Pelvic Floor & Intimate Wellness
Pelvic floor & intimate wellness
Strength you can feel.
Bladder control, sensation during sex, and support that changes through pregnancy, birth and perimenopause. It is a muscle, and it responds like one.
Which one
Soma to start, Soma+ to finish
Soma at $59 is a four piece set with a remote, and the vibration helps you find the muscle. Soma+ at $69 is five progressive weights, the full course.
How long
Six to twelve weeks
A few minutes daily beats a long session weekly. Nothing useful happens in the first fortnight, which is exactly when most people stop.
The technique
Lift, then fully release
Inward and upward, never bearing down. The release matters as much as the squeeze, and skipping it is how a weak floor becomes a tight one.
Before you buy
This is not right for everyone.
A weak pelvic floor is common. So is an overactive one, and the two feel similar from the inside while needing opposite treatment. If sex is painful, or things feel permanently tight, or there is heaviness or dragging, strengthening can make it worse.
Read the full guide first, or see a pelvic health physiotherapist. One appointment tells you which you have.
