I'm a skeptic myself, just wondering.

Not to sound ignorant.. But are they just an aid to kegel exercises? Or do they do something else?

They can, but it is highly dependent on the effort you put in to using them.

Yes, they are. Since I've been doing kegels (and using Luna Beads, which I will write a review on very soon), I have been more sensitive down there to penetration, I've had more control over my muscles during masturbation which has heightened the pleasant sensations (when me and my SO are reunited in the winter, I'll be demonstrating on his cock, which I'm sure he'll appreciate , and my orgasms have been more intense and have lasted longer. I've never had kids and I'm only 26, but I have heard from reputable sources and straight from the horse's mouth at times, that for older women and women who have had kids, the difference between doing kegels and not doing kegels, can be huge.

Why so skeptical?

Yes - as with most things. You have to be consistent and put forth the proper effort. But if you do, the results are worth it.

They are, but few put in the effort to actually do them, and do them regularly

Yeah, it definitely works, but you have to put forth the effort. You need to do them consistently like any exercise.

YES. In both males and females, doing your kegels improves your sex life! My partner and I both do them regularly, it helps him control when he cums and it lets me tighten up for him.

Yes without a doubt, as long as you do them, they improve orgasms and prevent incontinence

Kegel exercises are definitely helpful, as long as you keep up with them. Just doing a couple once or twice a month won't get you anywhere fast.
