you hold your abs in with walking. do your kegels as this helps the core strength come back. if you have overstretched skin like me, I dont know what to tell ya. I hate the idea of any plastic surgery, but a tummy tuck sounds like an option. eeeww.
Can someone tell me the pros and cons of taking semen/orgasm volumizer drugs?
Just found out that there was a drug that (allegedly) causes a man to cum longer and harder.
Would prefer a health professional (if possible) to let me know if there's a possiblity of such a thing, and if so, what the Pros and Cons are of ingesting such a drug into the system.
I would choose natural over synthetic. The swiss have been using herbs to increase the amount of ropes they have. a rope is the contraction that happens when you ejaculate. The penis will continue contracting as long as there is fluid to ejaculate so if you can increase this amount you will have a longer orgasm. Roplex, Ogoplex, and Semenax are natural supplements that can increase the volume of semen produced. so will being properly hydrated (take your weight in lbs and divide in half and that is the number of ounces of water you should drink a day) and ensure you are getting enough zinc and selenium in your diet. those nutrients assist the genital region and some even are found in high concentrations in the semen and so might be a key in it's manufacture. Practicing Kegel exercises strengthens the muscles that do the contracting and testicle massage can help increase testosterone production (so can the use of the ball zinger).
all in all, there are ways to volumize your semen but the best ways are natural, but don't over do it….follow the directions carefully. An example is that many potency herbal preparation come with L-arginine (an amino acid) but taking too much can cause kidney stones in those who are prone to them
What sizes do Ben-Wa balls (kegal balls) come in?
I usually do kegals and heard about ben-wa balls and wanted to try those to strengthen my pelvic muscles instead. I brought some online which seem like beginners ones because they have no effect on me. I need to try maybe a bigger/heavier size. What sizes do they come in?
Hi Top Notch,
I guess Kegel balls sizes depends on the brand.
- The intimina laselle Kegel exercisers are 36mm
- The lelo Luna beads are also 36 mm
- The lelo luna beads mini are 29mm
What's important more than the size is the weight you'll choose. The weight will make the difference in your results and they have to be adapted according to your own situation (and evolve with your practice). The intimina ones have 3 different weights (28, 38 and 48gr and you can attach 2 together)
Hope this helps
Is this normal after giving birth?
I had my second baby 8 days ago (May 22nd). I didn't get an episiotomy or tear and my pelvic muscles really hurt. With my first I had a large episiotomy and my muscles didn't hurt. Is this because last time I had a bigger opening to push the baby through? How long will this soreness last? Everytime I sneeze I feel like my bottom's going to fall out! I am doing my Kegels. Thanks for your answers.
because of excessive levels of hormones, extra sensitivity to hormones, or a pelvis that is out of alignment, this area is extra lax or there is extra pressure on the joint. That cause the pain.
To summarize, SPD is the mild form of this problem. Its symptoms often include one or more of the following:
pubic pain
pubic tenderness to the touch; having the fundal height measured may be uncomfortable
lower back pain, especially in the sacro-iliac area
difficulty/pain rolling over in bed
difficulty/pain with stairs, getting in and out of cars, sitting down or getting up, putting on clothes, bending, lifting, standing on one foot, lifting heavy objects, etc.
sciatica (pain in buttocks and down the leg)
"clicking" in the pelvis when walking
waddling gait
difficulty getting started walking, especially after sleep
feeling like hip is out of place or has to pop into place before walking
bladder dysfunction (temporary incontinence at change in position)
knee pain or pain in other areas can sometimes also be a side-effect of pelvis problems
some chiropractors feel that round ligament pain (sharp tearing or pulling sensations in the abdomen) can be related to SPD
Although the best idea may be to resolve chronic SPD pain through realigning the pelvis girdle and soft tissues, most women have at least some residual pubic and low back pain stick around for pregnancy and the early postpartum weeks because of hormones. Therefore, tips for coping with pubic pain tend to be a focus of many SPD websites. Many of the suggestions include:
Use a pillow between your legs when sleeping; body pillows are a great investment!
Use a pillow under your 'bump' (pregnancy tummy) when sleeping
Keep your legs and hips as parallel/symmetrical as possible when moving or turning in bed
Some women also find it helpful to have their partners stabilize their hips and hold them 'together' when rolling over in bed or otherwise adjusting position
Some women report a waterbed mattress to be helpful
Silk/satin sheets and nighties may make it easier to turn over in bed
Swimming may help relieve pressure on the joint (many sites recommend avoiding breaststroke but Kmom did not find it to be a problem at all for her; see what works for you)
Deep water aerobics or deep water running may be helpful as well (there are flotation devices to help you stay afloat easily during this; you do not need to know how to swim in order to do this)
Keep your legs close together and move symmetrically (other sources recommend a very small gap between the legs with symmetrical movement)
When standing, stand symmetrically, with your weight evenly distributed through both legs
Sit down to get dressed, especially when putting on underwear or pants
Avoid 'straddle' movements
Swing your legs together as a unit when getting in and out of cars; use plastics or something smooth and slippery (like a garbage bag) on the car seat to help you enter car backwards and then turn your legs as a unit
An ice pack may feel soothing and help reduce inflammation in the pubic area; painkillers may also help
Move slowly and without sudden movements
If sex is uncomfortable for you, use lots of pillows under your knees, or try other positions
If bending over to pick up objects is difficult, there are devices available that can help with this
Really severe cases may need crutches, although these should probably only be used as a last resort
Sciatica may be helped by stretching the hamstring muscles with a stirrup around your foot (long piece of rope, two neck ties tied together, etc.) See the Elizabeth Noble book for directions (resources)
Back pain can often be helped by resting backwards over a large gymnastic or 'birth' ball (see resources)
Some women report that pelvic binders/maternity support belts are helpful for pelvic pain; brands in the U.S. include Prenatal Cradle or BabyHugger or the Reenie Belt. However, if the pelvic bones are really misaligned, some women report more pain with these. Listen to your body on whether to use these
Pelvic rocks (getting on all fours and then slowly tilting the angle of the pelvis back and forth) are general recommended exercises for all pregnant women, plus they help promote good birth positions for baby. They can also help ease tight low back muscles. It is usually recommended to do 2-3 sets of 40 of these throughout the day. You can also do them sitting or standing against a wall, but on all fours is often most comfortable and has the added effect of helping the baby's position, which may be important with SPD.
