Pelvic floor: Meaning, Uses and What to Buy

The pelvic floor is a hammock-like layer of muscles at the base of the pelvis that supports the bladder, the bowel and, in women, the uterus. These are the muscles you squeeze to stop the flow of urine. Like any muscle group, they can be trained with Kegel exercises, on their own or with Kegel balls.

Why it matters when buying

Many people first hear the term when looking at Kegel balls. Learning to find and relax these muscles is part of the training. For pain, leakage or recovery after birth, a doctor or pelvic physiotherapist is the right first step, not a toy.

What to look for

  • A simple guided plan if you are new to Kegels
  • Kegel balls only once you can find the muscles
  • A light starting weight
