what it claims

Using five simple and affordable tools—a foot stool, a pelvic massage cane, elastic bands, a vulvar balm, and a water-based lubricant—can help release tension, strengthen supporting muscles, and optimize daily intimate comfort.

Regarding the foot stool, a prospective intervention study by Modi et al. (2019) published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology confirms that it optimizes anatomical alignment to facilitate natural evacuation and reduce strain. For the massage cane, efficacy is based on observational studies and clinical consensus that validate its use for targeting and relaxing deep muscle trigger points. Strengthening the glutes and hips using elastic bands is supported by a randomized controlled trial (RCT) by Martin-Alguacil et al. (2020), which demonstrates the direct synergy between these muscle groups and pelvic stability. Finally, the use of moisturizing care and gentle lubricants is widely recommended by expert consensus, notably the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), to protect skin sensitivity during hormonal fluctuations. All of these recommendations are therefore scientifically coherent and highly pragmatic.

More from Dr. Sara Reardon

Painful orgasms are not inevitable and can be relieved through techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing, CBD suppositories, the use of pelvic dilators/wands, and pelvic floor physical therapy.

To urinate in a public restroom without sitting, you must avoid hovering in an unstable position (which contracts the pelvic muscles and blocks the bladder). Instead, squat while holding firmly onto the door handle or the wall to stabilize your body, and take deep breaths to facilitate relaxation.

To urinate more effectively in public restrooms (such as a porta-potty), it is necessary to avoid maintaining a 'chair' position (an unsupported squat), as this contracts the pelvic floor. Instead, favor a squatting position with support (hands on the door or wall), accompanied by deep breathing to promote relaxation.

Other advice in the Register that leans on the same research.

To facilitate bowel movements and reduce pressure on the pelvic floor, it is recommended to adopt a squatting position on the toilet by placing the knees higher than the hips, without necessarily using an expensive accessory.

Urinary leakage (especially when sneezing) is not an inevitable fate of aging or motherhood; it can be prevented and corrected by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.
