summary

Labella is a tangible prototype combining a pair of underwear with a mobile phone app that recognizes a printed crotch marker and overlays anatomy, pelvic floor animations, timing workouts and an optional photo step. Evaluated with 14 women (ages 25–63), it reveals surprising gaps—many participants didn’t know terms like vulva or urethra—while enabling women to visualize pelvic contractions, practice Kegels anywhere, and report feeling empowered. Humor and awkwardness are designed features; some users struggle with body shape or glasses but overall the system supports embodied learning.
