Occasionally, if you’re lucky, you get to see a really good idea spring to life. This week I had just that kind of luck, and got to witness the birth of the “Kegel Fairy” on Twitter, and damn, if my nether regions aren’t already feeling the effects.

The delightful Kristen Chase, well known for managing to put “mom” and “sex” together with the term “blogger” has been celebrating the release of her awesome new book The Mominatrix’s Guide to Sex with a set of sex-related New Year’s Resolutions over at her site . These so called “Sexual Resolutions” have ranged from remembering to masturbate to showering with someone you love to, of course, getting a new sex toy (because who doesn’t need a new sex toy?).

One of the resolutions was about doing Kegel exercises. If you don’t know, Kegel exercises are basically a workout routine for your vagina. Nina Hartley has an excellent video about doing kegels over at Sexis Magazine. Kegels are simple: you just use the same muscles you use to stop the flow of urine, and do them repeatedly, thus improving your muscle tone down there. Some women can even give themselves orgasms by kegeling. Seriously.

While Kristen was tweeting about Kegeling throughout the day, many of us were saying, “Wow, I need a reminder like this every day!” After a bit of research and work, voila! Kristen gave birth (okay, pun totally intended) to a new Twitter account called the Kegel Fairy.

The Kegel Fairy not only sends out periodic reminders to do your kegel exercises, it also tweets whenever someone says the word “vagina” on twitter. Judging by the number of kegels I’ve done in the last three days, people say “vagina” on twitter CONSTANTLY. Because I happen to be someone that spends a great deal of time on twitter, I am seriously kegeling over here!

After five years of infertility treatments, a pregnancy with twins, a second pregnancy that required an emergency c-section, and – ahem – getting a bit OLDER, I need all the kegels I can get. The Kegel Fairy is the most effective tool, frankly, I’ve found to help me remember to do them.

So THANK YOU, Kristen, for putting this particular vagina through its paces lately. I’m sure glad the Kegel Fairy has come to live in my house!
