Ever wondered if those mysterious little weights you’ve seen online (or maybe in a sexy boutique) can really make a difference down there? Spoiler: they can—and then some.
Kegel balls (aka Ben Wa balls, pleasure balls, or vaginal weights) are more than just pretty little orbs. They’re power tools for your pelvic floor, designed to strengthen muscles that can improve bladder control, boost orgasms, and even help post-baby recovery. But best of all? They can feel really, really good.
Let’s dive into how to use them, why they’re amazing, and how to get the most out of your squeeze session.
Imagine a small, weighted ball—sometimes two—designed to be inserted into the vagina. Think of them as tiny dumbbells for your pelvic floor muscles. They come in different sizes, weights, and materials (usually silicone or metal), and some even have a little string or loop for easy removal.
You can use them during workouts, house chores, or just lounging around—turns out multitasking can be sexy.
Why Use Kegel Balls?
If you’re curious about what these little wonders can do for you, here’s a quick lowdown:
-
Stronger Orgasms: A toned pelvic floor can lead to more intense and easier-to-achieve orgasms.
-
Increased Sensation: More awareness of those internal muscles = more pleasure during sex.
-
Better Bladder Control: Peeing when you sneeze? Not cute. Kegels can help.
-
Postpartum Recovery: They’re often recommended after childbirth to help your body bounce back.
-
Sexy Fun: Honestly, they just feel good for some people.
How to Use Kegel Balls (Without Feeling Like You’re in a Yoga Class for Your Vagina)
Let’s break it down into simple, sexy steps:
1. Pick the Right Pair
If you’re new to this, go for:
-
Larger + lighter balls (easier to hold in)
-
Silicone (comfortable and body-safe)
-
Something with a retrieval cord—trust us on this
As you get stronger, you can try smaller or heavier ones for a challenge.
2. Clean ‘Em Up
Wash your Kegel balls with warm water and gentle soap before and after each use. You wouldn’t put anything else in your body without cleaning it first, right?
3. Get in the Mood
You don’t have to be turned on, but being relaxed helps. Try using a water-based lube to make insertion smoother. Lube = your pelvic floor’s BFF.
4. Slide Them In
Lie down or squat. Gently push the balls in one at a time, like inserting a tampon. They should sit comfortably a few inches inside you—no need to shove them all the way to Narnia.
5. Squeeze and Go
Once they’re in, squeeze your pelvic muscles like you’re trying to stop a wee mid-flow. Hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat. You can also walk around and let your muscles naturally engage to keep them in.
Start with 5–10 minutes a day, a few times a week. Gradually build up as you get stronger.
6. Take Them Out
Relax. Gently pull on the retrieval cord or bear down with your muscles to nudge them out. Never yank.
Tips for a Good Time (and Good Technique)
-
Don’t wear them for hours—short sessions are key.
-
Avoid if you have an active infection, are pregnant (without doc’s OK), or just gave birth.
-
Listen to your body. If it’s uncomfortable, stop.
-
Try them during foreplay or solo play—yes, Kegel balls can be a very sexy toy.
Final Thoughts: Your Pleasure, Your Power
Using Kegel balls isn’t just about “tightening”—it’s about connecting with your body, boosting confidence, and turning everyday moments into tiny (or not-so-tiny) orgasms of joy. Whether you’re strengthening for better sex, better control, or just because it feels good, there’s zero shame in the game.
So go on, grab a set, lube up, and start squeezing. Your pelvic floor will thank you—and so might your partner.
