The pelvic floor has become a hot topic. But how much do you know about your pelvic floor muscles?

We hear the term often but many women don't realize what their pelvic floor muscles do on a daily basis. Your pelvic floor works around the clock to support your bladder, colon, rectum, and sexual organs. They're the versatile set of muscles that help your bladder and rectum relax and contract on demand. They're also the same muscles that contract during sex.

And when they're too loose or too tight (or with imbalance), problems can occur. If they're too loose from being weak or damaged, it can lead to urinary leakage or pelvic organ prolapse. If the pelvic floor muscles are too tight, it can lead to difficult bowel movements or pain when having sex.

Many women experience these issues but often attribute it to aging — seeing it as an inevitable and lasting ailment — and don't seek solutions to alleviate or cure their problems associated with having a weak pelvic floor.

Just as people exercise and eat well to improve their heart health, there are steps you can take to improve your pelvic health. And there are plenty of ways you can strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. 

Our yoni eggs, also known as vagina crystals (or pelvic floor crystals!), are carved and polished from raw crystals that are powerfully healing, cleansing, and activating. Incorporating yoni eggs into your meditation practice, yoga routine, or kegel exercises can aid you in your healing, spiritually and physically, including your pelvic floor. Their weight allows them to create a resistance training effect for your yoni, which may strengthen your pelvic floor muscles better than just kegels alone. 

Note: Women with medically diagnosed excessive pelvic floor tightness or other pelvic floor issues should address these issues with the help of a pelvic health specialist before the internal use of the eggs.
