00:03Yes! Yes! Yes! I should explain. I'm playing a video game right now as we speak with my vagina.
00:15Hi, I'm Laura Wilcox and this is Femme. Now I know what you're thinking. Are girls even allowed
00:21to play video games? Of course we are, you piece of shit. Especially when we're playing with our
00:28We can't, we can't say on the internet? Fuck that. Today we're asking questions about
00:34Elvi, a video game app that doubles as a muscle exercise for your pelvic floor. Now some of
00:40you might be wondering, where's my pelvic floor? What's a kegel? Does it rhyme with seagull or
00:45squad goal? Kind of depends on your regional accent. My point is we're going to talk to
00:51somebody who knows. We're going to talk to a pelvic floor expert.
01:00Amour, with devotion, anticipation, from desire, hands grasp firm, diamond eyes gaze forward,
01:32I'm here to strengthen my pelvic floor.
01:35Let's get this body off the ground, turn up the sound, and put the needle on the record,
01:42spin it around. You gotta break that scene. Know what I mean?
01:48What exactly is a pelvic floor? Where do I find it? Is it hardwood or is it carpet? Haha, just
01:54kidding.
01:55But no, really, what is it? Okay, pelvic floor. You can see all the muscles at the bottom, ligaments,
02:02you know, holding all the bones together. So it's giving you stability and most important, I would say,
02:07it's supporting your organs, your bladder, your vagina, your rectum, your uterus. So...
02:13The pelvic floor is what's like, it's literally like a floor that's like, you know, to use house hunter terms,
02:19it's like the foundation of your home.
02:22Just can't stop this party machine.
02:26What is a kegel? It's named after the man Arnold Kegel who coined them.
02:31So people look at his research. I think women could have. That is just typical, isn't it?
02:36You know when you squeeze your vagina wall? That's me. I'm Martin Kegel. Hi.
02:42Arnold. Arnold? I'm Arnold Kegel.
02:45Why should a woman concern herself with strengthening her pelvic floor or doing kegels?
02:52Like, what's the upside here?
02:53A lot of women do it because either they're leaking on themselves
02:58or because they feel like their organs are going to fall out of their body.
03:03No. I do want to talk about some Kegel technology.
03:09Keg-nology. Wow.
03:11This is like a Kegel video game, basically.
03:15Kind of, yeah.
03:16So this is the Bluetooth thing that looks, I mean, pretty obvious. It's a sperm.
03:23And you insert this in the vagina and you use Kegels to activate a game on your phone.
03:30So there's an app for it. Right. There's an app for that.
03:33So as, you know, you want to think about, like, closing the muscles, like, around that and pulling up.
03:38Right. So squeeze and lift.
03:40Ah, okay.
03:40Chilling at the club cause it's Saturday night.
03:44There's a DJ in the booth and he's out of sight.
03:48How do I Kegel? Try to relax. Good.
03:51So, like, think about going up an elevator.
03:54So contract it just a tiny bit and a tiny bit more and a tiny bit more.
03:58And then you can kind of know if you're doing it.
03:59If it feels like it's getting harder, then you can kind of come down again a little bit
04:03and really slowly relax it.
04:05And that's a way to get it stronger, to do that, a really slow relaxation.
04:08I'm going to attempt a Kegel.
04:10Now I'm going to pretend I'm in line at Trader Joe's, but I'm riding up an elevator.
04:16But also my boss just walked in and I just had a memory of my grandmother talking about sex.
04:21And also I'm terrified that my bladder will fall out of my vagina in the shower someday.
04:26Am I doing it right?
04:28I think so.
04:29That's it?
04:29Yeah.
04:29Well, that's easy.
04:35Well, I hope you learned a lot today.
04:38Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to play some more video games.
04:41And that's going to require total privacy.
04:44So, buh-bye.
04:46Get out.
04:47Oh, hey.
04:47Until next time, come back next time.
04:51Okay, buh-bye.
04:54Yeah.
