Maree Fruhstorfer

Hi, my name’s Maree Fruhstorfer and welcome to our website. I’m a proud Mum of Kegelmaster - Mareetwo beautiful children and here is my story...

I had my first child two weeks after my 30th birthday. I was lucky enough to have a relatively straightforward natural birth. The second stage was fairly quick for a first timer, I had no tearing and little Nicholas was born a nice wee 6 lb 2. Recovery was quick and after 6 weeks my husband and I were able to resume a normal love life again. To be honest I questioned whether childbirth really had altered my pelvic floor at all. That was then. Without feeling the necessity to exercise my pelvic floor, I never did. As the years went by I honestly started to feel the tightness and strength of my pelvic floor muscles start to wane. “How could this be?” I remember thinking, “I had given birth years ago – everything should definitely be back to normal by now”. But little did I know that without any concerted effort to exercise, “those” muscles had started to atrophy (weaken and lose tone).

I was 35 when my husband and I decided to have another child. I remember being genuinely concerned about the state of my vaginal muscles after a second birth. I was already starting to notice a little leaking after a major coughing fit or when I had to lift something heavy. Still I was none the wiser as to what options I had. I had never been told that I should be exercising my pelvic floor, even though I was preparing for a second pregnancy. I can remember thinking if things got too bad after bubby number 2, there was always surgery.

The birth of Christina was more traumatic than Nicholas, she was a pound heavier and the birth was so much more intense. At one stage my Mum and poor hubby were worried sick that I wasn’t going to get the wee lass out. But I did. However this time there was no quick recovery. Nothing bounced back to honeymoon fresh. My pelvic floor felt ‘had it’. My husband and I waited a lot longer this time to resume intimacy. Only to discover my fears turn into reality. A lot of the sensation had gone. As hard I was trying to squeeze myself tighter, it wasn’t doing a thing. My orgasms were so weak I couldn’t even tell if I had had one or not. My hubby was wonderful, reassuring me everything was just the same and to give it time. But I knew everything was not the same. So many times I would turn over in tears. I no longer felt like the loving woman he had married. And as with the birth of my first child, things were only going to get worse, not better.

Soon after, my hubby (who is Austrian) had to return to Austria for a couple of months. It was at this stage that I decided there had to be something I could do. I searched high and low until I found a product that looked like it could really work. With my excitement (and lets face it, desperation) I ordered a Kegelmaster from America. When it arrived, I couldn’t wait to start using it. A tiny part of me was a little skeptical; after all I had never heard of it before and certainly didn’t know of anyone else who had used one. But after using it daily for only a couple of weeks, I honestly started noticing an improved tightness in my vaginal muscles. Soon after I noticed my problem with minor incontinence had gone.

While having a catch up on the phone one afternoon to my friend Michelle, I brought up the subject of our post pregnancy pelvic floors. Let’s face it, it isn’t exactly coffee group conversation, we females don’t readily talk about something so personal – unless we are making wise cracks and trying to laugh it off. I knew she had been suffering similar complaints and tried to convince her to buy a Kegelmaster as well. “It works”, I told her “Honestly, give it a go”. So she did…and the rest is history! We are both so happy with this product; we wanted to let all women know of its existence.

I must admit it now angers me that we are bombarded by advertisements for incontinence pads when there is another option out there. It irks me to think there are so many women living silently with all these complaints when there is an easy solution available.

Please don’t be another surgery statistic or incontinence pads consumer, take control of your own health and ultimately your life and give the Kegelmaster a go. It worked for me and with a little bit of commitment it will work for you as well.

Kegelmaster - MichelleHi, my name is Michelle Witehira. Welcome to our website. I am so glad you are reading through our site as I truly believe in this product and really want to share it with women.

To be honest I am a little embarrassed writing the following, but I think my pride takes a back seat to women learning there is an alternative available to assist with incontinence, prolapse, changes to your body after childbirth, menopause, and sexual dysfunctions.

After the birth of my first child at age 33, like many women my pelvic muscles just did not bounce back to what they were before pregnancy. I suffered with silence the indignation of stress incontinence when sneezing, coughing, running, or indeed any form of physical activity. Outdoor mother and daughter games were limited as running around on the back lawn inevitably caused leakage, bouncing on the trampoline was just simply out of the question and even kicking a ball caused mishaps.

Just before I discovered the Kegelmaster we had moved to a high pollen area and I’d spent most of the summer suffering from hayfever and sneezing constantly. I was having to wear liners every day and could not leave the house without an emergency change of clothing. I can talk about this now as the problem is remedied but at the time it was quite mortifying and I didn’t mention it to anyone, suffering quietly and believing that this was just a natural consequence of childbirth and I’d have to live with it.

On another subject is something I thought at the time was completely unrelated – my husband had been complaining for a while that things weren’t the same ‘down there’ and hadn’t been since our daughter was born. I remember being in tears one time after a particularly disastrous love-making session and wondering how we were going to live out the rest of our lives happily when our sex life was obviously doomed.

I found out much later that I’d had a vaginal prolapse after my daughter’s birth, but, moving on from that, my life completely changed from the moment I discovered the Kegelmaster.

It was in talking to my friend Maree who had recently had her second child and was experiencing similar problems to mine. Not being one to just accept things she had been doing some research and found a product which promised fast and spectacular results, and when we spoke she had been using this product (the Kegelmaster) for a few weeks already. She was quite amazed with what it was doing and urged me to try one also so we could compare results.

I must admit I was skeptical at first but from here on my story only gets positive. I started using the Kegelmaster every day as suggested. Within the first week my incontinence had almost disappeared. I was astonished but elated! By week two my confidence was starting to come back. I was able to run, jump, sneeze without a problem. I waited until week three before testing out the results on my husband. I was up to tension setting 3 (out of 15 settings) at the time. And the most incredible thing happened - my husband had to tell me to stop squeezing as I was too tight! When I relaxed we had some of the best sex ever! And I am still moving up the resistance settings!

Another bonus of the Kegelmaster is one you will read about in our Enhancing Intimacy section, the exercises will cure that feeling of numbness ‘down there’ that occurs after childbirth. I didn’t realize that this is directly related to the pelvic muscles not being where they should be. Once these are back in shape, all the circulation and sensation returns to the area and you can really enjoy again.

So please read through our site and know that everything on here is true and factual and that this is possibly the best single purchase you will make in your life. Please talk to your mothers, sisters and friends who spend a small fortune on liners and pads or who might be considering unnecessary incontinence or prolapse surgery and persuade them to try the Kegelmaster first. It really does work!

Free yourself and enjoy life to the fullest. It’s time we empowered women!