Lumbar pillows are very helpful to many pregnant women. They are available at many car stores, but if you cannot find one, try a small neck pillow (elongated like a tube), rolled up towel, or tube sock filled with rice or flax seeds. Put it behind your back when sitting, wherever it feels best; for some women this is down low in the small of the back, for some it is even lower against the sacrum, and for others it feels best up high in the middle of the back. Socks or pillows filled with rice or flax have the advantage of being able to be warmed in the microwave before using, which can feel really nice!
Massage of the lower back or strong counterpressure in that area feels really great to some women. Some women like it just to the sides of their spine (helps loosen the muscles there), and some like it really low and farther out (there are trigger points there). Others like it all up and down on either side of the spine. See what feels best to you and go from there. If your partner's hands get tired (this is a tough place to massage!), try a rolling pin, tennis ball, or other hard object there. For women who like extra hard pressure on this spot, try getting on your hands and knees and arch your back a bit, then have your partner put his elbow against the area that feels best, lean his weight on it, and rub around in small circles. For others who like more gentle pressure, hand or finger pressure may be more than enough.
Although it's possible to 'deal with the pain' or use these tips to help you cope with pelvic pain, these ideas only address the SYMPTOMS of the problem, not the root cause of it. If the source of your pain is purely hormonal, then addressing the symptoms is about all you can do until the baby is born and your hormones start to change. However, if the problem is in the misalignment of the bones creating stress on the joints, only fixing this misalignment can really help resolve the problem, and simply having the baby won't change much. It may make sense to at least get an evaluation of your pelvic area and back to see if there's a problem. Then you can choose whether to try any treatment or not.
Chiropractic care aims to realign the pelvis, the back, and all affected areas through the use of manual adjustments. Many women with pelvic pain anecdotally report the greatest improvement from chiropractic or osteopathic treatment.
Any ladies out there ever use a device to help them do their kegel exercises?
Like the www.ikegelpro.com?
You can try a Yoni Egg. It is a weighted egg usually made of Marble or you get ones made form Jade. It seems to work the best for me and my friends that I have suggested it too. They are also usually pretty looking so if it gets left out no biggie. Very simple to use and depending on your spiritual beliefs are considered healing in some cultures.
Just do a search for "Yoni Egg" on Yahoo and you can find a great deal of them. they range from to .
An egg is far superior to any Kegel Balls (which are usually plastic and well seem tacky).
Does the kegelmaster200 really work?
I need to work on my PC muscles, and regular kegels aren't working. I want to try the Kegelmaster200, but before I spend a hundred bucks on it, I was just wondering if anyone knows if it really works, and if it's worth the money
I hear that the weights work better. They sell metal balls that are different weights and you stick them in your vagina and try to hold them in for as long as you can. Sounds a lot more promising than the kegelmaster200. At least to me it does.
What ever you want to do is up to you.
How to get a better body?
ok well im 13 years old now, i have always been a chubby kid but most recently ( few years ago) i lost my baby fat. now im not as skinny as i wish i was, so my questions is how do i get tighter abs and a tinyier waste, i have always had big hips but most definatly is love handles. and also by my ribs is really fatty and by my stomach. any REALY GOOD exercises that help to tighten up abs and love handles ?
Want to lose weight and get better body?
Try some tips below:
Lay on your back and knees bent, lift your shoulders off the floor. The emphasis is on moving the ribs towards the hips.
Reverse Curl
Lay on your back, bend your knees towards the chest. Keep the hips on the floor. Contract your abdominal muscles at the same time. Your lower abdominal exercise program must include reverse curls.
Leg raise
Single leg raise involves raising one leg from the floor. The double leg raise involves raising both legs from the floor at the same time and this works as an abdominal muscle exercise. Lying leg raises are ideal lower abdominal exercise
Abs exercise with the ball
The stability ball is an effective training device for the abs and lower back. Due to the curve of the exercise ball, the lower abdominal muscles get trained better on account of the greater range of motion.
It was ranked the best abdominal exercise by the American Council on Exercise. When performed with the abs muscles pulled, this exercise does great things for you.
For this exercise program, you need to position yourself for a pushup and hold the pose. Ensure that your body is in one long, straight line from head to toes.
Captains chair
This abs exercise involves standing on a gym chair and gripping the handholds. Press your back against the head pad and slowly lift your knees towards your chest. The back must remain straight.
Postnatal stomach exercise
A lot of women just cannot wait to get back in shape after childbirth. But before they can participate in any postnatal weight loss exercise program, they have to consult their doctor first.
Pelvic tilts and simple abs contractions are an ideal way to start on a postnatal lower abdomen exercise program. Combined with Kegels exercise, you can get your pelvic floor muscles back in shape. Isometric contractions can even be practiced with the baby on your stomach. Stick to a steady lower abs exercise program and watch the flabby skin harden.
Stomach exercise to flatten stomach
Getting a lean defined six-pack abs is a dream for most of us. Millions of dollars are spent yearly in the process of achieving a flat stomach and trim waistline. There are many gadgets that are sold to those seeking an exercise program getting the stomach fat down.
The first step towards a lean waist and flat stomach is to remove the fat that sits on the abs. A combination of cardiovascular exercise program coupled with a low fat diet aimed at preventing fat can do wonders. Stomach exercise program would include the following:
Forward flexion exercises such as sit-ups and crunches.
Rotational exercises such as trunk rotations and standing twists
Stomach Exercise for love handle
Love handles are a misnomer, as all women would love to shun them. Love handles are the ugly fat belts around the waist. This lump of flesh starts at the side of the bra-line and extends all the way down the back. Aerobic exercise aimed at this region can help you shed those love handles. Exercise for love handles involve exercising the oblique muscles to tighten up the sides of the waist. Abs crunches could also do the same.
Here is an easy stomach exercise for the oblique that you can do at home.
Sit upright with a stick across the back of your shoulders. Twist from side to side. Side bends also work wonders on love handles. Keep at it and watch these muscles firm into place.
I hope I helped:)
how do you get a loose vingina?
lol, this is weird to ask. hahaa, but how do yu get one tho? cause i think i have one but im not for sure cause it gets baxck tight again icf i dont have sex for at least 3 momnths. lol.
