Even though I wasn't initially excited about this unassuming, boring-looking toy, its turned out to be fantastic. Use it to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and you will reap the benefits that go along with that - easier, stronger orgasms and improved bladder control.

With its generous girth, it works well as a G-spot toy too.

My PC Exerciser is made of bamboo. Its lightweight, but hard. It looks like multiple layers of bamboo were glued together, sanded thoroughly, then coated with NobEssence's Lubrosity coating, a durable, natural finish. Its surface is shiny and completely smooth.

The end with one egg-shaped bulb is less shiny than the other end. It appears to have less Lubrosity coating than the other side.

NobEssence uses renewable materials for their products, making it a green product.

The PC Exerciser has one egg-shaped bulb at one end, a wasp waist and two bulbs at the other end. The larger end has a circumference of five inches. The entire toy is six and a half inches long. NobEssence's logo is stamped into the smaller of the two bulbs on one end.

Although no instructions are provided, I believe that the larger end is intended for insertion and the two-bulb end is meant to serve as a handle.

Its size might be a bit larger than some women like for insertion, but this also makes it easy to squeeze against. It is well sized for kegel exercise beginners.

Because of the large size of the egg-shaped end, this toy provides considerable resistance during use. There are no instructions for use included. Through experimentation, I've come up with a system that works wonderfully.

First, empty your bladder. Then use lube and insert the egg-shaped end. Squeeze as hard as you can as you tug on it with one hand. This will give you plenty of resistance. You can adjust the amount of resistance you desire easily by varying how hard you pull on it. Then release your hand and draw it back inside you as far as you can using only your pelvic floor muscles. Its quite satisfying to feel it move back inside.

I sometimes pull/resist until I can't keep it inside any longer. Pulling on it forces you to squeeze as hard as possible, guaranteeing that your workout is a good one. Its large size means its easy to exert a great deal of force as you squeeze.

I usually feel a little sore from this the next day. Delicious soreness. Thats how strong muscles are made.

The one drawback is that occasionally my urethra feels a little twitchy afterward. I haven't had any trouble peeing and I don't know if that feeling has any significance.

I don't believe that my pelvic floor muscles are particularly strong, from what I can tell. That may be why I like the larger size of this kegel exerciser so much. Even someone with weak muscles should be able to feel satisfying resistance from this exerciser.

I don't believe that ball-type kegel exercisers can offer as good a pelvic floor muscle workout as barbell exercisers like this one. Maybe if you pull on the retrieval cord as you use them they would, but I've had terrible luck breaking the retrieval cords of that style of exerciser.

Used for G-spot stimulation, its wonderful. The large end gives you a wide area so you can massage your entire G-spot. The other end is a great handle no matter whether you use this toy for exercise or fun.

The PC Muscle Exerciser is an easy care product. Simply wash in soap and water after use, then towel dry. NobEssence states that its even ok to soak their products, although I'm not sure what circumstance would inspire you to do that.

Any lube can be used with this toy.

It can be stored in the luxurious box it comes in if desired. I store it in a sock, which provides just enough protection and doesn't take up much room either.

The PC Muscle Exerciser comes in the same luxurious, attractive box as all NobEssence toys. While the box is sturdy and looks nice, its not terribly functional. It opens vertically and I find that nearly every time I pick it up, I grab it too high and I find myself with only the top in my hand, not the entire box. If you do manage to pick up the entire box the top fits loosely and will fall off the minute it tips sideways enough.

I store my PC Exerciser in a sock instead.

I may end up using the larger part of the box to store knitting needles. Its an attractive box and is padded on the inside. Its just not practical.
