“Suffering from extreme vaginal tightness has been a topic that has dominated my life since I was a teen. I am in my mid-twenties now. I first became aware of my condition as a teen starting to use tampons. They were so uncomfortable for me to use. At the time, I assumed I was using them wrong or using the wrong ones. Even "slender" tampons were very difficult for me to use. I faced more challenges a year or two later when I had my first pelvic exam. I don't think any girl finds her first exam to be "fun," but mine was an utter disaster. Even the brief exam that I received was terribly painful and ended with me in tears. By this time I had generally given up on using tampons and just suffered through my annual exam. In college, when I tried sex for the first time, guess what? It was horrible for me! The pain and discomfort I had experienced using tampons and while at the gynecologist were magnified ten fold during sex. It was nearly impossible for me, never enjoyable, and could never last long. My girlfriends would talk about having orgasms during sex. But, "good sex" for me was when I managed not to cry during it. Several years later when I met the man that is now my husband I started to learn more about my condition and treatment for it. My gynecologist at the time recommended dilator therapy and I tried Intimate Rose products. It was difficult at first. But, over time, I was able to comfortably use larger and larger dilators to the point were sex was no longer painful and even enjoyable. My husband and I now have a wonderful sex life due to Intimate Rose! Thank you!”
“I'm middle 60's yrs. old. Have gone through menopause. I've been dealing with vaginal dryness & lack of intimate desire for my loving husband. We've shared a loving relationship of 47 yrs. of marriage. Vaginal discomfort was always on my mind during our intimacy. My gyn had prescribed suppository tablets which made me itch intensely - so she prescribed a cream, & that was worse than the suppository! I came across Intimate Rose on the internet, was intrigued by the name, very modest, proper, & respectful. So I opened up the site. I read EVERYTHING!! I purchased their Flora Bloom, Velvet Rose Lubricant, Boric Balance Vaginal Suppositories. These ladies know what they are doing!! I've felt relief from my dryness & itching day #2 on Intimate Rose products. The Velvet Rose lubricant has a delicate soft scent, very peaceful & very much comfortable! I don't complain & neither does my hubby. It's the perfect balance! We no longer are tossing away our retirement earnings on feminine prescriptions that gave me negative side affects. Thank you so much Intimate Rose, and may God continue to bless you all with wisdom in your profession! A Happy Married Couple.”
“After giving birth to 3 large babies and having 2 organs prolapse, I needed help to restore my pelvic floor. I’ve been going to PT for pelvic floor work for several months. It’s going OK, but after I started using the kegel weights, I started making better progress. With the weight inserted, you get feedback on how your muscles are doing. When I had some questions about using the weights, beyond the thorough description that comes with them, I sent an email to the company. The response was quick and helpful. All around, I’m pleased that I bought the Kegel Exercise System weights and am happy to be using this product.”
“I was born with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome which means I have a shorter than “normal” vagina length. Width is not an issue. Depth is. When I started dilating following diagnosis, the thought of trying to achieve 16cm in length looked very daunting, if not impossible and was therefore very demotivating. Also, at that time, there was also a lot of misinformation around what a vagina should accommodate regarding length. I started out with a vagina of 5cm, and though I have more than doubled that length, I struggled to achieve more than 11 to 12 cm. I questioned whether I could or should persevere. Dr. Amanda’s advice gave me the confidence to continue. Also, her AIS video is excellent and really gets the information across in an understanding and practical way. I wish I could have seen such a video when I was searching for this information early on! In any case she has made very clear to me, and now others, what no one else has regarding how to achieve the next cm - and the next. Well done and thank you so very much. This important information changes lives!”
“I have been thinking about getting Kegel’s for a while now as I’m getting older and wanted to avoid any “issues” like surgery down the road! I searched quite a bit and these Kegel’s from Intimate Rose seemed like the best ones around. They are excellent quality and there’s a graduation on the weights so any woman can find what would work for her. They are also BPA free, which was important to me. It took a bit to get used to, but I’ve found that the more I did it the easier it got. Only a few minutes a day makes a HUGE difference. Also very easy to follow directions! For anyone thinking that this might be a good idea for them...just get them! You won’t be disappointed. Love this product, thank you!”
“These weights are simply amazing! I’ve been suffering from loss of tightness for a while now and I had no where to turn. Too ashamed to ask (not the kind of thing that my family and friends talk about), and I was so embarrassed by it that I avoided relationships all together after my last one. No more dating until I can find a fix, I said to my self. I wasn’t feeling much anyway because it was so wide and I could tell he wasn’t feeling it either. One day, I came across this after searching extensively online for a solution and I ordered it after reading all the reviews (I am one of those people who only buy things with lots of good reviews and I try to read them all). I never write reviews on the other hand, but this has helped me so much when I thought that there was no solution out there except surgery. And if there is someone out there in my situation, please give this a try. I hope it will work for you as it did for me.”
“have so far had a great experience with this product. They are comfortable, easy to use, and of really good quality which it’s very important to me as something I use with my body and for my health. The seller is also very involved with the process and in helping with the use of the product. They are available for questions and concerns with the product.”
I don’t usually get excited about a product, but this exerciser works! After one week of use, I no longer have to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, something I have had to do every single night for the past 15 years. Additionally, when I jog, urine does not leak out as it often does. I am buying more for my friends and family. Would highly recommend for any women who would like better bladder control and tightening.
Great product!! It comes with step by step instructions and the packaging for storage is awesome. They also provide you with a small drawstring bag for traveling. I started about a week ago and I can already tell the difference. MUST TRY!!!
“These work very well. I am noticing a difference. I am 50 years old and I am gradually working up to heavier weights. I love this product and highly recommend it. My OB-GYN is happy that I am using weights instead of trying kegels on my own without weights.”
“As a physical therapist, I have found these weights to be so helpful. I love the quality and the ability to progress my patient’s treatment program as they are able. As a mother of 3 (vaginal births 8lbs.2oz, 8lbs.13 oz and 10lbs.6oz.) girls, I have had some issues over the years and have done my kegel exercises like everyone else. As a pelvic floor practitioner the weight training brings the strengthening to a whole new level. I highly recommend this weight system both personally and professionally.
“These weights got me back to how I was before kids! No more incontinence issues either. I had tried a few other types, which are shaped like a ball, and they didn’t work for me. These tool just 15 minutes a day, and within a month I saw a noticeable positive change. I recommend them for anyone who wants to feel more like they did before having kids.”
“I had a recurring Bv for about 6 months. I went to the clinic, to the gynecologist, and was given treatments in the form of gels and pills. But It wasn't until I tried Intimate Rose's Boric Acid that I finally got rid of the discomfort and discharge caused by BV. By day 7 of its use, my vagina felt, smelled and even looked healthy. There were no side effects during or after its use. I can finally, confidently, enjoy sex with my partner. I am super thankful.”
