The easiest way to explain a Kegel is to squeeze your cheeks. DO NOT use your stomach. I do a set of ten quick ones and then a set of ten where you hold each one for 3-4 seconds. After my catheter was removed I did them every hour I was awake. As soon as I finished my two sets I set my timer for 1 hour so I never forgot.
You can also go on-line and type in Kegel exercises and many sites and demonstrations come up. The ones I described were recommended by my surgeon. Best of luck to you. KJ

Sorry but no. The LAST thing you want to do when doing Kegels is "squeeze your cheeks"
My wife yelled at me. “You don’t squeeze your cheeks!”
She said, “tell them to ask their wives”. I’ll explain it another way: try to shorten your penis by pulling it in toward your body. You will also feel it in your sphincter.
Do not use your stomach. Hope this helps
So you are doing a set every hour for 18 hours each and every day? Is that right or was that just after having your catheter removed? That might be contributing to your success.

BTW, I’m still doing them even though I’m continent. I just want to make that area stronger.
