My girlfriends are hilarious, and I used to cross my legs through every lunch. Halfway through Zenya's 90-Day Transformation Program, I laugh as hard as I want now.

Desire changes its address.
Sex in midlife can feel different. It can also get better, with or without a partner. A frank, friendly look at what changes, and what helps.
By the Zenya team3 min readUpdated October 2026
Nobody sits us down and says it: around menopause, sex can feel different. Lower oestrogen can mean less natural moisture and less blood flow. Arousal may take longer. Sensation can feel softer. And confidence, in our bodies and in the moment, can wobble.
All of this is common, and none of it means the good part of your life is over. This chapter, with no worries about pregnancy and more time for yourself, can be when pleasure gets better. With a partner or on your own, it is yours.
The muscle that joins in
Your pelvic floor is not only about bladder control. These muscles are involved in arousal and orgasm too. In a review of studies, women who did pelvic floor training reported better arousal, orgasm and satisfaction, and less pain. The evidence is still early, but it is promising, and the training is gentle and safe for most women.
What helps
-
Talk about it
With a partner if you have one, or with friends. Saying it out loud takes away half its power.
-
Take more time
Slower is not lesser. Give arousal the time it now needs.
-
Comfort first
A good lubricant is a simple fix many women wish they had found sooner.
-
Train the pelvic floor
A few minutes most days, for sensation, confidence and connection with your own body.
Pelvic floor training is built into every week of the Zenya 90-Day Transformation Program, designed by a team of 3 gynecologists and 2 physiotherapists specialised in women's health. Ten minutes a day, from the sofa, fully clothed. Free with the trainer.

Before you decide.
Is the trainer used internally?
No. It is used over your clothes, between your thighs or knees, like any fitness trainer.
Will it fix my sex life?
No product can promise that. Pelvic floor training may help with sensation and confidence, alongside time, comfort and talking.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Train 10 minutes a day with the program. If you don't feel the difference in 60 days, get your money back. No questions asked.

Booked a nine-hour flight to see my new grandbaby and didn't even ask for the aisle seat. First time in years.

I won't go into details, but my husband noticed before I said a word. Let's just say my Zenya isn't only about my thighs.

Wore a swimsuit at the lake this summer with no cover-up. Ten minutes a day on my inner thighs, and I finally stopped hiding.

Bought a sleeveless dress for my niece's wedding. Me! The arm routines in the BuildUp Trainer program are the reason I didn't throw a cardigan over it.

I carry my own groceries up the stairs again, both bags at once. My legs feel solid, and I don't grab the railing anymore.

My jeans were sagging in the back for years. Didn't know Zenya's program had moves for that. Now my daughter asks where I got them.

Thirty years at a desk, slouching like a question mark. A few weeks of the core routines and I'm sitting up straighter without even thinking about it.

I've quit every workout I ever started. Ten minutes a day, each routine laid out for me, and I'm on day 74 of Zenya's 90-Day Transformation Program.

Kids are grown, I'm retired, and I decided this chapter is mine. Ten minutes with my Zenya every morning, and I feel like myself again.
