These leopard printed duo tone balls are designed for vaginal exercise. Vaginal exercisers are intended to help women strengthen their PC muscles by helping out with kegels.Now I have seen a bit of controversy around the forums here at Eden as to whether these types of instruments are actually useful in tightening those muscles. I personally have noticed a difference after using my Ophoria K Balls regularly, but I think that, like most products you will find on this site, it is all a matter of personal preference and what works for you.

These balls in particular are a bit heavier feeling than the Ophoria K Balls, and are more rounded out and smooth. The K Balls were quite larger, more oval shaped, and had ribs on them. Unfortunately those have been discontinued, but they are the only thing I have to compare these to.

These balls weigh in at 4 oz., and have a circumference of 4 1/4 inches. I would say that is slightly bigger than a jawbreaker. They are connected by a nylon cord, which also acts as the retrieval cord. Don't count on it working though. More on that later.

Duotones are made of Plastic, which is non porous and phthalate free. This plastic is smooth and hard. I almost feel like there is a type of laminate sealing the design on, just because of how smooth it is.
There is a metal ball encased inside of the plastic shell, which is not rust proof. The one that fell in the water is rusted to hell already, and that was a little over a week ago.

You can clean these by using warm soap and water. They are compatible with all lubes, so if you need a little to help you get them in don't fret as to what kind you can use.

I have really struggled with writing this review. If you read some of my reviews, you will notice a pattern. If I don't like something, it's hard for me to write about it, and my reviews will be less useful. If I really like something, I will have an easy time writing about it, and my reviews will be much more useful.
The challenge of this review is, how do you review something you only got to use once?

I wanted to like these. I really did. They are heavier than the Ophoria K Balls I have, and I really liked them. I got to wear the first pair I received for a day, and I really enjoyed the way I could feel the metal ball rolling around inside of me. I think that the sensation can be felt more because the ball is heavier, and the plastic casing is large enough for the ball to have room to move around.

Then there was the fatal error. When I went to use the bathroom I pulled on the nylon retrieval cord to take them out, and *plop* half of the first ball came off with the cord. The metal ball went into the toilet, and I got to fish it out. (Luckily I didn't go to the bathroom yet) So I stuck them in my pocket and snuck them past my family into my purse where they would be safe from prying toddler hands.

I was hoping that it was a simple error that could be overlooked, and ordered a second pair. I was very excited to get them, only to find that they fell apart as well. In fact, the second pair fell apart as soon as I held them up by the Nylon cord.

Needless to say I am disappointed with the manufacturer of these and I hope they can figure out a way to fix this problem. Luckily they are quite cheap, so I am not out of a lot of money. Don't buy these unless you want to take the gamble.
