Keeping pelvic floor muscles strong is vital to preventing a number of conditions, such as urinary incontinence and minimising reduced sensitivity or feeling during sex.

Incontinence involves being unable to control when you pass urine and many people suffering from this normally use incontinence products, including pads and pants to manage the condition.

According to the National Health Service (NHS), pelvic floor exercises could be particularly effective in dealing with stress incontinence, which is a type of urinary problem where small amounts of urine leak out during an activity.

Both men and women can do pelvic floor exercises, which tackle the condition by helping to keep pelvic muscles strong, thereby improving their effectiveness when it comes to controlling the bladder.

The NHS advises: "To strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, sit comfortably and squeeze the muscles ten to 15 times in a row. Avoid holding your breath, or tightening your stomach, buttock, or thigh, muscles, at the same time."