Believe it or not, the only thing that really makes a vagina "loose" is a loss of muscle tone. This tends to come with age, but things like pregnancy and being overweight will also cause the vaginal muscles to over-stretch and lose condition. You cannot permanently loosen a vagina through sex. This is a myth.
The vagina itself is very flexible and elastic. It naturally gets enlarges whenever a woman is sexually aroused, but will shift back to its original size as she loses arousal. Inserting objects into the vagina (like a penis) will also cause the wall of the vagina to stretch – just like a sock stretches to accommodate a foot. However, the stretch is not permanent and within a few hours after sexual activity, the vagina will have once more gone back to its natural shape and size.
If a woman carries a great deal of weight in her abdomen (which is naturally the case during pregnancy), the the muscles of the vagina actually stretch sideways a bit in order to hold that weight in. This is basically what stops your organs from falling out through the big hole in your pelvis. :] It's also the reason why even women who do not give birth vaginally will often report a lose of vaginal tone after pregnancy. If the weight is short-term (like pregnancy), then a bit of pelvic floor exercise afterwards will tighten those muscles back up.
If you're genuinely worried about "looseness", then I'd suggest you engage in regular pelvic floor toning exercises (kegels), or purchase a pelvic floor exercise ball. Google "Fun Factory Smart Balls" or "Lelo Luna Balls", and have a look at what I'm talking about.
Has anyone ever used orgasm balls for tightening?!?
I bought orgasm weighted balls today to help with kegel excersizes and tightening of the vagina walls. Has anyone heard good things about this? tried it? How long will it be noticeable for your significant other to realize? Thank you!
Ben wa balls have been around for a long time because they work. It depends on how weak your muscles were and how much you use them to tone.
Am I using ben wa balls correctly?
I'm trying to tighten my pc muscles by using Ben wa balls. I have two and they stay in easily. A little too easily. I don't have to work to keep them in. Once I put them in I can work out and jump around and they won't fall out. This makes me feel like I'm not giving them the proper work out. Am I putting them too deep? If I put them too close to the entrance of my vagina, I end up squeezing them out. Any advice?
Ben was balls are not supposed to fall out, nor are they for working out. It is just a sex toy. If you want something to help you with kegels there are vaginal weights or an actual kegelmaster device.
Survey: How do you tell if your Vagina is loose?
If the neighbors call to complain about it digging up their begonias?
"Loose" usually means 'relaxed'. If you've noticed that you can slip your fingers or a tampon in easier than before, it probably means you've become accustomed to the feeling and don't tense up as much, rather than that you've actually grown.
Vaginal tightness varies according to several factors; primarily, the toning of the pubococcygeal muscles, which control urine flow, is stronger in some females than others. Childbirth and sexual arousal are common determinants in relaxing those muscles, and stress and anxiety can cause them to tighten. (It is commonly thought that a partner's large penis size and/or frequency of sex are 'loosening' factors, but these are myths.)
However, if you want to tighten your vaginal opening (note: not the vagina itself), you could try Kegel exercises. Ben Wa balls, often used for stimulation, are also recommended by many as exercising tools.
From Columbia University:
"Here's how to do Kegel exercises:
▪ When you're peeing, clench (without your hands) your muscles to stop the flow of urine for about four seconds. Then release those same muscles to let the urine flow again. These are your pelvic floor muscles; these are the muscles you'll be exercising when you do Kegels.
▪ If you want to check and make sure that you're using the right muscles, put a finger or two into your vagina. Tighten the muscles. If you can feel your fingers being squeezed (even just a little), then you've located the right muscles.
▪ About five to ten times a day, repeat the Kegels ten times per session.
▪ It can take up to 8 to 10 weeks to notice improvement, and there will most certainly be improvement. Like any kind of weight lifting or muscle building exercises, Kegels take time to make a difference! (Adding a vaginal barbell to your regular Kegel exercise routine can help. They are available at specialty stores that carry sex toys or sexual enhancement items.)"
Ben wa balls/kegel weights question?
I'm not sure if the aim is to increase the weight of the ball I'm using or to decrease the size? Currently I'm using 2 balls which are each 90g I can hold them in all day including while exercising etc however, they are 1 inch in diameter! So they don't come out easily even when I'm pushing them out, should I be using smaller lighter ones?
I believe the aim is to increase the weight of the ball.

The key is in asking your question in the proper category… which one is a mystery to me!
thinking about getting some kegel balls?
i just had a baby & i've been looking at kegel balls? do they actually work? & whats the difference between vibratone & duo tone? :/ x
if you get the right set and use them properly then they will work. what you should be loooking for is a brand called "Ben Wa Balls" they are heavy weighted balls that sit in the base of the vagina.
duo tone have internal balls that are ment for pleasure. they are generally not weighted same with vibratone. vibratone are more commonly known as "orgasm balls".
start out with a big size and get smaller. start with using them for about 20 mins a day while lying down. then when you are comfortable start walking around with them. over time you will feel comfortable enough to walk around all day thing them. this is when you should change down a size. try and "clutch" them every few seconds. dont be afraid about them "dissappearing". they can only either fall out or go up. generally if you cant get them out by jumping up and down then you can use your fingers :p
Prolapse of the uterus after giving birth?
I had my son on Sept. 20th. I pushed him out in 10 min. and I tore really badly so I had a lot of stitches. I had been looking down there alot to see my progress in healing so far so good. Everything looked normal to me. I couldnt even see the stitches since they were all internal. The other day I noticed that when I was taking a shower I could feel something down there. I looked down there with a mirror and I saw what looked like my insides comming out. I have a dr. appointment next week but it is getting worse. I tried going pee and it was difficult last night. I looked and my insides are covering my pee hole (yes technical terms here). I am kind of worried. If this is a prolapse can everything literally come out completely? Is the only correction surgury? Will I still be able to have sex and have more children??
I tried to find some information for you:
Symptoms & Signs
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
Mild prolapse may not cause any symptoms. With more severe prolapse, a woman may have:
a falling out sensation
a feeling like she's sitting on a ball
sensation of pelvic heaviness
low backache
lower abdominal discomfort
increased vaginal discharge
increased urinary tract infections
increased desire to urinate or more frequent urination
stress incontinence, or leakage of urine that is worsened by coughing, sneezing, or lifting objects
a feeling of not having completely emptied the bladder
painful bowel movements
Prevention & Expectations
What can be done to prevent the condition?
