Inappropriate baby shower gift?

Contributor: bratcat bratcat
I have been giving some thought to getting a friend a set of kegael balls, specifically the Posh silicone O balls because they are silicone and seem beginner friendly, as a gift for her baby shower in June and was wondering if this may be a little inappropriate.
Some background: We have been friends for some years now, and she's very open to sexual experiences, which is part of the reason i was giving some thought to getting her an item like this. She also plans on have at home, vaginal, water-birth with the aid of a wetnurse.
I had originally planned on making her a baby sling, but my time and expenses are limited, while i can utilize some of my eden points to cover part of the cost of a vaginal exerciser.

Do you think this may be a little inappropriate as a baby shower gift or do you think it's a thoughtful gift you personally would appreciate?
And, for those of you who have had children vaginally, did you find that a kegel exerciser was helpful to you and you sexual health after birth?


As always suggestions are always welcome! (but keep in mind my expenses are very very limited so i need to find something inexpensive)

Sex in the shower
Do you like sex in the shower

Do you prefer showers or baths?
And why do you prefer it?

Do you sing in the shower?
Every time I visit my friend back in my home town, I can hear her sing in the shower. I wonder how many of you sing in the shower as well. : ]

Is this going to back in stock soon? I wanted to order it for Christmas but never got around to it.

Do you pee in the shower?
Have you ever pissed in the shower?! My brother-in-law told me the other day he does it all the time. So this morning while he was sleeping I dumped..

I probably would not give this gift at the shower itself, but from what you have said about your friend I don't think it would inappropriate. I would have loved to get one before I had my daughter. I just started kegeling with a "tool" and have nothing to add there but have done the kegel exercise for years. I like having something to use now

Based on your description of her and your relationship, I wouldn't say it's inappropriate at all. I would give some thought into whether she is opening her gifts at the shower though. Although I am open and sexual, I wouldn't feel comfortable if everyone in my family saw me open kegel balls.

I would not personally give it to her at the baby shower or if you do pull her to the side. I would get her something else for the shower in your budget then get the balls and give at another time.

I only did Kegals after I had my children without using Kegal balls or any other exercise toy.

Totally! Some people at the shower might be taken aback. The last thing you want to do at a shower is making people nervous, it`s time for everyone to have a good time. You can give her a card saying the gift is in your car and she can open it after the shower.

Based on what you've said, the gift sounds fine. But you're probably better off giving that to her in private.

Thanks for the input guys! i think i'll get her some goof gift to present at the shower that can maybe hint to it, and giver her the kegel balls in a more private after the shower.
I was thinking of also putting together a little thing about the benefits to doing kegels after giving birth vaginally.

That sounds like a GREAT idea!

When doing a recent video review, I also learned that doing kegels before and during pregnancy is also helpful. Strong PC muscles help support the weight of a growing uterus during pregnancy, and give you more control during the pushing portion of labor and delivery. That's a great gift idea!

I didnt realize! i think im going to make her a mini zine about kegeling facts and either giving her that during the shower and then giving her the balls after. Do you have any resources or articles i can use?

I agree, I wouldn't give it to her at the actual shower but if she's open minded - absolutely!

I googled it, and then only went to reputable sources like WebMD, Livestrong & National Institute of Health (NIH.gov). I couldn't use all the facts I found, as it was just for a short video, but that's where all the info came from.

I think this is a great idea! It really helps that the Posh balls don't have any sexual imagery on the front (which I think could easily turn the gift inappropriate if it did!)
