If you’re a member of our r/pompoir subreddit (a forum designed to talk about all things vaginal gymnastics, regardless of whether you’re part of The Ohlympus program or not) you know that every month there’s at least one member asking about how to best use the Perifit tool for Pompoir.

For a while, I refrained from engaging in these posts, because I had no experience with the device. But as months went on and the conversations about the Perifit continued to resurface, I decided to devote some of my precious time (previously reserved for posting dad jokes on Instagram) and see what this thing was all about.

And as fate would have it, it turns out that the Perifit is Pompoir’s ultimate best friend.

So much so that I decided to reach out to the company and get you guys a discount, if you so choose to use it.

But, because I don’t intend to convert you into the Church of Impulsive Buyers –there’s no room left in our chapel because I’ve bought too many vintage furniture items that may or may not but definitely did not belong to Elvis– I’m going to force you to read the reasons why the Perifit could be a great companion for those studying vaginal gymnastics before I give you our discount code.

Yes. I am that evil.

First Thing’s First – What is the Perifit?

The “Perifit” is really what is now known as Perifit Care, the original device fabricated by the Perifit Company – a business focused on developing biofeedback tools to promote women’s health.

The Perifit Care is a wireless silicon probe that inserts in your vagina and connects to a mobile application where you access real-time feedback on the strength, speed, endurance, control and contraction quality of your pelvic floor muscles.

It uses biofeedback technology that is backed by physicians and proven to be an effective method for training the pelvic floor.

And here’s the fun part: it uses games to help you exercise your pelvic floor muscles. 

That’s right. My jaw dropped as I helped the bluebird on my phone’s screen navigate through the sky with the power of my pelvic floor contractions and releases.

This was me.

Now, while the purpose of the Perifit is to help women strengthen their pelvic floor to prevent urinary incontinence and organ prolapse, if you’re here, you know very well the secondary, much sexier benefits of having healthy pelvic floor muscles.

So how can we use the Perifit during our Pompoir journey, on our way to becoming absolute vaginal goddesses and experience Earth-shattering orgasms (and, why not? Make kings abdicate thrones for us…).

Perifit and Pompoir #1: Divine Transverse Plane Strength

As I explain in my book, the way Pompoir works is by exercising the vagina across three planes of motion.

We’ve got the vertical axis, where we train our muscles through up and down movements such as contracting, fluttering, and milking.

We’ve got the horizontal axis, where we train our muscles through left and right movements such as squeezing, whipping, and rubbing.

And we’ve got the sagittal axis, where we train our muscles through back and forth movements such as rocking, massaging, and stroking.

(Many of these moves are multiplanar movements, as in, they involve more than one plane of motion at once – but that’s not the topic of this post)

The Perifit works throughout what we call the Transverse plane of the vagina or the vertical axis. As in, through the different levels of depth of the vaginal canal (the entrance of the vagina near the opening, the middle of the vagina where most women find their G-spot, and the top of the vagina close to the cervix).

The Transverse plane is typically the one Pompoir students start with when they begin their journey of vaginal mastery. This is because movements of this plane, such as contracting, are fairly simple to perform.

After all, we contract our vaginal muscles involuntarily when we orgasm, when we hold our pee when waiting in line for a free stall at the bar after having one too many Cuba Libres, and we contract them when other muscles need assistance, like when we brace our core to do a deep squat. 

And, if you’ve ever done a Kegel, that is, in fact, a voluntary pelvic floor contraction.

The other reason why we like our students to start with the Transverse Plane is because these exercises are the most straightforward way to build pelvic floor strength.

Besides the obvious (preventing incontinence and organ prolapse) strong pelvic floor muscles are key to becoming a Pompoir goddess.

This is because:

• Strong pelvic floor muscles allow you to move them in more ways, thus allowing you to master more complex skills (kind of like if you have pecs like Terry Crews you can make them bounce)
  
  
  
• Strong pelvic floor muscles support your vagina so that it feels much tighter and enhances all of the sensations inside of you. Not only does this make sex feel incredible, but it also allows you to feel the different Pompoir moves working.
  
  

And, of course, you want strong pelvic floor muscles because the stronger they are, the stronger your orgasmic contractions become, thus, the stronger your orgasms get.