While uterine prolapse is not always avoidable, some cases can be avoided by:
doing Kegel exercises during pregnancy and after giving birth to strengthen pelvic muscles
an episiotomy, or cut made in the perineum and vaginal wall during labor
taking hormone replacement therapy for a long time during and after menopause to maintain the tone of the pelvic muscles
What are the long-term effects of the condition?
The long-term effects of uterine prolapse depend on how severe it is and how long a woman has had the condition. Some long-term effects include:
abnormal uterine bleeding
increased vaginal discharge
chronic vaginal infections
chronic bladder infections, known as recurrent cystitis
partial urethral obstruction
small bowel obstruction
incarceration of the uterus within the pelvis. This occurs with rapid growth of a pregnant uterus that becomes trapped in the pelvis, cutting off its blood supply.
What are the risks to others?
Uterine prolapse is not contagious, and poses no risk to others.
Treatment & Monitoring
What are the treatments for the condition?
Treatment for uterine prolapse depends on many things, including:
the severity of the prolapse
the severity of the symptoms
the presence of other signs and symptoms
a woman's wishes to preserve her fertility
the woman's age
Treatment options include:
pessary, a plastic doughnut-shaped device placed into the vagina to push up the uterus
round ligament suspension procedure, an operation to provide muscle support to the uterus
estrogen therapy given directly into the vagina with creams
hysterectomy, or surgery to remove the uterus
What are the side effects of the treatments?
The side effects depend on the treatment. The use of hormone replacement therapy may cause nausea, weight gain, abdominal bloating, increased vaginal discharge, and breast tenderness. After a hysterectomy a woman will need 6 to 8 weeks to recuperate. There are possible side effects with any surgery. These include bleeding, infection, and allergic reactions to anesthesia.
What happens after treatment for the condition?
After surgical treatment of a prolapsed uterus, a woman should:
avoid lifting heavy objects
prevent constipation by drinking plenty of fluids, using stool softeners for a short time, and increasing her fiber intake
perform Kegel exercises daily
avoid smoking
lose weight through diet and exercise, if she is overweight
continue with hormone replacement therapy, if she was using it before surgery
avoid wearing tight girdles or other garments that put pressure on the abdomen
How is the condition monitored?
Any new or worsening symptoms should be reported to the healthcare provider
I hope it helps a bit.
i need to get rid of belly blubber!(:FAST?
less than a month before school starts!my shirts are already 7% spandex and lately ive noticed my stomach getting,oh i dont know-fattterr.it wouldnt normally bother me but spandex and belly blubber just doesnt mix.i need FAST EASY FUN and WORKING excersizing moves-quick.i cant deal with hydroxy cut and all that crap
Combo effect: stop eating fast food and breaded microwavable meals; drink lots more water!! AND use a medicine ball when you execute your ab routine on the mat and while on the bigger bouncier exercise ball. You should try to use Kegel technique whenever you do a rep. but for starters, engage your lower abs during each rep by "cutting off your pee". Literally!! Your ability to work your lower extemities (legs) while engaging your internal muscles that feel like a coil deep under the first layer of abdominals (rectus abdominus) is highly effective in having that tight feeling in the lower abs that is so elusive to many people. While on the mat, lie down on your back: you have to engage "cut off your pee" before you lift your (bent legs) knee(s) slowly toward your chest; and then again when you lower the knee(s) to the starting position. All the while, keeping the "small" of your back on the mat. Connecting your breathing to the motion helps you zone-in mentally on the execution: inhale on the down, exhale on the up (make room in your middle for the leg to get to the chest).
You would not do this on the bouncy ball. but while ont he mat, work yourself up to using the medicine ball between your calves as you raise and lower them while engaging your Kegels! Even harder: perform knee ups (hang from a bar while raising your knees to your chest; no swinging allowed). If you can master the Kegels while suspended, then add the extra weight to your legs for the real challenge!
Good luck!!
is it safe to use be-wan balls while your pregnant to help straighten the vaginal muscles?
I dont see whynot, its like doing kegels only with weights.
How to stop queefing?
have you ever queefed or had your partner queef?
I had a baby 8 months ago and I queef all the freaking time, so annoying not to mention embarrassing!! how do I stop it??
Some women have experienced passage of air or wind from the vagina that can create an audible noise, and may be embarrassing. It can happening during sporting activities, sexual intercourse or sometimes just from squatting.
Pelvic floor weakness, usually from childbirth, is the main culprit here. Air can get drawn or sucked into the vagina during any of the above mentioned activities, especially if the vaginal opening is wider or looser than what it had been previously. After the air is drawn in it becomes trapped in the upper vagina behind one of the vaginal walls that may be loose, such as from a mildly dropped bladder. Then during repositioning of the body, the air is pushed out the vagina creating a noise and sensation.
Pelvic floor muscle weakness is common. Many women already perform Kegel muscle exercises to help decrease the severity and incidence of urinary incontinence/leakage they experience. Similar pelvic floor muscle retraining can re-strengthen this part of the body. In addition, squeezing the thighs closed against a beach ball, or pushing the thighs out against resistance at the gym, also helps the pelvic floor.
Weighted vaginal cones are different sized smooth cones that are placed in the vagina around which the woman squeezes in order to retain the cone. You begin with larger sizes and work your way down.
Sometimes placing a large tampon in the vagina while working out can block movement of air. It may also support the urethra just enough to prevent urinary incontinence as well during a workout, and trap urine within it to prevent wetting of underwear or workout clothes.
Significant pelvic floor weakness can be surgically corrected if significant. When the bladder, top of the vagina or rectum push into the vagina, causing pressure, or even push out the vagina, then it's time to have a formal examination.
Question about kegel exercises?
How often is it recommended to do them? Is it possible to overdo it and hurt yourself?
You can't hurt yourself, but you want to remember NOT to do them while peeing. It causes the urine to backtrack up the urethra, and can cause UTI's!
If you really want to immprove your "strength" you can get ben wa balls or weights from Dr. Laura Berman. (She's the sex lady who is always on Oprah & Dr. Oz.)
You can get them online at www.PartyGalAnne.com, just click on "Berman products"!

My vagina is loose from aving my son, ho wmuch would it cost for surgery to tighten and rejuvenate my vagina?
