Ep 1: Introducing Toys Into The Bedroom

Ep 1: Introducing Toys Into The Bedroom

2024-10-14

In this episode of Real Talk with The Vagina Docs, Dr. Jocelyn and Dr. Jordan sit down with Leigh Piper and Myria Kniffen, Owners & Co-Founders of Iris Proper to talk about navigating the introduction of sex toys in relationships. This candid conversation covers the role of open communication, overcoming shame, and how to approach the topic of toys with a partner in a respectful and fun way.

Key Takeaways:

Communication is key: Discuss introducing sex toys in a neutral setting outside the bedroom to avoid pressure or judgment. Toys can enhance intimacy: The goal is to use toys to deepen connection and increase fun, not to fix or replace anything in the relationship. Break the taboo: Toys are often surrounded by societal shame, but they can offer new sensory inputs that improve the sexual experience and help individuals feel more embodied. Know your partner: Be mindful of your partner's comfort level and start the conversation with curiosity and openness. Practice and evolve: Just like other skills, intimacy and the use of toys is a journey that evolves over time.

Leigh and Myria provide insights into how their shop offers a non-intimidating entry point for those new to sex toys. They emphasize creating a comfortable space for women to explore and find the right products for their intimate experiences.

Why All Women Must See a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist During Pregnancy

Why All Women Must See a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist During Pregnancy

2023-08-04

Goal of this podcast episode is to give you the knowledge in order to help you have a smoother pregnancy, easier delivery, and easier postpartum recovery.

Topics we discuss:

What happens to the body during pregnancy that would warrant someone to see a pelvic floor PT. Why a pelvic floor PT specifically

Common problems that people experience during pregnancy & how pelvic floor PT helps

Hyperemesis gravidarum

SPD

Low back pain

Sciatica

Fluid retention

Pain with sex

Leakage

Constipation/pooping

We talk about how a pelvic floor PT understands how the different systems interact/affect one another.

Dysbiosis within the gut

Identify risk factors associated with these issues and address those risk factors before person becomes symptomatic

Imbalances within the body that result in movement impairments that place excessive stressors on the body

When addressed proactively, a lot less care is needed. Versus waiting till symptoms arise. The problem that we see is that people don’t believe it is going to happen to them until it does.

We talk about what happens to the body during delivery that would warrant someone to see a pelvic floor PT specifically.

The Impact Of Grief and Loss On Injury Risk & Healing With Dr. Megan Daley

The Impact Of Grief and Loss On Injury Risk & Healing With Dr. Megan Daley

2021-08-29

We all experience some degree of loss throughout our lives. Loss can be death of a loved one, loss of an identity, etc... and it impacts our threshold for injury, pain, and overall healing. In this episode Dr. Jocelyn & Dr. Megan talk about how loss and physical healing intersect.

About our guest...

Dr. Megan grew up as an athlete (and academic), getting injured and being in and out of physical therapy herself. She got her undergrad degree in mathematics in SC, even though she knew she wanted to work in healthcare, and then moved to AZ to get her doctorate in physical therapy. She spent the first several years of practice in corporate healthcare, going to many continuing education weekends and searching for her own mentors. And well, this episode includes why she’ll never work with insurance again and why her focus is on preventative care and connecting physical, mental, and emotional health.

She spends her time teaching for the Institute of Clinical Excellence on the weekends (faculty since 2017), treating patients at her own Out Of Network clinic during the week (with a  fitness and mindset forward approach), competing in Olympic weightlifting, and hiking/snowboarding/camping as much as possible, preferably with her boyfriend and her corgi.
