I discussed this with the lady I nanny for, which surprisingly wasn't awkward. But she said she did a ton when she was pregnant and has EXTREMELY strong PC muscles now. She didn't use balls or anything, but she has heard of it. She says she just stopped her urine mid stream for exercises. Mine are very weak because, I can't keep it stopped. And, I don't know if I'm doing them right.
Have you ever used eggs or rocks?

I've only ever used my Ami balls so far, no other tools.
Be careful with the urine stop method. It is an effective way to locate your muscles to know how to contract them. But, as the link you posted above says: "Doing so on a full bladder may weaken the pelvic floor muscles, according to MayoClinic.com, so only use this method if you are unable to locate the PC muscles another way." It may be counterproductive.
I have a hard time telling if I'm squeezing the muscles properly which is why I like having something to clench around, like my balls. When I clench my muscles, I can pull them higher inside me or shift them around and I can tell I'm doing it right, so it helps me.
