Editing Kegel exercise (section)

==Pelvic toning devices==
Some devices, marketed to women, are for exercising the pelvic floor muscles and to improve the muscle tone of the [[pubococcygeal]] or vaginal muscle.

As of 2013, there was no evidence that doing pelvic floor exercise with weights worked better than doing Kegel exercises without weights; there is greater risk with weights, because a foreign object is introduced into the vagina.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Herbison|first1=GP|last2=Dean|first2=N|title=Weighted vaginal cones for urinary incontinence|journal=The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews|date=8 July 2013|volume=2013 |issue=7|pages=CD002114|pmid=23836411|doi=10.1002/14651858.CD002114.pub2|pmc=7086390}}</ref><ref name="bjui.org" />

===Marketing===
During the latter part of the 20th century, a number of medical and pseudo-medical devices were marketed to consumers as improving sexual performance or [[orgasm]]s, increasing "[[Energy (esotericism)|energy]]", "balancing hormones", and as having other health or lifestyle benefits. There  is no evidence for any of these claims, and many of them are [[pseudoscience]].<ref name="skeptical">{{cite news |last1=Tuteur |first1=Amy |title=Vaginal weight lifting |url=http://www.skepticalob.com/2008/12/vaginal-weight-lifting.html |work=The Skeptical OB |date=18 December 2008 |access-date=1 June 2018 |archive-date=8 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221108120622/http://www.skepticalob.com/2008/12/vaginal-weight-lifting.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=No, Gwyneth Paltrow, women should not put jade eggs in their vaginas, gynecologist says|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/01/22/no-gwyneth-paltrow-women-should-not-put-jade-eggs-in-their-vaginas-gynecologist-says/|access-date=6 February 2017|newspaper=Washington Post|archive-date=12 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210212191255/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/01/22/no-gwyneth-paltrow-women-should-not-put-jade-eggs-in-their-vaginas-gynecologist-says/|url-status=live}}</ref>
