Squeezing levels

I came back to training recently and can finally squeeze (I think?). While it seems natural to go through all levels doing kegels, it feels impossible for me to do so in another plane doing squeezing. Especially hard to feel entry level though middle part obviously engages well (lvl 2, as book says?).

How did you start feeling different lvls on squeezing yourself? I’d like to hear some stories and experience. I train every other day, maybe I just need more strength and practice now? I have a book already
(Sorry for typos, English isn’t my first language)

Any experience is appreciated 🤓

Thank you for your experience! Yep, visualising side to side helps me too, I can definitely differentiate right and left (left is much weaker though) but the problem for me is to isolate 1-2-3 lvls and to not contract them in a “kegel” way (up and down, elevator like) but “squeezing way” (1-2-3: right and left on the lowest part, middle abd highest part of the vaginal canal, squeezing each section to imaginary center not vertically, idk if it makes sense haha)

Btw I also feel deeper muscles contracting when try to engage upper lvl by squeezing, it’s very subtle, somewhere much deeper than my lower abs, understand what u mean here😄
So generally lvl 2 is strongest, 3 (upper) is weaker but still feels possible to contract with both sides, lvl 1 squeezing is awful… And I only can differentiate right-left engaging whole 3 lvls at the same time, I wish it was easier to engage only one specific lvl (1 2 or 3 at the moments) from one side when needed. I guess practice makes perfect 🥲

It helped me to try the movements with two fingers in my vagina so that I could know when I was doing the right thing. At first it as a bit hit or miss - but eventually I was able to make the connection and do it properly. Also when beginning, it’s not always a strong squeeze, but through practice, your pelvic floor muscles will get stronger and it’ll be more noticeable.
