The Energie by Natural Contours is a kegel exerciser. With natural aging and after childbirth your PC muscles will begin to weaken, the Energie is intended to help strengthen those muscles. Strengthening your PC muscles helps with urinary problems (have you ever "leaked" when you sneezed before?) and many women say it will tighten their vagina and help produce more intense orgasms.

The Energie is intended to be used by women before and after childbirth, women with urinary incontinence, women who want to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles, and any woman who wants to maintain a healthy and active sex life!

To use the Energie you should lay on your back with your knees raised. Relax and slowly insert the larger end just inside the vagina. Holding the Energie in your hand, take a deep breath and when you breathe out tighten your PC muscles and hold for 30 seconds. When you're tightening your PC muscles you should imagine pulling the Energie up towards your belly button with your muscles only. Keep repeating this process for 10 reps, while you slowly insert the Energie a little bit more each time. Be sure to rest between your reps and continue doing this for 5-10 minutes.

You should exercise daily for 5-10 minutes for the first two weeks, then after the first two weeks you can start exercising your kegels every other day for only 5 minutes to maintain your muscle strength. Once you feel like you've started strengthening your PC muscles you can actually switch the smaller end of the Energie for a more intense workout. The smaller end makes you squeeze your muscles harder to contract around it, plus you have heavier weight resistance outside of you with the larger end not inserted.

While the Energie can be used as a regular dildo if you aren't into kegel exercises, I would not recommend using the Energie for anal use. It lacks a flared base and therefore can get lost inside you. I would also take care when using the Energie as a regular dildo since it is made out of iron-ore metal encased with plastic and it could easily bruise your cervix if you aren't careful.

The Energie is cast out of iron-ore and coated with plastic, which rates an 8 on the material safety scale. Weighing at approximately 1 pound, the Energie is quite heavy and feels very sturdy in your hand.

I don't notice any smell or taste from the Energie. The plastic is hard and smooth and the Energie is very firm. I think the texture is nice for beginners or advanced users because you're not using the toy to thrust with for the most part, just for exercise.

The Energie is 6 1/2 inches long with about 6 inches of insertable length. The smaller end is 1 1/4 inches in diameter while the larger end is 1 1/2 inches in diameter. The Energie has an ergonomic design and weighs a full pound so it is quite heavy and nice. I think the size is absolutely fantastic for a kegel exerciser or a dildo.



Printed on the Energie are the words Natural Contours on one side and Energie on the other side. This is printed in a silvery color and can't be felt when running your finger over it.



On either side of the Energie by the printed words there are some little ridges that seem like they were caused by a mold. You can very slightly feel these with your fingers, but I couldn't feel them at all when inserting the Energie.


The Energie does not have a realistic look; in fact it looks like an oddly shaped barbell or a telephone receiver. Since it looks and feels like an unusual barbell it is incredibly discreet.


Because of the heavy weight I'm not sure if you'd want to travel with your Energie, but if you do, it comes with a fantastic case for traveling or storing the Energie inside.

When using the Energie you really do get a killer kegel workout! I've been using this for over a week and the first couple of days my PC muscles were really sore, now they're just mildly sore and it's slowly starting to get easier and easier. I have noticed a difference in my kegel strength when squeezing my muscles around my partner's penis during sex, and so has he! In fact, he even thinks I seem tighter. I've never had a kid in my life and I'm only 21-years-old so I'm the perfect example of the Energie working for someone who doesn't even have any problems with her PC muscles.

The Energie has strengthened my muscles so much that I almost feel like I could achieve a g-spot orgasm, which has never happened to me before!

Caring for the Energie is incredibly easy! Since the Energie is made of non-porous plastic it can easily be cleaned with warm water and an antibacterial soap or by wiping it down with isopropyl alcohol.

I store my Energie in the plastic storage case that it came in. It's very nice and I keep it right by my bed so I remember to use it every morning like Natural Contours suggests in their instructions.

The Energie is compatible with all types of lubrication! You can use silicone-based lube, water-based lube, or oil-based lube and you will not run into any issues!

Natural Contours thought of everything with this exerciser, they even included an amazing storage case! The case is very simple, but is easily one of my favorite cases for any toy I own. It's made out of a very sturdy plastic and once you remove the lid you can see the Energie resting in a perfect cutout for it. The only problem I had with the Energie is that the box is printed with the words "vaginal muscle trainer" on the outside of the lid so it isn't discreet and I wouldn't leave it out.

Included with the Energie is a little instruction page. I found the instructions incredibly easy to understand and I haven't had any issues with them!



Around the storage case is a cardboard sleeve with a picture of the Energie, its name, and some information about it. The outer sleeve isn't very discreet since it does have a photo and information about uses for the Energie. You could keep this sleeve to hold the lid on your inner box, or you can simply dispose of it since the inner box is so nice.




I think the inner box would make an amazing gift box, but only if the person you're giving the Energie to wouldn't be embarrassed that is says "vaginal muscle trainer" on the lid.
