Q&A: Egg Freezing, Fecal Smearing, Girthy Penis

This week we’re answering two of our favorite listener questions we’ve received recently:  First, we dive into a topic nobody talks about enough: fecal smearing and the endless wipe cycle. We discuss how pelvic floor dysfunction, muscle coordination, stool consistency, and more can contribute (and what you can do about it). Then we’re talking about why penetration can feel wildly different from partner to partner, what actually creates pleasurable sensation, things that could impair sensation, reasons a partner could feel too large, and why your vagina is not too picky or broken. This question leads us down a wide array of topics: purity culture, nervous system regulation, how you can use masturbation to help you discover your pelvic floor dysfunction, and more. Plus we talk about: what good penetration is actually supposed to feel like. Bonus in this episode- Amanda shares an important life update! As always, we’re blending pelvic floor education with zero shame and lots of honesty. Thank you for your questions and support pelvic freaks! Have a question or story?

Everything You Need To Know About Pelvic Floor Dilators

We get so many questions about dilators, and honestly, we get it. When people first see them in the clinic, the reaction is usually something like… “Wait, that’s for WHAT?” 😅 But here’s the thing: dilators can be incredibly helpful tools, and they don’t have to feel intimidating or scary. We highly recommend dilators for people with chronic pain from things like endometriosis or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). We also recommend them for people navigating pain with sex or difficulty tolerating pelvic exams that are needed for medical care. In this episode, we’re breaking it all down. This is your go to guide for getting started with dilators. We cover: • how to actually use them • how to habit stack them into your routine • tips to make them more comfortable and less painful • why we sometimes recommend dilators over a wand • how to build the confidence to start using them And don’t forget to check out the links below for discounts on some of our favorite pelvic floor PT approved brands!
