I think that’s how you spell it. For those that don’t know what a kegel is, you probably shouldn’t try to answer. It’s an exercise, is probably the most appropriate way to put it. I’ve heard of different ways to do it, but I can’t help but feel like I’m clenching everything when it’s only supposed to be specific muscles. Can someone think of an easy way to explain?
To make sure you’re clenching the right muscles;
Firstly go to the toilet and stop the flow of urine half way through – they are the muscles you need to be focusing on, when you then go to try Kegals insert a few fingers and tighten those muscles, you should feel them tightening around your fingers, that’s how you know you’re focusing on the right muscles (if you feel the muscles of your buttocks tighten then it’s not right either, just relax your buttocks).
To do Kegals;
Method 1;
Flex those muscles ten times, do three sets (that’s 30 squeezes in total) – think about those muscles you found with the above method, and while flexing them think about it like trying to squeeze out a sponge with your vagina, and be sure to breathe deeply. Do this three times a day.
Method 2;
Flex and hold for between 2-4 seconds, then relax for 10 seconds – again it’s like squeezing a sponge, breathe deeply, and with this method you do ten sets. Do this three times a day.
If you still have problems then think about getting tools to help – barbells, smart balls, for example – these do no more than Kegals will, and they can be expensive because companies know women will pay for them, but they may be a good idea for you rather than trying to do Kegals.
The reason I suggest them is because these work as your vagina has to flex naturally to keep them in place, it takes the guess work out for you because you don’t have to be constantly thinking about what muscles to flex or counting how many flexes you are doing. It also means you have something physical there to help you learn the feeling of these muscles – not just for doing Kegals, but the whole point of Kegals (other than for helping to make labour easier and prevent incontinence) is to make sex feel better, and so for that you’d have to know which muscles to flex during sex.

okay um this is hard to explain but what you do is just tighten your muscles down there i dont know how you want to do that but maybe for practice if you really want put a finger up there and just squeeze it try it it might help ahah :]

you use your vaginal muscles to contract, like you do to stop yourself from peeing (the same motion or muscle movement) this in time can strengthen and tighten your ‘area down there’. it feels like most of below your waist is contracting, which is correct.
answer mine?

Go pee and while your peeing stop the flow by tightening up your muscles. That’s a kegel. Just keep doing it while your sitting or doing whatever.

The more muscles you flex, the better the exercise is.
You’re doing yourself nothing but good.
