OhMiBod launches its own smart kegel exerciser
Kegels seem to be everywhere these days, and as soon as a body part gets popular, people start making gadgets for it. Sex-tech pioneers OhMiBod is the latest to follow in the footsteps of kGoal, Skea and Elvie by creating its very own smartphone-connected kegel exerciser, the Lovelife Krush. The device connects to your phone over Bluetooth LE and pushes data to a brand new companion app, TASL. Like the others, this one is placed in your delicate area for you to squeeze, while the built-in sensors push real-time feedback and coaching tips to the app.

NASA will begin recruiting astronauts for a new class on December 14. And Lytro announced a new virtual reality camera that would change the traditional multi-camera set-up to collect VR content and turn it into needing only one (very expensive) camera.
Smart Kegel exerciser can hurt women as much as it helps
If men can have a fitness device for their nether regions, women certainly can, too. Minna Life has released the kGoal, a $149 "smart Kegel exerciser" that helps you work your pelvic floor muscles (read: the vaginal area) in order to both improve your sexual performance and fight disorders like incontinence. It provides real-time feedback through sound, touch and visuals, and you'll know you're on the right track through a companion smartphone app that gauges your progress. If all goes well, kGoal should take the mystery out of Kegels -- you'll build strong muscles by developing a proper technique and setting achievable goals.
A piece about a smart pelvic floor exerciser, written by someone totally out of their depth
The quantified self movement is all about strapping gadgets to our bodies to tell us that we don't get enough exercise. The trend may have neglected certain parts of the body, which is something that adult toy manufacturer Minna Life wants 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, offering real-time feedback on strength as well as enabling people to track their performance.
