Pelvic floor training after childbirth with vaginal balls
Restore your strength from within through calm, safe and effective training!
Giving birth is a peak performance by your body. But after that performance comes recovery – and that requires attention, especially for your pelvic floor. Many women only realize how important those deep muscles are after giving birth. Whether you experience light urine leakage, a heavy feeling in your lower abdomen, or reduced sensation during sex: these are all signs that your pelvic floor could use some support.
Fortunately, there is a simple and effective way to support your recovery: vaginal balls .
WHY IS PELVIC FLOOR TRAINING SO IMPORTANT AFTER CHILDBIRTH?
During pregnancy and childbirth, your pelvic floor muscles stretch and weaken. They have to bear increasing weight for nine months, and then they have to deal with the impact of childbirth itself – especially with a vaginal delivery. Even a cesarean section can put pressure on the muscles.
If you do nothing, symptoms may persist or even worsen. Consider:
- Urinary incontinence when sneezing, coughing or laughing
- A prolapse (feeling of “something falling out”)
- Less intense pleasure during sex
- Difficulty holding back gas
- Lower back pain or pelvic instability
By consciously training your pelvic floor, you give your body back the strength it needs – from within.
WHEN CAN YOU START USING VAGINAL BALLS AFTER CHILDBIRTH?
It's important not to start too early. Your body needs rest. For an uncomplicated vaginal birth, you can usually start after 6 weeks. If you had a cesarean section or had stitches, it's wise to wait 8 to 12 weeks – or follow the advice of your doctor or midwife.
One important condition: using vaginal balls should n't be painful . If so, you're probably not ready yet.
HOW DO YOU START WITH PELVIC FLOOR TRAINING?
STEP 1: FEEL YOUR MUSCLES
Before you insert anything, it's important to learn to feel where your pelvic floor is. A good test: try holding your urine for a moment on the toilet. The muscles you tense are your pelvic floor muscles. Don't practice this as a proper toilet workout, but purely as a test.
STEP 2: CHOOSE THE RIGHT VAGINA BALLS
For the first time, it's best to choose light, larger balls made of soft silicone. For example:
- Satisfyer Balls Set (three weights)
- LELO Luna Beads (modular system)
Start with the lightest weight.
STEP 3: GENTLE START
Insert the balls like a tampon, using some water-based lubricant. Start with 5 to 10 minutes a day . The goal isn't to feel the balls moving, but to have your muscles working to keep them inside.
HOW DO YOU TRAIN WITH VAGINAL BALLS?
- Wear them during quiet moments – for example, while cleaning, walking or cooking.
- Consciously tense and relax your muscles – gently squeeze the balls and release.
- Build up slowly – wear them for a little longer each time and switch to a slightly heavier weight after a few weeks.
- Consistency is key – better to do 15 minutes three times a week than an hour once a week.
Note: You don't have to train every day . Your muscles also need rest to grow stronger.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Most women notice a difference within 3 to 6 weeks:
- Less unwanted urine loss
- Stronger and more stable feeling in your core
- More control over your muscles during sex
- Increased self-confidence in your body
And perhaps the best part: you build a bond with your body. Many women report feeling more connected to their pelvic area and sexuality.
COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
- Starting too fast : Your body needs time.
- Overtraining : Start light, getting stronger will come naturally.
- Exercising with pain : pain = stop. Consult your doctor.
- Not having enough patience : muscles take weeks to get stronger.
- Don't take rest days : Rest is essential for muscle building.
FINALLY: YOUR PELVIC FLOOR IS WORTH IT
Vaginal balls are a small tool with a big impact. They help you recover, become stronger, and re-embrace your femininity—at your own pace, within your limits. You don't have to be an athlete. Just someone who wants to feel confident in their own body again.
