The quantified self movement is all about Straps gadgets to our bodies to tell us that we don't get enough exercise. The trend may have neglected certain parts of the body, that's something that adult toys manufacturer Minna life want to fix. At least, that's the idea behind the--wait for it--kGoal pelvic floor trainer. The hardware tells users how strong their pelvic floor muscles are, provides real-time feedback on strength as well as allowing people to keep track of their performance.

Consisting of a SQUEEZABLE, air-filled cushion and wireless dongle, the kGoal mate with your smartphone to give you a strength-rating and show you how you can improve, and the company even works on games to try and make the experience more, erm, entertaining. Bedroom business aside, the pelvis Word also contributes to a healthy bladder, and women often struggle to maintain, according to UCSF Medical Center Professor Liz Miracle. Her patients often say that they are unable to keep their exercises, as there is a lack of feedback to let them know how well they do. The kGoal is designed to remedy that, as well as in the more intimate scenarios to improve. Of course, the product is on Kickstarter, and $ 99 will give you an early-bird discount, while the Johnny-come-latelys will be asked to spend $ 125.
