Vaginal balls are balls that you insert into the vagina, and they are far from a novelty in the world of sex toys. You can also find them under the names: Love balls, Japanese balls, Chinese balls, Ben-Wa balls, Venus or Geisha balls.
The balls are intended for women and are available in various sizes: from a diameter of 2 cm to 4 cm or more. It is advisable to start with larger ones, then try smaller ones as you progress. You can use them for play during foreplay, but their main purpose is to train the pelvic floor muscles.
Pelvic floor muscles are extremely important for women's vitality. They control the contraction of vaginal muscles during orgasm, support the uterus, bladder, and colon, and regulate urination and defecation. Due to childbirth, aging, or excessive body weight, they can weaken. The consequence is urinary leakage during sports activity, laughing or coughing, and reduced sensitivity of the vagina.
You can use vaginal balls to negate or delay the weakening of pelvis floor muscles.
There are different types of vaginal balls: Kegel balls, typical Ben Wa balls, and vibrating balls. Below we have described them - you will immediately know which balls are meant!
Kegel vaginal balls
Kegel balls are usually quite hard and rigid, coated with a layer of silicone. They are also generally larger than other balls. These balls are most suitable for pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises). Besides muscle training, you can of course also use them for your pleasure. The balls can be single or double (two together).
Ben Wa vaginal balls
Ben-Wa balls are also vaginal balls. You recognize them by their appearance, as they are made of glass or metal and do not have a string. The balls are suitable both for training pelvic floor muscles and for pleasure. Since these are two separate balls that are not connected by a string, you have to try a bit harder during exercises.
The balls can be hollow, or weighted (they contain another ball that causes additional shaking), and there are also magnetic models. If you use the balls for the first time, you can start with just one and gradually continue using both. Because in this case, due to the magnet, the balls automatically attract each other, making them easier to insert and remove. However, these balls are generally a bit heavier than others.
Vibrating balls
Vibrating balls have an added special effect - vibrations. The balls are most often controlled using a remote control, making them very suitable for use during foreplay. Hand the remote to your partner and enjoy the vibrations they cause.
When purchasing vaginal balls, pay attention to the diameter. Especially if you are buying the balls for the first time. It may seem strange, but it is better to start with larger vaginal balls than with small ones. Larger models due to their size stay in place more easily, so it is less likely that they will fall out of the vagina. Large balls are balls with a diameter of 4 cm. Once you master them, also try those with a smaller diameter. Are you a regular user of balls and need serious training of vaginal muscles? Then models smaller than 1.5 cm are for you.
There are different materials of balls. We have presented the most common ones below.
Metal: metal balls are very suitable for pelvic floor exercises due to their weight. They are smooth and easy to insert. Of all the balls, these are the easiest to clean. You do this with warm water and soap. Did you know that you can even warm them up before inserting them?
Glass: glass balls are similar to metal balls, as they are very smooth and therefore easy to insert. However, glass models are often larger than metal ones because they weigh less. Glass balls are also easy to clean.
Silicone: Silicone balls are balls that have a silicone string or are coated with silicone. This material is very suitable for Kegel exercises because of its softness. On the other hand, they are harder to clean and you must be careful which lubricant you use. Silicone sex toys are not compatible with silicone lubricant, so use water-based lubricant!
Almost all types of vaginal balls, except the above-described Ben Wa, are available with a string. The advantage of balls with a string is that they are very easy to remove. In addition, you can occasionally pull them while they are inserted to feel a bit more stimulation and make the training harder. The only disadvantage of balls with a string is that they are harder to clean.
There are also balls for anal use, which you can find in the category Anal beads, so we advise you not to use the same balls for the vagina and anus.
Depending on which type of vaginal balls you buy, there are different ways to insert them. If you have one ball, you probably know how. Get comfortable, take some water-based lubricant, apply it to the ball and the vaginal opening, and gently insert the ball inside you. If you have double balls without a string, usually one is smaller and heavier. The other is lighter. Insert the lighter ball first and push it as deep as possible. Then insert the other ball. If the balls are connected by a string, insert them so that the loop remains outside.
For easier insertion, use lubricant. Be careful not to use too much, so the ball doesn't slip out of the vagina. If you are using the balls for the first time, we recommend that you lie down while inserting them. You will be able to keep the balls inside you more easily by squeezing your legs and doing some simple Kegel exercises.
How far can I insert vaginal balls?
You cannot insert the balls too far, so you don't need to worry. Your hand is definitely not long enough to push the balls too deep. Insert the balls about 6 cm deep.
Can vaginal balls stay in the vagina?
No, the balls cannot get stuck and you will not end up in the emergency room. The vagina is elastic, one way or another you will get them out. Are you having trouble removing them? There are various options. The easiest way to remove them is to push them out. Tighten the lower part of your abdomen, similar to when you are defecating. If that does not work, use the following tips:
If nothing else works, ask your partner for help. The balls will come out sooner or later.
What should I feel when wearing the balls?
When using erotic toys of this category, there is no particular sensation. A young lady, 20 years old, who has not had children, will probably feel something completely different than a woman, 50 years old, with 5 children. However, do not expect flashing peaks and orgasms, you can expect that from a vibrator or other sex toys. The balls are mainly made for training vaginal muscles, but there are also many women who experience sexual satisfaction from them.
How long can I wear the balls?
You can wear the balls continuously for up to 30 minutes. To start, ten minutes is enough. However, if you wear them while doing other work, you will probably have them longer. Each body reacts differently to the balls, so monitor your feelings. Do they start to irritate? Then remove them. Do not use the balls for more than 30 minutes to prevent overloading the pelvic floor muscles.
How do I ensure the balls do not fall out?
As you continuously contract your vaginal muscles while using them, the balls should stay inside you. If you have problems and they fall out when you sit or stand, lie down. At the beginning, definitely use larger balls, preferably with a string.
It is very important to clean the toy before and after use. Clean the balls with warm water and antibacterial hand soap or even better with a special cleaner for erotic toys. Just make sure to remove all soap before you store or insert them. When cleaning balls with a string, be sure to thoroughly clean the string as well. Do not allow any traces of mucus or soap to remain anywhere on the balls. This can create a perfect environment for bacteria and fungi.
