1. An isometric vaginal exercise device comprising:

  • a. a shaft having first and second ends, said shaft being substantially round;

    b. flange means connected to the first end of said shaft for limiting insertion of said isometric vaginal exercise device into the vagina of a user, wherein said flange means is substantially oval, said flange means having a major axis and a minor axis, said isometric vaginal exercise device being insertable into a vagina so that the major axis is approximately parallel to the vaginal slit, the length of the minor axis being such that the flange fits conveniently between the legs of the user;

    c. handle means attached to the first end of said shaft for enabling a user to conveniently insert and remove said isometric vaginal exercise device into and from her vagina,said shaft being rounded at its second end to ease insertion of said isometric vaginal exercise device,said shaft having a longitudinal axis and a substantially concave portion adjacent said flange, a portion of said shaft immediately adjacent to said flange having a first diameter, the diameter of said shaft gradually decreasing to a second diameter at a first point on said axis, said first point being located approximately centrally of said concave portion, the diameter of said shaft gradually increasing to a third diameter at a second point on said axis, said second point being located at an end of said concave portion, a first portion of said isometric vaginal device being located between first and second planes perpendicular to said axis and passing through said first and second points, respectively, the distance between said first and second points and said second and third diameters being selected to allow sufficient gripping of said first portion to effect substantial lifting of the pelvic diaphragm of the user when she tightens her vaginal muscles on said isometric vaginal exercise device, enabling the user to achieve isometric exercising of the vaginal muscles and muscles of the pelvic diaphragm while the muscles of the pelvic diaphragm are in a shortened configuration resulting from said lifting,said isometric vaginal exercise device being of sufficiently solid construction to substantially resist all muscular contractions of the user without substantial deforming of said isometric vaginal device.