The Perifit offers a fun and creative way to train strength. With its tailored-made training programs (based on your specific goals), you’ll be following a set of games that will have you contracting your muscles in a variety of ways to make them stronger.

Whether it’s helping your avatar race runner jump through the hurdles, the animated pen drawing a sketch, or FlappyBird flying through the columns.

Perifit and Pompoir #2: Tracking Vaginal Fitness Components

You guys know I’m a total nerd.

You could even argue that I didn’t write a sex book, but a book where I explain how I reverse-engineered the elusive practice of Pompoir that I had heard about in different accounts from history.

And now here I am. Making sex uncool one “pelvic floor biomechanics” mention at a time.

Jokes aside, we’re all about hacking the different ways our incredible body performs here. So I was very pleased to see that when I opened up the Perifit app, I saw a diagram that looked like this:

The Perifit is tracking different fitness components of your pelvic floor.

This is a game-changer in the world of Kegels. Often, kegel instructors only focus on one aspect of the contraction move: the strength.

But just like any other muscle, strength is only one piece of the puzzle, and only one of the many abilities we can master.

Perifit specifically measures:

• Contraction Quality: whether you’re contracting with “proper form”, as in, with a focus on using the vaginal muscles and without using other core muscles for support.
  
  
• Contraction Strength: as in, how much force can your pelvic floor muscles exert on command.
  
  
• Contraction Endurance: how long you can hold a strong, high-quality contraction for.
  
  
• Contraction Speed: how fast you can contract and relax your muscles on command.
  
  
• Contraction Control: as in, how well you can coordinate between contracting and relaxing your muscles, and whether you can dial up and down the strength of your contractions.
  
  

Now, it’s important to note that the Perifit only trains the Transverse Plane of the vagina. As in, it only trains movements occurring across its vertical axis (contraction-based movements).

The Perifit does not train movements of the Frontal Plane (horizontal axis) or Sagittal plane (sagittal axis). 

While you might think this is very limited, given that contracting is only one of the dozens and dozens of moves we develop through Pompoir, it isn’t.

This is because the contraction is the most fundamental move in vaginal gymnastics.

When performed properly, all its variations are incredible to get your pelvic floor muscles to be strong, agile, powerful, fast, and flexible. And this is imperative if you want to move forward with more complex Pompoir skills, such as whipping or twisting.

The contraction is to Pompoir what the forehand swing is to tennis. Once you master this essential stroke, you can develop a variety of other skills, like volleys, lobs, and powerful serves, each building off that same fundamental movement.

And yes, I may have gotten obsessed with the Challengers movie and decided to start playing tennis recently. So you can expect a lot more tennis references from me. Don’t judge me – Zendaya is just too good. 

The Perifit, by tracking the different components of Contracting, allows you to get progressively better in this move until you’ve mastered it.

Here’s an image I made to illustrate this distinction between training with the Perifit and training Pompoir:

Perifit and Pompoir #3: Pelvic Floor Muscle Elasticity

Learning how to relax your pelvic floor muscles is equally as important as learning how to contract them. 

Why? First, because not knowing how to properly relax your muscles after a training session can lead to tension, and if that tension continues to build it can lead to a hypertonic pelvic floor, where the muscles are locked up and unable to relax.

This is painful and can lead to the same issues as having a weak pelvic floor (such as incontinence and prolapse), because locked up muscles are unable to support your body properly.

Second, because muscles grow stronger at rest. That’s the case for every single muscle in your body – you tear its fibers when you train them, and then they build back up stronger when you’re resting.

If you don’t allow for this rest by relaxing your muscles, then you won’t actually be able to make much progress in Pompoir or learn how to perform new skills.

This is why we place so much importance on rest, stretching, and breathing in our program.

The Perifit also does a phenomenal job at teaching its users how to effectively relax their muscles and let go of any contraction.

In fact, it trains the “relaxing” portion of the contraction just as much as the contraction itself. For example, when you’re playing Flappy Bird, you need to relax your muscles in order to fly closer to the ground and access the lower passages of the game.

The Perifit is not only teaching you how to swiftly switch between contracting and relaxing (controlling your agility), but how much to contract and relax (controlling your strength).

And this translates into using Pompoir during sex. We want our muscles to swiftly switch between relaxed states, when we’re just laying back while enjoying the sensations our trained and sensitive vagina is experiencing, and active states, when we’re choosing between our favorite repertoire of vaginal skills to “WOW” our partner and create that oh-so-delicious orgasmic states.

