I'm all for Kegels, really. But do we really need a genital gym to keep our lady parts healthy?

[N]ow comes the first medi spa in Manhattan wholly dedicated to strengthening and grooming a woman's genital area. Phit -- short for pelvic health integrated techniques -- is to open this month on East 58th Street.

Dr. Lauri Romanzi, a gynecologist who performs pelvic reconstruction surgery, said she came up with the idea for the spa one day while walking by an outlet of BriteSmile, the tooth-whitening chain. She liked that the stores cater to people with healthy teeth.

So Dr. Romanzi developed her own concept of "pelvic fitness" for healthy women. She said that Phit (www.theperfectphit.com) will help women get "in shape from the inside out."

First of all, isn't that the new tagline for Metamucil? Also, as the article points out, isn't this just another way to make women feel like they have to be pro-active about making their vaginas "acceptable?" Whether it's through convincing women that they need "rejuvenation" surgeries or that they're unkempt without Brazilian waxes - I'm sick of pathologizing our poor vaginas. Give the poor girls a break!

But Dr. Romanzi says that her spa is all about health: "If you can vote and you have a vagina, you should do these...It's the dental floss of feminine fitness." Ew.

One question: Does this mean I need to get my vagina a sweatband?
