Kickstarter: kGoal

I love Kickstarter.  I have seen so many awesome projects come through KS.  My most recent find is called kGoal.  The kGoal is a device to help women do Kegel exercises correctly.  Kegel exercises help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.  There are two main reasons for doing Kegel exercises--increase in sexual health/pleasure, and to help prevent stress incontinence.  

If you are an obese female, especially if you’ve had children, then you probably know all about stress incontinence.  That’s when you pee a little when you sneeze, cough, or laugh really hard.  It sucks and it’s horribly embarrassing--even if no one knows.  I think it’s something that most of us don’t talk about it; I know I don’t.  But it happens.  And I hate it.  I’ve tried to do Kegel exercises before, but I have a tendency to forget, and I usually end up giving up.

And in walks the kGoal!  The kGoal is a Kegel device with an app that actually lets you know if you’re doing the exercise correctly!  Yay!  It also gives a little vibration when you do it correctly, so there’s extra fun.  The early bird Kickstarter tier is all sold out, but you can still sign up for the Kickstarter and get a kGoal for $125.  The Kickstarter ends on Monday, August 4 at 7:57 p.m.  The company is expecting to sell them for $175 retail, so the discount is good if you get on board with the Kickstarter.

They are expecting to ship them out by the end of the year.  So I will try to review the device once it’s in my… hands :)
