A very special project right out of our think innovation labs: the Kegel-Reminder.

A 1.5kb small file with large effects. Applied correctly it works as a subtitle file for videos and movies played back on your computer – and reminds you to do squeeze your pelvic floor muscles in regular time spans. A modest green SQUEEZE! appears at the lower part of the screen.

Why training the pelvic floor muscles? Well, Mr. Kegel, as well as Yogis some thousand years ago,  found out that a well trained pelvic floor not only prevents urinary incontinence, but also has a flowery effect during lovemaking. For she and him. You can find more information when searching for “Kegel excercise” or in the courses of Agama Yoga.

Instruction on the installation:

• download this file (right click -> save link as…)
• put it in the same folder as your movie file (typically .avi or .mov) is located
• give it the same name as your movie you want to watch. if the movie is called “holiday-video.avi” your subtitle file has to be named “holiday-video.srt”
• play back the movie file with a media player which supports srt subtitles (eg. VLC Media Player, Windows Media Player Classic). the subtitles will be added automatically. the first message should appear in the first second and last for a minute, so you can check if it works.
• squeeze!
