Hi Joziel, I think maybe I wasn’t doing them enough previously. A specialist nurse told me years ago to do 10 squeezes a day but I recently got Louise Newson’s book and she recommends 30! So I’ve been trying to do that by setting the alarm on my phone. I agree they are a pain to do. I am on vaginal estradiol tablets which I think improved things a bit. I take 2 tablets per week.

The Squeezee app thing gives you an alert I think 3x a day to do it, and it has one of those enlarging and decreasing circles on the screen - so whilst it is getting bigger, you are squeezing more...

You can also buy some gadget thing from the US which is a vaginal dilator, connected by Bluetooth to your phone - and it can sense when you are squeezing and how hard. You then play a game on your phone which is like Mario Brothers  squeezing more to get your man on the screen to jump and relaxing when you want him to go under something. Wowsers, maybe it would be so much fun you'd have the fittest pelvic floor ever  I'm not sure it's available in the UK yet.

It's called Perifit - google it

MayB see a physiotherapist who is au fait with Kegel exercises, one can do the 'wrong' sort if not educated on what is required.

Joziel, thanks for the info. The app does sound like a more fun way to do them 😂

CLKD, I’m on the list for a physio but apparently it is long. The gynae nurse I saw did say I was doing them right. I will try and find out how long the list is. I don’t think private healthcare providers cover anything menopause related.

Let us know how you get on?

Will do. Thanks ladies x
