judge and correct certain movements. In exercising alone,
I think a light loose pyjama suit would be better, at least
after the principles and details of the exercises have been
fully mastered. A loose pyjama suit gives fuller ventilation
than even the lightest cotton, silk or " rayon" tricot
combination, and avoids pressure or friction on groins or
perineum. Of course, any woman who is accustomed to
do other gymnastic exercises nude can remain so in this case,
too ; but she should keep the temperature of her room under
control, as pelvic exercises should be performed more slowly
than those of arms, neck or trunk.
Direct perineal exercises are, of course, best performed
without clothing. The same is the case in puerperal pelvic
exercises, i.e., after child-birth.
