It’s so important to practice self care at every stage of life, including during menopause. I’ve discovered a company called Joylux that makes self care so much easier…read on to learn more!

Joylux is a company that offers a platform of life-changing solutions with high-tech devices, digital tools and products that address menopausal-related health concerns. By combining science-based products with access to menopausal education, health data, and community, they strive to deliver better health outcomes. Their mission is to help women find delight in their lives, through all phases of menopause. This is what I love about Joylux!

Our culture is so anti-aging and women don’t want to admit that their bodies are changing, even though it’s a natural process that all women experience. One of these changes can be issues with the pelvic floor.

Before learning about Joylux, I had no knowledge of the importance of a healthy pelvic floor, so I did a little research and here is what I found…

The pelvic floor is a layer of muscles that extend from the pubic bone to the tailbone. This muscle group holds up the bladder and bowels. Keeping the pelvic floor in shape is essential to prevent uncomfortable issues later in life. The pelvic floor helps to maintain bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and serves as the “home” for the pelvic organs, including the urinary bladder, rectum, and vagina, keeping them in the correct position.

Pelvic floor disorders are fairly common and there are various causes of a weak pelvic floor, including advanced age, being overweight, a congenital effect, heavy lifting, injury in the area, menopause and pregnancy history or recent childbirth. Unfortunately, many women let these issues affect their daily lives for years prior to seeking treatment. A strong pelvic floor helps maintain control of the bladder and the sphincter muscle. If your pelvic floor muscles become weak or damaged, you may experience urinary incontinence or have trouble controlling your bowels. Many worry about coughing or sneezing in public for fear of having an accident, or avoid social situations due to urgency and incontinence. Many forms of pelvic floor issues can be easily treated.

In many cases, the symptoms of a weak pelvic floor show up gradually. You may notice some urine leakage when sneezing or jumping. Eventually, this issue can worsen, leading to more significant problems.

Weak or tight pelvic muscles can also cause pain during intercourse. Plus, constipation may result from a weak pelvic floor, and in severe cases, a bladder, uterus or bowel prolapse can occur.

There are other issues that show up during menopause…Estrogen levels naturally go down and as a result, the walls of the vagina become thin, dry, and sometimes inflamed. In many women, this leads to symptoms of vaginal burning, irritation, pain (especially during sex), bleeding, or discharge. Many women who have vaginal and urinary symptoms during menopause do not see their doctors because they believe it is just a normal part of aging. But if the symptoms are bothersome, treating them can improve quality of life.

How does the Joylux V-fit Device help with these symptoms?

By using the Joylux V-Fit device you will experience a stronger pelvic floor, improved sensation, and a feeling of tightness. Joylux patented technology includes…

RED LIGHT (LEDS) ENERGY

Six high-powered, UV-free stimulating red lights (LEDs) in the 662nm wavelength that shine brightly to safely and effectively produce a positive, natural body response.

THERMAL ENERGY

Gentle heat warms the tissue and encourages blood flow, which aids in natural lubrication to help soothe dryness. Gentle heat also amplifies the LED benefits.

SONIC TECHNOLOGY

As we age, our vaginal skin gets thinner. Sonic vibration aids in stimulating collagen which rejuvenates the vaginal tissue and thickens the wall of the vagina by increasing blood flow. Intimacy is more comfortable and, as a result enjoyment is improved. There are 6 (vFit) and 10 (vFit PLUS) modes for your customization.

PHOTONIC GEL

Formulated specifically to enhance your vFit performance and comfort, this ultra-concentrated, water-based gel is infused with hyaluronic acid and aloe to help moisturize.

vFit is a medical device used for feminine wellness. Using the device 6 -10 minutes every other day for 6 weeks with weekly maintenance after 6 weeks is enough to experience significant benefit. vFit is designated as a low-risk general wellness device by the FDA.

After learning about this company and vFit in particular, I decided to order one and see for myself.

I have experienced many of the symptoms that Joylux products are designed to treat…here is my personal story.

Several years ago (almost 10), I had a blood clot in my leg because of taking birth control pills. I had previously had a hysterectomy and was taking the birth control pills for my skin. When the blood clot was discovered, my doctors told me that I would never be able to take any kind of hormones. I’ve been very fortunate in that I’ve not had horrible menopausal symptoms…hot flashes have been about it, and they haven’t been terrible. The one symptom that kind of crept up on me was vaginal dryness. There are hormonal treatments for this but I can’t take them.

vFit is a perfect solution for someone who can’t take hormones.

My vFit device arrived yesterday and after I charged it, I used it for the first time. It works with an app on your phone, making it very easy! It’s so cool…when you start vFit, a timer starts within the app and turns the device off when the session is over. It’s very comfortable and you can feel a low vibration and slight warmth. The app also includes wellness tips for menopause and reminders.

Joylux products a perfect compliment to the vFit device. They are all paraben free and totally safe for anyone to use. I have been using…
