I ordered a pair of the Ben wa Balls by Nasstoys for the purpose of doing vaginal exercises because with age, comes the loss of muscle tone. Having babies only adds to this loss. I had read mixed reviews about the Ben wa Balls, but decided I would give them a try. I have another pair of small weighted balls, but have trouble keeping them in place when walking around.

The pair of vaginal balls I ordered are made of a semi hard plastic, that is non-porous and phthalate-free material. The balls are smooth, and are connected with a coated string. The retrieval string is also coated. The whole assembly is easily cleaned with warm water and an anti-bacterial soap. The overall length of the balls is five inches. The circumference of the balls is four and one-half inches, and the diameter is one and one-half inches. The colors are a soft hue of pink and purple.

After opening the box containing the balls; I first washed them thoroughly in warm water and soap, and dried them off. There was no strong smell of plastic when I first opened them. When I dried them off, I did notice that they wanted to hold onto the lint. I got another towel out; used it, and things were good.

I inserted the balls without any problems, or any use of lube. However, if lube is needed, you can use water, oil, or silicone. All are compatible with these balls. After inserting them, I could feel their presence and when I pulled on the retrieval string, I did notice some resistance.

I wore them for several hours around the house, and was aware of their presence, but not overly bothered by them being inside me. I could feel some vibrations when I would do certain things like climb steps or sit a certain way. As far as arousal, there wasn't any for me. When I went to remove them, I again felt some resistance when tugging on the cord. There was no noticeable odor when the balls were removed. Clean up was easy, and I stored mine in a Ziploc baggie to keep them from gathering lint and dust.

I have used my balls from time to time. I know that to get the best results from them, they should be used daily or at least on a regular basis. I have not been as faithful as I should have been using them, but I can tell a little difference in the tightness of my vaginal muscles.

I have used these balls on occasion, but I have not been consistent with using them to strengthen my vaginal muscles. If I use them consistently for several days, I can feel a difference. However, consistency is the key, and I just don't have the dedication to use them on a daily basis.
