Advanced kegel methods have mentioned using a washcloth because it's safe on the shaft and comfortable. As you become stronger you can soak the washcloth and do these while showering. I've never tried the bag, however, I am able to see the effects. Surferboy, please read up on the benefits of kegels for both males and females, or e-mail me and I'll answer what I can. Hollywood29, please post your o'clock position while using such weights.
