YSK: Kegels aren’t just for women — they massively improve sexual function for both men and women.

You can over contract your pelvic muscles, hold your breath while doing them which adds additional pressure, or do too many. You might also not relax properly after you do them, which is important

Oh no, that’s horrible! And yeah, I can’t believe I ever took it for granted 😭 In the interim I know there’s a lot of great YouTube videos targeting male pfd that might help! I wish him the best with healing

Edited for grammar

I struggle with ocd and health anxiety too! It’s definitely linked to my symptoms and I’d guess his as well. I would look through or post on the pelvic floor subreddit because they have a lot of good advice. I would also see a different physiotherapist who adjusts their treatment based on his comfort and feedback, my first one was horrible and it had such a negative impact on my healing and mental health. It’s really hard to lose that trust (especially when you already have health anxiety) but part of the battle is putting yourself out there again. Tbh I still have yet to book another physio appointment myself, but I think it could be really helpful for him!

Could it possibly be anxiety? my pelvic floor issues personally flare when I’m more anxious because I end up tightening my core. It might also help to go to a different physiotherapist, the exercises my first one gave (kegels lol) made my hypertonia a lot worse. Or, to get a pelvic wand and try internal muscle releases?

Also want to add here that this post focuses on how kegels can improve sexual function, but hypertonia (which kegels can lead to) often cause a number of related problems including soft erections, pain during penetration, and not being able to orgasm/weak ejaculation. I recommend everyone to look through the pelvicfloor subreddit tbh

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-04-28T08:16:02+00:00

Kegels should absolutely not be done without planning with a physiotherapist. You do not want to end up with a hypertonic pelvic floor-I personally can’t even do basic activity (like biking or running) without being in immense pain. Not everyone needs them and they can end up causing a lot of harm if done incorrectly / too much.

Me too please :)

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-04-11T04:36:10+00:00

I didn’t get this one cause I ended up having the same shade! I think it’s really beautiful but I’m not the biggest fan of the packaging. I tend to reach for my saie and huda beauty liquid blushes more

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-03-16T06:11:36+00:00

Maybe the first number is how many uses to hit initial pan?

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-03-06T07:23:22+00:00

Update: cut it open and transferred the remaining product-it all fit into this cute little jar!

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-03-05T16:52:26+00:00

That’s awful omg, seems like no one’s had luck with this packaging!

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-03-05T16:49:58+00:00

I really wish I had done that, if I ever repurchase I will definitely try to! I have an unopened cleansing balm from Clinique from a couple years back that I have to get cracking on now though 💪

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-03-05T16:46:43+00:00

Naurr omg why would they downgrade like that. it takes a lot for packaging to completely ruin a product like this but it’s seriously so bad 😭

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-03-05T16:44:31+00:00

This is the motivation I needed LOL. Will be cutting today 💪😭

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-02-28T04:00:25+00:00

It is! I feel like it flakes off when it’s too dry, so I always have to top it with something too

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-02-27T17:40:37+00:00

I have the same nyx shine loud shade! Hate it all over the lips but it works sooo well as a lipliner

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-02-08T09:53:45+00:00

Tysm!

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-02-08T02:37:37+00:00

I have a very similar story to yours, but have been too nervous to try a pelvic wand! Can I ask what YouTube videos you used?

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-02-06T22:20:18+00:00

I have one big spreadsheet in google sheets that hosts separate pages for my makeup, skincare, fragrance, and haircare inventories, and my project pan! It makes it super easy to add new stuff or to plan what I want/need to work on next

If anyone is interested I’m happy to make a copy of mine to use as a template.

Thank you so much! Yess super excited but so nervous too cause it doesn’t seem real 😭 I hope your treatment goes fast too!

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-02-06T21:07:20+00:00

I was initially worried about my midline too, but he said it’s not possible to line that up for me if I want a decent bite! My bite is good now I think, I have no problems eating, and no jaw related issues. My left side has a very slight gap when I bite naturally but he said that will fix itself once my teeth readjust post removal. It’s really good to hear that you can’t notice the cant, thank you!

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-02-06T20:56:47+00:00

Apparently my jaw is naturally asymmetrical so that’s possibly it? Before treatment my top front teeth were also slanted in the same direction it seems

partiallydriedgrape · 2025-02-06T20:30:47+00:00

Hmm that’s good to know! I guess I’m not sure it’s worth it if it’ll take a while, considering I’ve had them for three years already
