Juno Weighted Pelvic Exerciser by Dr Laura Berman

AUD$49.95

Quantity:

A weighted pelvic floor exerciser made of seamless Lucite, with progressively heavier stainless steel weights sealed inside, offering a range of exercise options.

Description

The Juno comes with manufacturer's instructions (see under Specifications), attractive packaging and a lilac gauze carry bag.

If you stand in front of a mirror whilst exercising in line with the manufacturer's instructions, you will see the Juno visibly "lift" when you perform a contraction, providing you with reassuring visual feedback. Every Juno is accompanied by a simple guide to checking that you are contracting your pelvic floor muscles correctly before you begin your exercise program.

The Juno comes from a range of products designed and marketed by the Berman Center, a US sex therapy centre founded by Dr Laura Berman. It is extremely popular in the US.

For information on the recommended frequency, number of repetitions and duration of your exercise program, check out the current guidelines on how to exercise your pelvic floor muscles.

Although the manufacturer's instructions suggest working from the smaller, lighter ball to the larger heavier ball, we believe that the Juno offers more challenge if used differently. The weight of the Juno remains the same, regardless of which ball is inserted. Therefore, the greatest challenge to the pelvic floor muscles is to hold the Juno with your vaginal muscles only (ie no hand support) whilst in a standing position, with only the smallest end of the Juno inserted. At this point your muscles are holding and lifting the full weight of the Juno, but are required to clench very tightly to keep the 1.25cm small ball in place.

Exercising with the Juno in this way requires care and experience, as the device may break if dropped onto a hard floor. It should definitely only be attempted after a long-term regular exercise regime as outlined in the manufacturer's instructions above.

As with all our innovative exercise aids, potential users are advised to consult a health professional before embarking on a new exercise program to ensure it is suitable for their needs.

Manufacturer's recommendations
for use:

Use internally. Insert gradually over time and use according to your comfort level. For beginners, use the lighter weight (smallest ball) while standing by inserting the smaller end and supporting the other end gently with the palm of your hand. You can work your way to a heavier weight, first by inserting up to the second ball and then by turning Juno around and inserting the largest end first while squeezing the vaginal muscles around it. You should support the weight by holding non-inserted end until you eventually work up to holding the heaviest weight in without support. Use with a water, oil or silicone-based lubricant. Clean after each use: Immerse in soapy water.
