To be honest, I have always wanted something to help myself work out my Kegel muscles. In high school, I had read about how women could strengthen these muscles to enhance their sex life and make their orgasms more enjoyable. Granted, I didn't have much of a sex life then, BUT I still worked on my Kegel muscles.

For those of you who have been living under a rock, or just haven't heard about Kegel exercises, I will explain more: "Kegel muscles" (AKA pelvic floor muscles) basically provide support to bladder, small intestine, uterus, and rectum. This all probably sounds a little confusing, but if you have ever stopped the flow of urine while going to the bathroom, you have used your kegel muscles. There are many factors that would lead one to have a weakening of these muscles, like childbirth. The weakening of these muscles could lead to things like urinary/bowel incontinence so these muscles are something to be aware of.

So, you can actually work these muscles on your own while driving, eating dinner, walking, brushing your teeth, whatever! You just tighten them and then relax and do it again. It does get easier to do as you become more aware of the muscles you are using. For those heterosexual couples, when you're having sex, try doing your kegel exercises! If you can do them on your own, then why get the Lelo Pleasure Bead System? Oh ho ho! I am SOOO glad you asked. These pleasure beads are wonderful. They have a little weight inside of them that rolls around as you move which creates a sort of vibration inside of you and I feel like that vibration reminds you to clamp down. I find the experience very enjoyable. The Mini pleasure beads are almost too small for me, but it creates a sort of challenge for me of "how long can I keep this in while I clean the house" which is a fun game!

I really love this product because there is a string and a holder for the beads. You can put them in the holder, or not! The string makes retrieval easy because without it, you'd have to try and push them out like you're laying an egg. I have used similar products before without strings and it is just an uncomfortable experience. That string really adds some piece of mind! The small weight inside the bead isn't very loud so you don't need to worry about others hearing it rolling around inside you. It'll just be your little secret! The colors are a sort of pearlescent pink and blue which is beautiful in my opinion. I love the plastic material, makes the beads easy to clean. I would really give these an A+ and would buy them for all my friends.