There is no need for surgery. Just work on your Kegel exercises. If you are not sure what Kegels are, they are exercises that tighten the pubococcygeus muscles. In order to locate these muscles, try to stop the flow of urine when you pee. I wouldn't recommend doing this every time you pee because it can cause problems. This is just a way to locate the muscles. After you've located them, on a daily basis, practice tightening those muscles, holding, then releasing. There are such things as vaginal weights which are most commonly barbell shaped and frequently used as sex toys. They contain weighted balls that you place inside the vagina. They act as resistance when you practice your Kegel exercises. Just think of them as strength training for your vagina.
where can i buy ben wa balls in Toronto.?
Hi, I'm married and have a 1 year old kid. i had a normal delivery and i now feel my vaginal muscles are loose and find sex not so pleasurable anymore. I have heard that ben wa balls can increase the strength of the vaginal walls so I thought I would give it a try. Different people have diff. views about it..some say it works some say it doesn't. Does Anyone know where to get this kegel tool in Toronto. Any store or any website? please let me know your views if u have tried em… Thanks.
Also plz suggest which type of ben wa balls are best to use post labor. thnx
You can get vaginal weights (similar to ben wa balls) online at National Incontinence. They also sell the Kegelmaster. In the meantime, you can try doing kegels without an exerciser. Do them three times a day, every day.
I have these ben wah balls that I Don't know if they are ben wah or not?
ok how do I post the pic of them on here?
Ok, Ben Wah balls are smalled than Baodine balls which have musical chimes in them and are used for exercising the hands. The Ben Wah balls are to exercise the Vagina and the Pelvic floor, The most famous of them are called Kegel masters. You follow the instructions and insert them in the vagina and try to move them around. You can google Teri Hatcher and Jay Leno Video, in which she talks about them. She ordered five pair of them, and says when she marries her husband is going to be very happy. And when you are older you will not have bladder leakage when you cough or sneeze or lift things. But be sure they are what you think they are. Are they stainless steel? I would go to a web site like Kegelmaster and find out the proper size for ben wah balls in the site. And if doubt, order another pair from KegelmasterU
Usually the Ben Wah balls are 3 quarters of an inch in diameter, they are slightly larger than a marble. they should both feel as if they have weights in them. Do not buy them coated, the coating can come off while in you, some of them contain hearts, and are clear plastic, these have come apart in some women and the tiny plastic hearts inside become difficult to remove from the vaginal area. You need smooth, smooth stainless steel, try to find a reputable sex toy shop on the internet, and order from there. You don't want something cheap to insert into an orifice. And use them at home, they have a tendency to fall out when walking.
kegal excersizes and bladder?
i have bladder problems.. like i used to have bladder spams i guess u could say, and i also go to the bathroom all the time. i was starting to do kegal excersize but i feel as if i ve worsened the bladder problems.. like i feel like i have to pee like crazy now. could they worsenthat?
age/ weight/ medical history, child birth, and other factors determine your bladder retention..for me Kegels are part of my life because I started my periods at 9yr 7mo10 days and with it came a bladder infection that left me wetting down my leg a lot. My aunt had just been threw a La-mans class for natural child birth but had to have Emergency C-section. so she was touting the other benefits of Kegels to my mom and they "Showed" me how to do them. by using a craft balloon . you inflate it to comfortable and start trying to change the end that is sticking out of you by clinching your insides. buttocks/ thighs / rectum and abdomen for a while it doesn't feel like any thing is happening but if you practice about a week it starts to change and in two weeks I could squeeze the air completely out of the inserted end, and traded that for a WATER balloon [pear shaped]' insert the partially inflated large end and start working it. in a month I was using it full . of air and could make the little end blow up tight.. From that at about 11 I went to soft Super Balls about the size of a quarter.[Wall-mart party favors] and that was all MOM coached me with. BUT I forged ahead with my own Ideas [I was 0Ohio-Gas mum addicted ] went to Ben Waugh balls of the Adult store variety my brother bought them for me. Then a string of pleasure pearls and my toothbrush with a latex finger cote [injury protector] over the bristles .before I was 12. I could clamp hard enough to stop the tooth brush inside me. [but I didn't want to] .
About then my B_F began to Finger me quite roughly on a make out exploring venture so I Clamped and he ask me to release his fingers..I slowed him down, we got acquainted with our bodies. Kegel exercises are something I do with out a conscience THOUGHT they are a Habit. If I am setting here typing I am kegeling, walking, waiting, under stress, I can produce an orgasm with kegels and a push down on my pubes at the right moment outside my clothing and NO one is the wiser. I use period 'cups' because I know they will be fine. I open my self up at night with spread legs around a body pillow to AIR out. because I clamp it closed so much it needs a chance too "JUST BREATH" .[thank you Miley Cyrus] .
Do Ben Wa balls work?
I bought a set and will this tighten my vaginal muscles? What else can I do besides Kegel?
kegels are the best, there is actually a device called a kegelmaster 2000 that doctors often prescribe to women with urinary incontinence due to weak pelvic floor muscles, but is is also great if you just want to strengthen those muscles. Ben wa balls are good if you attach a weight to them and try to hold them in as long as possible, or lift as much weight as possible. You should also practice queefing on purpose because that is a good way to develop not strength, but control of your vaginaland pelvic floor muscles. have fun:-D
Help with Kegel exercise tools?
I purchased some ben wa balls so that I can have strong PC muscles. The problem is I think I have the wrong kind. I purchase a set of small glass ones (with flowers inside) and a set of heavy plastic coated steel ones that have magnets in them. When I am using them I can't feel them at all and they do not fall out.
I thought the small ones were harder to hold in. Does anyone have any advice to give? Should I get larger ones? I was thinking of getting a crystal egg which is considerably larger than the ben wa balls.
I'd buy a kegelmaster but I can't afford it. I just want something relatively cheap that will add resistance to my exercise.
You aren't supposed to feel them- they rest in the same place a tampon would, and there are very few nerve endings there. IF you were to, say, hula hoop or jog with them, then you'd feel some small fluttering sensations.
The fact that they are staying in on their own is a sign that you are tight. What you should probably do in order to strengthen the PC muscles is to just do kegels. With or without the ben wa balls. You can also get the weighted stick from Dr Laura Berman. It hangs outside the vagina, and you have to clench to hold it inside.
