Ok. This is awkward, I know. I'm sorry. This is going to get NSFW so you can still close this window NOW!

Ok!
When I started writing this blog I thought I would exclusively focus on Astrology.
However it is kind of becoming just a personal space to share all of my interests. And, what can I say? I'm not just an Astrology enthusiast. I'm also a scientist, an avid yogini, a music enthusiast, a RIE mommy and a woman who had a natural birth which left me with a broken hoo-ha.
Yup.
I remember the first time when I peed my pants as an adult. I was walking home, pushing a stroller and it was a cold winter night. I was thinking the whole way "I should have peed before starting! I should have peed!" and at some point I just felt a warmness spreading in my pants (which instantly turned into coldness, because it was damn cold). I felt incredibly sad. To think one year ago I was a fitness trainer and now I was peeing my pants. Luckily I was like 5 minutes away from home and it was dark so no one saw me . (although, rationally there is nothing to be ashamed! it's not like I peed myself because I was drunk as a sailor!)
At that moment I started looking into ways to improve my pelvic floor tone, when I came across the Kegelmaster. I'm not gonna lie, it looks pretty terrifying and way too costly for the hard plastic it's made of. The name is also terrible. sounds like the bad cousin of terminator, which it is not something you want to put between your legs (and that's where the cons end). This year I finally went ahead and bought it as a Christmas gift for myself (even though it was middle of November). The selling point for me was the resistance part, since I couldn't find any other training device that used similar biodynamics. (I do own a set of Yoni Eggs, which might get reviewed later though).
Now, after a few weeks (3) of consistent use I am starting to feel the effects and I must say I'm pleased. No, I'm not opening bottles with my yoni but I do notice that I can compress longer and harder than before with my vaginal muscles. The yoga queef (it's a real thing that I should also review hmm) it is still there but with diminished intensity. I'm also more aware of my whole area down there. and (just because I have to mention it), yes, the sex experience has also been doing better.
As I said, this has only been three weeks and as any exercise I guess consistence and practice makes perfect but so far I'm very happy with the results, so I will leave the link here in case that you, as me, were googling "peeing postpartum what helps" . (this is an associated link, obv)

A word of advice, if you do get a Kegelmaster, get yourself a water based lubricant. Otherwise it can be an uncomfortable experience.
