Okay moms, it’s about to get real up in here.
I’m just gonna preface this by saying that after two vaginal births, my pelvic floor is S.H.O.T. Like, absolutely shot.
I honestly don’t know how women of old used to pop out gaggles of children vaginally and still have any sort of control in their yonis. As much as we have fought to be able to wear yoga pants and short skirts, maybe they were on to something with the multiple layers of long skirts!
This is one of those things no one tells you about having kids… you get a lovely introduction to pelvic floor weakness when you’re in a maternity store with your second kiddo trying on bathing suit bottoms and you sneeze and totally pee your pants.
Yes, that happened. I had to ask the store clerk through the curtain for a pair of their underwear so I could change mine, lol. Thank God I didn’t have my pants on at the time!
Since delivering that second kiddo, things haven’t gotten much better, unfortunately. Sex isn’t as enjoyable (but that’s another subject for another day), I refuse to do yoga in public because my yoni insists on loudly letting everyone know she’s there any time I lift a leg in any open way in down dog. True story.
My latest weak yoni experience came this week when I decided to try jogging for the first time since getting pregnant with kiddo #2.
I felt pretty good at the start. My breathing was good, my feet and ankles were loosening up. Then it started. This trickling I could feel going down my inner thighs. Thank God I am usually out when it’s dark outside.
When I got home and got inside where I could see, the inner thighs of my yoga pants were soaked! My pelvic floor is so weak at this point that had I been in daylight or had colored pants on (thankfully they were black that night), it could have been a pretty embarrassing experience.
So why am I telling you all about peeing my pants? Because I know I’m not the only one with this issue, and it’s time to talk about it so we can help each other get stronger and stay dry, ammiright?!
While I work on strengthening this crucial muscle with my yoni egg, which I know is going to take time, I had to come up with a solution so I could continue to jog… and let’s face it, a bunch of layered long skirts would make me stand out more than the wet marks, lol.
For help, I turned to my period undies from Thinx. EUREKA! I walked. I ran. I came home dry. I call that a #momwin. You guys have to check these out - for multiple reasons. I LOVE them for the lighter days of my period when I don’t really need a tampon or pad, and they will not be my running buddies as well. They recently came out with athletic shorts as well in the same amazing magical material - PERFECT!!
If you suffer from the same musically wet yoni problems as I, PLEASE do yourself a favor and check out their site… like right now! I am not getting paid to write this. I am sharing this win with you because all ladies with this problem deserve to move and stay dry.
Until next time!