I forget the name of it, but it looks like an icicle with the weighted balls inside.
Kegal exercises? Girls, if you've done them?
I'm interested in them. By bf said i'm not as tight as i used to be when we first started having sex. I notice it too. Will buying Vaginal weights and me doing them a lot help make me feel tighter when we have sex?
Tell me about your experience?
Thanks. All answers appreciated.
Kegel and pelvic exercises are recommended for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles in an effort to delay and possibly prevent pelvic organ prolapse. The exercises tone the pelvic floor muscles and make the vagina tighter. A woman simply practices contracting the vagina. They were much helpful for me personally. I got some Ben Wa Balls and also tried Duotone Balls (almost same as Ben Wa Balls but vibrating) you just insert them into the vagina and go on with your daily tasks.
Lelo vs. other kegels?
What is so special about the Lelo Lunars compared to other keel balls?
Although just a matter of opinion, the Lelo branded 'Luna' balls are particularly popular because Lelo is a high end line of sex toys. Think of it like…if your typical dildo is a Ford….the Lelo line offers you the Ferarri. Lelo is a medical grade Swedish silicone line that extends their products from something as common as a clitoral vibrator to a dual stimulant — and everything in between.
What separates the Luna balls from other kegels or benwas is easy — it gives you a versatile experience. First, the Luna balls are sold with (4) balls as opposed to the usual (1) or (2)…this is because two of the balls are a different weight and that allows the user to adjust their 'exercise' at anytime. Also, the silicone wrap holding the balls isnt permanent. So you have free reign to change things out or use them individually if thats your favor.
I take it youve read "Fifty Shades of Grey?" LOL.
Hope this helps you, friend!
Heavy sex life, vagina getting loose, please help!?
I have very heavy sex life since I was 15 and now my vagina is loosen and my bf is complaining…
How to tighten it back…
Besides, how to turn my nipple to pink color? Now is getting dark…
Please help.
Ways to tighten the pelvic floor muscles:
Tip 1:
Everyone has heard of the Kegel exercise. It is the single most important thing you can do for your pelvic floor.
If you have never done Kegels before, find the correct muscles by stopping and starting the flow of urine. Once you know what you're supposed to be contracting, do slow contractions several times a day. You may only be able to hold it for a few seconds at first, but as the muscles become stronger, you'll be able to hold the contraction longer.
The biggest obstacle for most women is remembering to do them! Don't worry, no one will be able to tell you're Kegeling- do them in the car, at work, and while watching TV.
Tip 2:
The Gyneflex is a device used to provide resistance while you're Kegeling. It is similar to the difference between doing a pushup, and doing a pushup while someone sits on your back!
Using a Gyneflex can get you back to your old self (or better) much faster than simply doing Kegels. Choose the appropriate resistance and lubricate the device with KY Jelly or a similar lubricant. Proceed with your Kegel exercises as usual.
Tip 3:
Ben wa balls are weighted balls that can also be used to strengthen the pelvic floor. Lubricate and insert, then wear them around the house while you putter around. Wear a panti-liner (the lubricant can be messy). Just like when you wear a tampon, your vagina will contract to hold the balls in place. Eventually, you will be able to hold the balls inside all day, if you like!
Tip 4:
Another fun exercise can be done during intercourse. Squeeze the penis as tightly as possible with the vaginal muscles, then relax. Repeat and enjoy! Vary the depth and angle of penetration to ensure all the vaginal muscles get a good workout. Some women are able to bring their man to climax with just these contractions, no thrusting necessary!
Tip 5:
Don't stop exercising your pelvic floor once you achieve the desired tone. Like any muscle, it can atrophy with disuse.
As far as lightening the color of your nipples is concerned, there are a lot of creams available in the pharmacy and even in the supermarket. Some have exfoliating effects, but I doubt their efficacy since I haven't personally heard of anyone that has used them with positive results.
Heaviest Ben Wa Balls?
Searching for the heaviest ben wa balls. Someone who has used them before did you prefer glass, steel,etc. I currently have a hard plastic with weighted metal on the inside and I'm not impressed. Thanks!!
Your question doesn't say what you are using the ben wa balls for, so that may affect the answer. If you are using them to strengthen/tighten your vagina, you are probably better off with Kegel exercises. Kegels will do the same thing, only better and faster. (And the great thing about Kegels is that you can use them during sex as well as in preparing for sex.)
If you are using the ben wa balls for sexual satisfaction, well, let's just say that I think ben wa balls have an undeserved reputation. Frankly, I have never heard of anyone who can achieve orgasm that way. Everyone seems to have heard of other women who swear that it is the greatest thing ever, "chinese magic" or stuff like that. But when you ask them if it happens to them, you will usually hear something like, "Well, no, but it feels kind of nice." And I think that's the most you can realistically expect–feeling nice, but no more than that.
Really, honey, I think that be wa balls are mostly hype. Heavier ben wa will probably not make much difference. I realize this is not what you wanted to hear, but I hope it helps.
Develop a six pack?
I'm 14 years old and want a six pack, not huge crazy ones on the tv, but a good one for my age.
I lift 5kg weight almost everyday for 20 mins and jog for 20 mins also, anything else?
ALSO, I'm male, so cheerleading is a no-no
A common mistake (made even by some personal trainers) is that for a six-pack to "show" you need to somehow focus on working the Abs every day with 1000 crunches etc.
So first thing's first – the Abs are a muscle, like any other. Just as you need to work and then rest other muscles (i.e. muscles only grow when RESTING: working out is when you BREAK the muscle down, it then rebuilds bigger & stronger when resting/sleeping), you need to do the same with Abs. So DON'T work them every day. Just as any good routine will split up body-work (e.g. say work upper body Mon & Thurs, lower body Tues & Fri with Weds off), you need to do the same for abs.
Secondly, the abs are one of the few muscles which are there, in some form of shape, on pretty much everyone. The problem is the fat content of most people's bodies forms a layer on top of the abs so they don't show. So you need to reduce fat content to make the abs visible – primarily achieved through a good BALANCED healthy diet, and "cardio" work you are doing.
So in summary, i would recommend:
1) Low fat, healthy diet high in protein but BALANCED (no stupid atkins rubbish which harms for short gains), remember the salads & vegetables!
