Today we have a special little treat for you. We offer up weekly toy reviews on the site, but thought it was time we changed things up for you, dedicated readers.
All of our reviewers are relatively young – to put it in porn terms, we’d be classified as teens and MILFs. There’s not a cougar or GILF in the bunch. While every generation thinks that they invented sex, we’re smart enough to know that’s not true and that there’s plenty to learn from our friends with a little more life experience.
Besides looking for a little knowledge, we thought our older readers would appreciate to hear from a peer occasionally, so we invited our favorite cougar to review the Natural Contours Energie for us! We really appreciate her perspective and hope you will too!
For years I’ve known about the benefits of kegel exercises, as my gynecologist advised me to do them, but I haven’t done much about. They are done to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles that can be weakened by childbirth and age. These exercises are helpful in controlling incontinence and to tighten the vaginal walls to aid in better sexual pleasure.
Having had three children and being post-menopausal, these exercises would be especially valuable to me now. So when I heard about the Energie, a kegel exerciser made by Natural Contours, I was interested in trying it.
The device is shaped like a barbell, made of metal covered in plastic and is phthalate-free. It weighs a little over a pound and comes in a nice plastic box. The Engergie is very easy to use and care for, and even comes with instructions!
Basically, you insert it in your vagina and squeeze your kegel muscles. As you contract your muscles, you’ll feel the resistance of the device, which helps to strengthen the muscles. It is easier to do the exercises with the Energie than without it because you can feel your muscles contracting around something. It’s not the most fun thing to do, since I don’t love exercising, but it only takes 5-10 minutes a day (I spend more time walking on the treadmill.) Certainly the benefits of strengthening my pelvic muscles make a few minutes of exercise worthwhile.
Since I just started using it, I don’t know the long term-effects, but as with any exercise program, it will take some time.
To sum up, the Energie is relatively inexpensive, easy to care for, and easy to use. If used consistently, it is very beneficial in helping to strengthen pelvic muscles, which can make a huge difference in women’s health and sexual issues.
Add some bounce to your step with the Natural Contours’ Engerie!
