And it is on page 26 of the late winter 2005 edition of the _Lifestyle Fascination_ catalogue. It comes with instructions. “…and your satisfaction is fully guaranteed—perhaps even more so than for any other product we sell…” :eek: ---

Hehe, so this teenager now has a sudden spiked interest in learning how to do kegels. Does anyone have a helpful video or something that explains the process. Purely for athletic reasons of course :rolleyes: ---

Purely for athletic reasons of course :rolleyes: Well, it will help your bladder. A strong bladder is happy for everyone. Ok, first, go to your local toilet. Begin peeing. STOP! You know those muscles you just used to stop your pee from flowing? Those are your pelvic floor muscles. Those are what you need to squeeze. You can do this without the peeing part, that’s just the easiest way to teach people. Do a couple of sets of 25 each a day. ---

> [@UncleRojelio](#): > > [This?](http://www.shoplifestyle.com/store/product.asp?pf_id=969&source=ntrcs) Pffft. Boring. I propose a version with an internal pressure sensor, connected to a readout so the user can see the force exerted. It’s easier to keep up with an exercise regime with positive reinforcement, in this case watching the needle move and trying to make it ‘peg’. Or better yet, a digital display with the maximum values recorded, like the high scores on an arcade game. Someone else will have to invent the “Kegelmeter”, though. I don’t even own a soldering iron. ---

He he he. Can’t wait for a few of these to start setting off the metal detectors at airports… “Ma’am, are you sure you don’t have _any_ coins or anything in your pockets? Can you step over here, please?” ---

Hee, here’s whole [set](http://www.shopinprivate.com/femvagweigtr.html) of them. Who knew there was actually a variety of products available for your cootchie-clenching needs?

Meh. I have one of those, and a set of “Ben Wa Balls”. (yes, yes, wink wink, nudge nudge, har har). I’ve been using things like this for years, to keep everything healthy, It’s not very pleasurable - kind of clinical, actually. Hubby smiles a lot. 😃 ---
