This little stainless steel beauties come in a plastic case with a molded foam bedding. They're about the size of your average marble (3/4 inch in diameter) and of about the same weight (unfortunately I like a scale that goes low enough to weigh them) On a counter top or in your sock drawer, these beads are unlikely to draw any attention. They very nearly look like some odd sort of jewelry (and in a way, aren't they?) A very travel friendly toy if I've ever seen one.

They're easy to clean with anything you care to clean them with that isn't acid based (Soap and water? check. Dishwasher? check. Washing machine? check.) and the non-porous surface means you don't have to worry about anything gathering in little crevices. With proper washing and safety precautions, these could be shared.

I have to say, I was expecting something bigger. These balls, while I can feel the weight, don't exert much in the way of pressure for me. Even the weight is comparatively minor and I can totally forget they're in as soon as the temperature begins to match my own. As the company description says: If you're worried about losing these little fellas, just pop them in a condom first for easy removal.

Speaking of temperature...You fans of temperature play, rejoice! Due to the nature of the material, these can be cooled to gain new sensations. Slide them in, or roll them on your back for fun new sensations.

Not into freezing cold steel balls making a surprise entry? I found it only took a moment or two of holding these balls in my hand to warm them up to something near body temperature and they feel great kneading into your tense muscles with a little massage oil.

They're not the heavy barbells of the vaginal workout toys, but they're a pleasure to use anyway!
