Hardcore pelvic floor: A workout routine to keep you fit down there

Pelvic floor muscles support your uterus, bladder, small intestine, and rectum. They contribute to spine stability. They help you not pee when your best friend makes you howl with laughter. They keep the back door shut so you don’t have to know what fecal incontinence is. And strengthening them may help women who have difficulty reaching orgasm.

Think you’re too young to care about kegels or pelvic floor exercises? Think again. These are the muscles that contract during orgasm and are responsible for the amount of sensation you feel during sex. Keeping them strong at any age can lead to easier arousal, more intense orgasms, and better sex overall.
