Hi Jackie,
I'm not sure about the aids, but you may want to do a search on the FitMom Forum. This is usually a source of trouble for pregnant women and new moms. I know Sheila gave an excellent and detailed break-down as well as I series of exercises to do, progressively harder. Now, that was on the old forum, but I imagine you may still be able to find it if you do a search. Hope that helps, I know this can be an annoying problem!

Hi...I don't know about other exercises then Kegels to strengthen the pelvic floor, but just keep doing them. If you're having trouble targeting the specific muscles...do the Kegels while urinating to stop the flow and then you'll know 'how' you should be doing them. I have read articles saying that doing Kegels doesn't help but I say it certainly can't hurt! And there have been numerous studies done on children who are bedwetters...having them do kegels to strengthen the pelvic floor and doing this exercise has helped many children overcome bedwetting so that is proof enough for me!
I try to do Kegels at every opportunity...sitting having tea in the morning, driving in the car, sitting on bleachers for ballgames, while in church. Anytime I think about Kegels I do a few because I've carried four pregnancies and I do not want incontinence to be a problem for me in later years.

Hi:
This was an area I was very concerned with throughout and after my two pregnancies. I used to do the ones imbedded in the original Firm workouts which helped somewhat but then I just got tired of it. I found the kegelmaster on a message board about two years ago and ordered it. I think the website is www.kegelmaster2000.com, ot at least it was when I ordered it. There's a lot of research and questions and answers there that helped me. It uses progressive weights to help you get stronger.
Hope this helps!

I checked out the website. You've had the kegelmaster for two years now? Does it help?
I have had a weak pelvic floor ever since I was a little girl. Very embarassing when you're 7yo or 16yo giggling with girlfriends. Two pregnancies made matters even worse. And kegels just don't seem to do the trick.