2) Keep up the cardio work, but turn it into "interval" training which burns far more calories. "Interval" is where you keep changing the effort to keep your heart rate spiked – i.e in a 30 min run, jog for 3 mins, sprint for 2, jog 3 mins, sprint 1 mins etc and repeat the cycle. See how much more it makes you work!
3) Ab work: crunches only work the bottom "4-pack". So keep them in the routine, but add in leg raises and reverse crunches (lie on your back, clench a large ball between your butt and heels and then "curl" your knees towards your chest, if that makes sense….) for the top "2-pack" as well.
A good routine would maybe be 3 sets of 15 reps on crunches followed by 3 sets of 10 reps leg raises and 3 sets 8 reps reverse crunches. Remember to give at least 2 days rest in-between at first (i.e. so Mon, Thurs, Sun perhaps).
When performing the Ab exercises, try and maintain a posture called the "kegel" – this is where you "clench" inside (the same muscles you use when you want to stop peeing) and at the same time pull in your belly button (i.e. like you are tryingt to impress girls at the beach!).
You will find in this posture, crunches are MUCH more difficult but MUCH more effective because it controls all the supporting muscles (especiallly a set called the "pelvic girdle" but the details aren't important – just remember to do it!).
Hope this helps. This is what happens when 2 weeks off for the holidays leads to a lot of spare time!
Are BenWa balls healthy for you?
Ben Wa balls, also known as Burmese bells or Geisha balls (In Chinese, Ben Wa balls are called 阴道球 -Pinyin:yīndàoqiú, vagina ball- or 内用球 -Pinyin:nèiyòngqiú, internal-use ball-) are small, marble-sized metal balls, usually hollow and containing a small weight that rolls around—used for sexual stimulation (by insertion into the vagina or anus). Some may also be solid, or contain clappers or chimes within; other larger versions made of plastic encasing lesser balls are called Duotone balls. Reportedly, there is also a pair consisting of one containing a drop of mercury and the other, a tiny vibrating metal tongue, giving a uniquely erotic sensation even at the slightest movement of hips or legs (Sex in History, Reay Tannahill). They are used by inserting them into the vagina and using muscles to hold them in, and movement to stimulate and vibrate.
Ben Wa balls are said to originate in China and were made either of metal or ivory; "Ben Wa" is a brand name. Originally they were a single ball placed in the vagina, used to enhance the act of coitus, but shortly evolved into multiple metal covered balls linked by either a chain or silk string for easy removal. Usage of Ben Wa balls create a subtle stimulation, not meant to bring the user to immediate orgasm but rather to tease. It is possible to leave Ben Wa balls in one's vagina all day, or use them while seated in a rocking chair, for an effect that some find pleasurable.
At the end of the sixteenth century, Ralph Fitch, an English traveller, encountered them in the Shan States of Burma. He described their use there by men. Less than a dozen years later, the Florentine merchant Francesco Carletti also reported their use in Thailand, where they were used to enlarge the penis.
Ben Wa balls may also be used to simply increase the strength of the pelvic floor muscles, much as the Taoist practice The Deer Exercise has been used for centuries, and the Kegel exercises are used today. Similar to Kegel exercises, Ben Wa balls and other shaped vaginal weights are recommended by gynecologists and obstetricians to increase vaginal elasticity and bladder control. Vaginal weights come in a cylindrical shape and are used in increasing weights to strengthen the vagina, which improves sexual performance. Mild urinary incontinence, such as that which occurs while coughing, laughing, or sneezing and occurs more often as women grow older, can be treated with Ben Wa balls, vaginal weights, or Kegel exercises.
The effect of Ben Wa Balls as erotic stimulator is disputed due to the fact that sexologists claim there is no or very slight sensation that is hardly felt by a woman. However, practitioners of such spiritual traditions as Tantra and Chinese Taoism believe that Ben Wa Balls are helpful tools to exercise control and to explore the sensual side of an individual.

Muscles irregularity after child birth.?
I gave vaginal birth to my son 4 months ago and my muscles do not seem to contract. I do my kegels and went further to buyin vaginal weights but nothing seems to work. I spoke to my OB and is sending me to therapy. has this happen to anyone else? what kind of therapy is actually out there? what do they do and how long after you see results?

what is kegel exercise?
Kegel exercises are exercises to strengthen the pubococcygeal muscles. Those are the muscles in your vagina. After child birth and pregnancy, those muscles can weaken affecting your bladder control so doctors recommend these exercises to help treat it. Women also do them just to make the area tighter and stronger.
They have devices women use to help them do these exercises called Ben Wa Balls or Duotone Balls. Women insert these balls and use the muscles to hold them inside. They are weighted so it uses the muscles to keep them from falling out.
Well, I'm pregnant and I would like to get my muscles(down there) ready for labor and in good shape for after as well but I hate doing Kegels! They give me a very weird sensation. Not the orgasmic sensation but something else kind of annoying. It feels like someone dragging their nails across the chalk board only inside my body! It's very irritating and makes me not want to finish a set of Kegels for the life of me…I've heard of something called Ben-Wa (????) balls that people use. Is this something you are familiar with? Or are there other exercises that work the same area as well?
I used to try to do kegel exercises on my own and had the same sort of experience as you. I found a good site with a lot of info on how to do them and I ended up buying these balls called the Luna Balls – they come in a set with 2 different weights and I really like using them because it gives me something to 'grip' onto – check out this site – it really helped me get back into shape after having my son
hope this helped and good luck!
What are benwa balls? And what are they used for?
Ben-wa balls are weighted balls commonly placed in the vagina to provide stimulation and excercise for the kegel muscles.

Kegel Exercises
What do you think of this "diet"?
I really need to lose 15 pounds fast. I know I should exercise but I work two jobs and go to school. I literally don't have the time or energy.
If I drank a starbucks a day, that is about 500 calories.
And a huge king size candy bar for dinner, that's 700 more.
1200 calories. If I did that for a couple of weeks, I think I could carve off some of the weight.
Yes, I know, it's not healthy.
It's just a bunch of chocolate and caffeine.
I'm wondering if it could actually work????
Thanks to those who offered helpful advice. I know it sounded crazy. But you've motivated me to try to be a little more healthy about it. A chocolate bar diet still sounds more fun, though. Thanks guys!