Perifit and Pompoir #4: Visual Feedback

Finally, the Perifit is a fantastic tool throughout your Pompoir journey because it provides you with visual feedback of your progress.

This is one of the more challenging aspects of Pompoir: in order to tell whether we’re progressing with a specific skill, we need to either use our fingers or try it out during sex.

In fact, the Perifit itself cannot tell you if you’re doing a specific skill right unless it’s a contraction. And as we’ve covered, that’s usually the very first exercise Pompoir students learn anyway.

But while you might still need to use your fingers or have sex with your partner when optimizing new skills that you’re learning (you poor thing), your different Pompoir workouts will themselves also help with the different components of a contraction.

Here’s an example: say you’re enrolled in The Ohlympus Program, and this Tuesday you’re training the Full Squeeze exercise, learning how to accurately squeeze with your lateral walls at different levels of your vagina (the entrance, the middle, and the top).

This is building focused strength in the regions of your pelvic floor muscles that surround your vaginal canal. This means that you won’t need to involve your abdominal muscles or the muscles that surround your anus as much when performing these or other skills.

And the more you practice it, the better you’ll get at truly isolating the vaginal muscles only.

Now, say that on Friday, you decide to swap your typical Pompoir workout with a Perifit training session, since you’ve been feeling weak in your contractions lately, and want to make sure you’re effectively relaxing your muscles as well.

Because you’ve been training the Full Squeeze exercise, it’s likely that your Contraction Quality score on Perifit (the one that measures that you’re using “proper form” when you contract and not involving other muscles) is going to go up!

See what I mean? The Perifit helps Pompoir Training as much as Pompoir Training helps your Perifit scores.

And, if you’re a data nerd like me who likes to see numbers go up, then you’ll love to challenge yourself to keep improving every week.

Perifit Discount + An Important Caveat for Pompoir Students

Something tells me that I didn’t exactly persuade you to save money throughout this article.

After all, the Perifit is a really, really amazing tool for Pompoir.

But, hopefully, this is now a very mindful purchase rather than an impulsive one. And, with a 20% discount, it’s a bargain for the value that you’re going to get out of it.

>>Click Here to get a 25% Gohddess discount on the Perifit<<

An important caveat, though: sometimes, Perifit uses the word “squeeze” to describe what we call “contracting”.

This is important to note, because as I explained before, the Perifit only works in the Transverse Plane of the vagina (the vertical axis). It does not differentiate between your horizontal walls or your front and back walls. 

In the world of Pompoir, because we learn how to perform dozens of unique skills with the different regions of our vagina across the three planes of movement, we use words like “squeezing”, “contracting”, and “sucking” to refer to three completely distinct exercises.

But in the world of Perifit, words like “lifting”, “squeezing”, and “contracting” are all used interchangeably to refer to the same motion (contracting).

Going Further: How to Specifically Use the Perifit Alongside Your Pompoir Workout

I plan on writing a few more articles on this topic, perhaps alongside the Perifit folks, where I explain how you can specifically use the tool to help you develop certain Pompoir skills.

If this is something that interests you, make sure you let me know on our Instagram, TikTok, or our reddit community.

What I will say now, is that I don’t want you to use Perifit on the same day as you’re training Pompoir. This can overtrain your muscles, which can lead to a hypertonic pelvic floor, yada, yada, yada – just don’t do it.

Instead, I recommend swapping a Pompoir session for a Perifit training session when:

• You’ve been training Pompoir for a few weeks, but feel like your contractions are not getting stronger, or that you can’t hold them for too long. The device will give you some real-time feedback on what’s really going on.
  
  
• You want to make sure you’re relaxing your muscles properly to avoid overtraining.
  
  
• You’re struggling to master a new, more complex, Pompoir skill.
  
  
• You’re experiencing a “strength plateau”, and for whatever reason, you feel like you’ve stopped progressing in your Pompoir journey.
  
  
• You’re looking to switch things up and want a break from your regular Pompoir routine.

I hope this article was useful, because I intend to direct everyone who continues asking about Perifit on our subreddit here. Because I’m technologically challenged and haven’t yet cracked the Reddit Q&A section.

Love you, goddess.

Have a wonderful day!
