sex pillow review
When Gina Vaynshteyn and Suzannah Weiss of Glamour reached out to me for my opinion on their upcoming sex pillow review for various sex positions and overcoming injury, I was glad to offer some advice. Here is a brief synopsis of the article with a link to the full article below.

Heather Jeffcoat

Make Any Sex Position Hotter - And More Comfortable!

The Big Sex Pillow Review at Glamour UK featuring Heather Jeffcoat

A large portion of what we do here at Femina PT involves various products that are tailor made for specific types of treatment we offer. In our facilities you will see a wide variety of devices and accessories, such as:

  • Pilates reformer and tower
  • Yoga Mats, blocks, towels, bolsters/pillows
  • Therabands and stretching straps
  • Exercise balls and pinky balls
  • Massage guns and vibrating hypersphere and foam rollers
  • Regular foam rollers
  • Peloton bike
  • Treadmill 
  • Normatech compression boots

Of course all of these things serve specific purposes: to make therapy easier and/or more effective.

Let's say you first came to us to help get your sex life back on track, and now you're ready to test out the results - why not take this same approach in the bedroom? Ergonomics are just as important when you're "doing it" as they are when you working out or rehabbing from injury - and this is where a good sex pillow (or two!) can really come in handy - so let's get this sex pillow review started!

The article begins:

Sure, sex is nice. But have you ever gotten it on using sex pillows? As in, a pillow ergonomically designed for either intercourse or solo play, making tricky or awkward angles and new sex positions much more smooth sailing (and comfortable). If you’ve taken yoga classes, you’ve probably experienced something similar: in order to achieve certain poses, the instructor may give you tools, like yoga blocks or blankets. That’s what the best sex pillows aim to do: make sex more accessible, pleasurable, and fun.

Sex pillows are not just for partner play - many of them are great for solo play too. When Gina and Suzannah went looking for reasons why people might be interested in incorporating a sex pillow into their lives, the answers included wanting to improve not just partner play but alone time as well.

And it turns out finding the right sex position or angle for masturbation is a common issue. Sex toy company Dame surveyed 1,600 of its Dame Labs community members, asking which non-vibrating product “would most improve [their] sex life.” Per Dame, “81% responded they wished they could find a better angle when with their partner and/or that they regularly used a spare pillow or cushion to achieve one.”

One of the biggest reasons we recommend sex pillows to our clients is to alleviate discomfort due to injuries while putting the body in position to best enjoy sex. It's an often overlooked aspect when choosing the right sex pillow:

Sex position pillows can be a great addition to the bedroom (or wherever, you do you) especially if, according to Heather Jeffcoat, DPT, pelvic health physician therapist and author of Sex Without Pain: A Self-Treatment Guide to the Sex Life You Deserve, you have mobility issues. “Pillows are great for modifying positions if you have neck, back, hip, or knee issues,” Jeffcoat tells GLAMOUR. Unlike your typical bed pillow, sex pillows help take some of that pressure off our bodies so sex can be enjoyable, not painful. (Some even serve as a sex toy mount so you can have a hands-free experience, too).

As the article so eloquently states, it can’t hurt to introduce a sex pillow into your love life. In fact, it will likely do the opposite and help you reach all kinds of orgasmic new levels. So click here to see which pillows came out on top in the full sex pillow review at the Glamour UK website. You'll be glad you did! And if you'd like therapy first before getting into some hot pillow action, contact us here to make an appointment with one of our therapists.

What Our Patients Have to Say

Testimonial by J.B.

My husband and I were having problems with painful intercourse. My therapist recommended that I go and get a pelvic floor evaluation from a physical therapist. Having never been treated by a physical therapist, I wondered how this really was going to help me. My husband who is a physician was very supportive and agreed that a PT evaluation would be a great idea. So i made the appointment and was blown away by what I learned. I had no idea that pelvic floor muscles could get tight and have trigger points just like any other muscle in the body. I'm a massage therapist and very familiar with tight muscles, and this new thought really amazed me. Heather's program to help relax and strengthen these muscles made such a difference. I can say that I am 100% pain free during intercourse now. Yippee! Going to the PT appointments and doing the at-home exercises was definitely a discipline, but it's 100% worth it! The rewards are amazing.

Testimonial by Fritzette H.

I went to Heather after the birth of my third child. It was lucky, really, that I was referred to her, because my doctor had referred me to a surgeon for a possible hysterectomy or pelvic wall rebuild. Thankfully, I went to Heather before undergoing either surgery, she was able to fix the problem. She has studied extensively in women's health--even written a book about it--and was able to diagnose my problem, suggest a course of treatment (6 weeks), and then follow through with said treatment. By the end, as she said, I was as good as gold. Boy, was it worth it! Though uncomfortable to talk about, much less write about, it is worth getting the word out there. If you have painful intercourse, especially after birth or other trauma, the treatment may be as simple as Physical Therapy (with Heather, of course). I highly recommend her.

Testimonial by M.M.

My husband and I were married for 5 years and unable to have intercourse, but I never knew why. After numerous awful experiences at doctor’s offices (where many doctors told me I “just needed to relax”), a surgery that didn’t fix the problem, and a year of owning dilators that didn’t get me anywhere, someone finally referred me to Heather for Physical Therapy. I finally had answers and information from someone who knew exactly what I was dealing with!

Testimonial by P.M.

I was hopeful but frankly skeptical when the doctor treating me for Interstitial Cystitis recommended that I go to Heather for physical therapy. Medication and diet helped control my IC symptoms, but I had never heard of physical therapy being used to treat IC. The education and treatment I received from Heather was a revelation. She explained that the pain I experienced with IC had helped create a cycle of muscle guarding which affected the entire pelvic area. I had no idea of the amount of tension being held there. No wonder my husband and I had not been able to have sexual intercourse for years!

Testimonial by Jackie W.

I was in multiple car accidents a decade ago, and I have been to many physical therapists through the years without success. They found the root of my lower back pain problems and after nearly a decade of barely being able to walk I finally can again without pain. They are also the best pelvic floor pts and the only ones who found the connection between my pelvic floor and lower back problems. If you need help with physical pain, they are your answer.

Testimonial by T.H.

I started seeing Heather in October 2014. For more than two years, I had been suffering from painful urinary tract infection type symptoms after my bartholins gland surgery which included constant burning and urinary frequency sensation that led to more and more painful intercourse. I had made multiple visits to internist, obgyn and urologist's offices, went through a range of treatment with UTI and bladder frequency medication that included antibiotics, vesicare, estrogen cream, but nothing worked.
