“Here’s the personal massager you ordered.” the dirty old delivery man said.
Oh my gosh, WHAT!?!?!?! “I did NOT order a personal massager!” I practically yelled at him.
Sorry about the messy writing...still have to do everything with my left hand
“You’re Sheri ____?”
“Yeah, but I didn’t order any personal massager!”
“And feminine moisturiser.” He read off the customs declaration on the package.
I gave him a weird look.
Of course it probably didn’t help that I was dripping wet with only a pink towel around myself. It was 6 days before Christmas and we were waiting on a big package full of all our Christmas presents that we ordered from the states. I wasn’t about to miss the arrival of that package.
I was in the middle of my morning shower when I heard the knock on the door. Sure I could have let him leave a note and then picked it up at the post office. But I have 2 kids. And 2 hands. That leaves no hands for carrying the package from the post office to the car. Did I mention that the post office is on the busiest street in my town?
So I jumped out of that shower like a drowned rat on the scent of cheese and excitedly ran for my front door, glad that the Christmas package was actually arriving before Christmas.
“Well, enjoy your surprise package then.” Yeah thanks old man.
I looked at the package in my hands wondering who the heck would send me a “personal massager.”
“Kegel exerciser. Feminine Moisturiser.” The customs declaration said. Oh…It was just some products to review on my blog. So why was the dirty old delivery man telling me it was a personal massager? And even if it was, no one would ever, EVER want the delivery man to say it out loud.
I jumped at the chance to review a pelvic floor exerciser for Intimina. We all know how child birth weakens the pelvic floor. I couldn’t even jump rope without a little pee coming out. I wrote a blog post about it. So embarrassing! Add another birth and I was in serious need of some pelvic floor help.
Kegel exercisers
I have to say I was a little intimidated by the fact that I had to actually put something…er...in there. I still have memories of my over zealous use of the epi-no when I was pregnant with Hannah. Long story short, I over inflated it (it’s supposed to stretch you out a bit so you don’t tear giving birth), and it made me bleed. Ick.
When I finally tried out the little pink kegel exerciser, it was fine. It didn’t hurt, and once in place, I didn’t even notice it.
The Laselle Kegel Exercisers work by “providing a solid object for you to flex around for more effective strengthening.” The weighted ball inside causes vibrations that prompt your pelvic floor to contract and relax. I couldn’t find anywhere on their website or the packaging how long you’re supposed to use them each day, so I just went about my chores with it for about 20 minutes, with some flex and holding.
An email from Intima let me know that it’s like any other exercise; you start with a few reps and a small amount of time and then increase to suit your needs.
All I know is: I can jump up and down (I can’t really jump rope, my arm is still in a cast…), and no pee comes out. Kegel Exercisers: $15.95AUD. Jumping without soiling my underpants: priceless.
