Ever wished you could put a FitBit in your most private part?

Meet the Lioness, the first smart vibrator to hit the market. It’s mission, in addition to doing the thing a vibrator usually does, is to help women understand how their bodies respond to pleasure. Basically it’s a wearable for your vagina.

It's the brainchild of Liz Klinger, who first introduced it as part of an Indiegogo campaign in April 2016. The company hit their $50,000 goal in just three days, proving there is, in fact, a demand for these kinds of insights. Now the vibrator is officially shipping, and you can get yours for $229.

The Lioness looks like a pretty standard vibrator on the outside, but inside it has four sensors that measure temperature, the force of muscle contractions, and track the movement of the device.

When you’re done with your session, you can sync the Lioness with its app (available for iOS and Android). It then provides you with easy-to-read visualization of what was happening to your body while you were busy getting off.

So, yes, essentially it gives you a map of your orgasm. You can also tag each session with different terms so you can track how your health, sleep, alcohol consumption, mood, etc. affect your experiences.

Why exactly would you want access to this kind of information, aside from the fact that it’s just plain fascinating? Klinger told Mashable that the main goal is to help women to understand how their body responds to sexual stimulation and what works best for them.

This is particularly clutch for women who’ve had issues with their sex drive or with not achieving orgasm. The orgasm gap is a real thing, and it refers to the fact that women are much less likely to reach climax during sex.

The end goal is to be able to give concrete feedback about what they can do to maximize their pleasure. With feedback from a gadget like the Lioness, women can see for themselves what does and doesn’t work.

Even in beta testing, it's already providing interesting data about the different varieties of orgasm--some have a single, more intense release, while others experience a climax as smaller waves.

To aid in that quest, the data collected from individual vibrators is being pooled to try to observe larger patterns. Don't worry, thought, it's anonymized and the company has taken pains to ensure your most intimate data is as secure as it can be.

While similar wearables already exists for men, data like this for women was previously only available from equipment in sex research labs, which you’re not going to end up in just on a whim.

So, the fact that it’s now within reach of a large swath of women could have a big impact -- even if it is a costly gadget. And if you're personally eager to up your orgasm game, this could be a valuable tool.
