MaryEllen Reider is the founder of Yarlap, an award-winning FemTech device cleared by the FDA to treat the cause of female urinary incontinence. Driven to be part of the solution for pelvic floor health, Reider and her father Brent created the Yarlap – a wellness device designed to treat urinary incontinence and improve feminine performance and experience through muscle control. A leading voice in the pelvic floor wellness space, Reider is passionate about educating women on the importance of Kegel exercises, and the need for the Yarlap, and strives to empower women through their pelvic floor muscles.
Dr. Jennifer Ashton breaks down what women need to know about how aging affects their reproductive system.
In this BONUS episode we’re talking about pelvic floor health, which is something I’ve been wanting to talk about on the show for a long time. I REALLY wish women talked more about this topic with one another, and understand the effects of pelvic floor health on our overall health, including our sex
Including basic Kegel weights, vibrating exercisers, and smart devices that give biofeedback via apps.
I asked Reider if this could've been due to the Yarlap, and she said yes. "Your muscles are trained to properly respond to the action of the orgasm, so they’re prepping for the moment," she says.
"As the founder of Yarlap, I feel that a huge part of my identity is being part of the solution for pelvic floor health. You read statistics about women’s incontinence and think “why is this NOT talked about everywhere? It’s so common and our pelvic wellness is so much a part of our relationships!” Instead of pointing out all the factors and what women could do, we decided to become part of the solution with Yarlap. This runs over and over and over in my head. It lights a fire in me. I’m ready to go, I’m re-energized. I want to be part of the solution and I will be part of the solution."
"One thing women should focus on is the importance of the pelvic floor when it comes to the reproductive system," MaryEllen Reider, co-founder of Yarlap, said. "It’s a muscle that hasn’t gotten a lot of recognition and women shouldn’t be ashamed to talk about any issues."
