If you always thought vibrators were phallic and too scared to try one – Eleanor debunks these myths as she talks us through the vibrator she developed as a beginner one and for those pelvic health issues like pelvic pain and dyspareunia (painful penetration) which are often secondary side effects of a primary condition and often not talked about but we are here to do so!
Vibrators can be scary, shopping for one even more so. We take away the fear as we discuss just how beneficial using the correct one can be for all stages of hormonal changes whether it be postnatally, perimenopause, menopause or following surgery or cancer treatments.
Eleanor talks us through the design of hers and why its teardrop shape allows for different sensations and focusses on different areas and how it fits in palm of your hand.
Kaito fits beautifully between medical devices and pleasure products meeting you where you are on your intimate health journey and as an entry point into sexual awareness and rehab.
We discuss how research shows that vibration can be helpful for muscle relaxation and improving blood flow – both often being aims of treatment for pelvic health conditions.
We talk about lubricants, oestrogen, changes in sensitivity with hormonal changes and more and finish with some very interesting chat about vaginal microbiome and a new product she is involved with in this space.
