Perimenopause isn’t just hot flashes and mood swings. It’s feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and unheard.

Many women report feeling positive changes after just a few sessions with their Cooch Ball, with noticeable improvements in awareness and sensation within the first 2-3 weeks of consistent practice. Your journey is unique, but committing to a consistent Cooch Ball practice as you work your way up to the optimal 3 minutes a day can accelerate your progress and connection to your pelvic floor.

The Cooch Ball works by creating gentle, targeted pressure on your pelvic floor muscles, encouraging increased blood flow and oxygen to this often-neglected area. By sitting on the ball and engaging in simple movements and breathing techniques, you activate, strengthen and release the tissues around these muscles while simultaneously improving your awareness of this vital region, helping you reconnect to your body's natural functions and sensations. Like a plant needs sunlight and water to flourish, your muscles need oxygen-rich, nutrient-rich blood flow to function properly. This is exactly what the Cooch Ball can help to create!

The science that inspired Jana Danielson to create the Cooch Ball centers on the fundamental principle that muscles—including your pelvic floor—require proper blood flow, oxygen, and movement to maintain optimal function. As Dr. Bruce Crawford's research shows, 90% of pelvic floor dysfunction is actually a fitness issue rather than a medical condition, and the Cooch Ball addresses this by combining principles from Pilates, proper breathing mechanics, and targeted pressure to improve blood flow and muscle responsiveness in the pelvic region.

The Cooch Ball isn't recommended for women who are currently pregnant, have active pelvic area infections, have undergone recent pelvic surgery, or have severe pelvic pain that hasn't been evaluated by a healthcare provider. If you have a diagnosed pelvic floor condition, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider, specifically your pelvic floor physical therapist, before beginning your Cooch Ball practice.

Like any fitness routine, your body might feel temporarily fatigued if you overdo your Cooch Ball practice, potentially experiencing mild soreness or increased awareness in your pelvic region. Listen to your body, start gradually with shorter sessions, and remember that consistency over time yields better results than intense but infrequent sessions. The one and only rule with the Cooch Ball is to allow your breath to be your guide. This means as long as you can calmly breath while you are sitting on your Cooch Ball, you are good to go. If your breath becomes erratic or you find yourself holding your breath, it is time to come off the ball.

The Cooch Ball is designed to be gentle and safe when used as directed, with its soft, flexible material preventing injury during proper use. To ensure safety, always start with low pressure, avoid using it if you have any open wounds or infections in the pelvic region, and discontinue use if you experience sharp or shooting pain rather than mild, productive discomfort.

Yes, barring specific medical conditions, all women have the physical capacity to experience orgasm, though the journey to discovering what works for your unique body can vary widely. As Susan Bratton, Intimacy Expert explains, orgasmic pleasure is actually a learned skill that improves with practice, knowledge of your anatomy, and proper blood flow to your pelvic region. The Cooch Ball will teach you how to both strengthen and release your pelvic floor. Both, the strength and the release phases are necessary for orgasm to occur. Because the majority of women are living with a hypertonic or too tight pelvic floor, orgasm eludes them as they are unable to truly let go and receive the sensation!