Caffeine can act as an inducement to weight loss in proper amounts. However some of the problems with your diet:
1. Your body requires proper nutrition, when it doesn't get proper nutrition it believes it is being starved and it goes into starvation mode where it limits energy use, burns less fat, destroys protein builds (like muscle) and retains water. Eventually what happens is you appear to be bloated and pale and you have very little energy to even perform daily activities. Check out Ethiopians from the early eighties during their heavy drought. That is what will eventually happen to your body
2. Wet gain/dry gain- you are only gaining wet or liquid calories. Your body often washes those calories making number one even worse. Worse yet those calories are often from fat sources, meaning any calories your body takes in are automatically going straight to your hips
3. Depending on your current body size and gender 1200 could be enough or it could could literally kill you. More important: life or losing 15 pounds?
If you are as active as you say you are then I assume that your diet currently is the reason why you are supposedly overweight, or you are not overweight and this is a mental health issue. Judging from the term fast I assume this is an issue that has plagued for some time and you are going somewhere like Spring break where you want to wear a swimsuit. if this is the case then I have some simple methods to tone you down, lose some weight, and make you look like you lost a lot.
The five steps
1. Junk your drink- I don't care if its coffee cola or cognac stop drinking anything but orange juice or water, a lot more water than orange juice. In several case studies those who have drunk water as the only fluid have lost as much as 10 pounds in 4 weeks. That's not quaranteed but it's a start.
2. Go faster and farther-If you walk to class, speed walk to class, if you drive, park farther away and speed walk to class, if you standup at work, move. If you sit down, standup and move once an hour.
3. Talk and clench–sex therapists advocate clenching the kegels to enhance sexual performance. Why stop there? the body has hundreds of muscles and all of them can be exercised by clenching with very little movement. Are you a phone talker, then start with the feet, flex and clench move to the calves, then to the belly shoulders and even the neck. Stretching can be incorporated in this to enhance your exercies. You can even do most exercises in public while others are watching. Just do them in spurts of ten seconds or ten reps each. I would also encourage some basic stomach crunches to enhance your routine since most flab looks like it is held in the stomach and crunches tighten that area. for best results, fifteen in the morning and fifteen before bed or while watching tv at night (preferably on an exercise ball) will fulfill your needs and do not require too much energy
4. Lift a can of peas, to appease your can– almost all muscle building exercises require movement of muultiple body parts and the one that is moved the most often seems to be the gluteous and the back. If you can't weightlift at home, then find something slightly heavy at work and in between bouts of typing or whatever you do, lift it. Your body is more likely to produce lean muscle if you work with smaller weights more reps. And lean muscle building will most often slim the waist line as well as the buttocks
5. Eat like you mean it–The best way to lose weight fast is to eat healthily. 80% of americans diets are so poor regardless of caloric intake that they cannot help gaining weight. By eating the correct amount of healthy food in a day to your weight, you will almost always find that you begin to slim down. I advocate healthy meals, fruits vegetables, cheeses, meats, and very little prepackaged foods. Freshly prepared foods are terrific. Can't fit them in your busy day, try frozen steamed vegetables, light syrup fruit cups, apples lots of apples, precooked chicken, certain prepackaged rice dishes, and prepare your meals ahead of time. Avoid lunch meats, white bread, and anything that says just add water (again except for certain rice dishes). For a snack instead of whatever you eat try almonds or low salt nut assortments and fruits. For best results go after organic multigrain carbs, low or no sugar added fruits and veggies, oatmeal, and no starbucks. Don't forget to eat smaller meals because this keeps your metabolism up especially if you increase the number of meals a day to five or six
Rule six my rule of thumb seems to work for most people I know add a daily apple in the morning and you will often find that your body decreases in stress and weight gain, it's already part of the five but I feel it fruitful to add a reminder.
As a person who wants to lose weight I suggest you take a look at suggested caloric intake calculators found on the web to determine what you shou
How can I find time to work out?
Okay, here's my current situation. I currently work full time and go to school part time. I will be in school until March. I need to work full time to pay for school and my apartment, so there's no cutting corners there. General schedule is Monday: Work 2:30am-11am, No School
Tuesday: Work 2:30am-11am, School 12pm-8pm
Wednesday: No work, School 12pm-8pm
Thursday: Work 2:30am-11am, School 12pm-8pm
Friday: Work 2:30am-11am, School 12pm-4pm
Saturday: No Work or School
Sunday: Work 2:30am-11am, No School
Now my main problem here that on the days I have 16 hours of activity and only 5-6 hours between the next day I work, I am very tired, and I just can't seem to get myself to go workout with so little sleep. On Saturdays and days I only have one activity, I just want to chill and sleep. Do you have any advice as to whether or not it would be healthy to try adding workouts to my current situation, or would that be too much? If not, when would be the best time to do it, and what kinds of workouts? Also some ways to motivate yourself to work out when you are exhausted? I really want to try and start losing weight, my schedule is just a bit hectic as of right now. Also my gym's hours are 5am-10pm Monday-Friday, 10AM-5pm Saturday, and 11am-7pm Sunday…if that helps at all haha. My job is at a call center, so I sit all day…and my school has me mostly standing, but I don't feel like I get enough work out from that. Help pleeease?
I just read an article about French women, how they don't go to the gym. They incorporate exercise into their everyday activities. I'll try to find it and provide a link.
My personal opinion is that we've kind of been sold a bill of goods, telling us that we need formal exercise, an exercise video, some piece of exercise equipment, a gym membership, in order to get the exercise we need. These things are fine if you have the time, but you obviously don't have the time.
200 years ago, people didn't have gym memberships, they stayed fit by doing everyday things.
So, my advice is to try to include more exercise in your everyday activities. When you take a potty break, find some stairs to go up and down for 5 minutes. When you would normally take stairs, go up them, then back down, then back up again. Stand up for a few minutes and march in place while taking calls, or between calls. Do kegel exercises while sitting at your job. (Not really exercise, but good for you just the same.)
Cumulative exercise is just as good as exercising for 1 hour at a time.
I had another idea, you could take one of those big exercise balls in to work to sit on, instead of a regular chair. Sitting on one of those helps to work your core, and you can kind of bounce on it, that would be a little exercise for your legs, too. Plus, they're much more comfortable than an office chair!
