The Teneo Uno is a perfect kegel exerciser for some, but will surely leave others lacking sensation. The smaller size of the Uno is the biggest benefit and simultaneously the greatest downfall for this exerciser. It is beginner safe but not necessarily beginner satisfying. I would suggest the Duo as a first kegel ball unless you are worried about the size or if you know you are incredibly small vaginally.
I've always been one to do kegel exercises. I like to throw them in while I'm driving, tanning talking on the phone. I have never owned any type of kegel balls. After reading many kegel product reviews, I decided to purchase myself a whole set of kegel training balls. I bought both the Duo and the Uno. I was planning on starting with the uno to get myself ready. I was beyond excited for the little bit of buzz and the subconscious, discrete and sexy little reminder to work on my vaginal muscles to make my orgasms better. Although the Uno was adorable, it was not for me. I wanted something a little larger, something that I could really FEEL. If you're the type of girl who likes her exercise to have that pleasant little hard work kind of feeling, go ahead and skip past the Uno, you can handle the Duo.
It is my suggestion to buy a set of two before turning to the Uno. It is more likely the double set of smartballs will please you more. Regardless of my preference of the Duo, the Uno is fantastically made and perfect for someone who finds the larger balls uncomfortable. It is great for someone who wants to feel a little less invaded.
A quick note on kegels for real beginners: For your first acquaintance with your PC muscles (the ones that strengthen your orgasms, make you feel tighter, and strengthen your vagina overall), it is suggested that you stop your urine stream while going potty. Feel those muscles? Learn to isolate them. Learn to squeeze them. Learn to be aware of them. You'll likely notice them when you orgasm once you are aware they exist. Not quite ready to buy something to get these muscles in shape? You can exercise them with reps just like at the gym. Squeeze your newly discovered PC muscles for 10 seconds at a time, then release and repeat. The greatest part about PC exercise is they can be done anywhere and no one will know. All the while you are going to be improving the quality of your orgasms, childbirth will be easier and your vagina will be tighter as the muscles strengthen and add bulk. You will feel super sexy knowing you are improving your sex life.
Some women find it really hard to remember to do their kegel exercises. Others can find it difficult to isolate the muscles necessary to do their exercises. Fun Factory has created Smartballs, and the Uno, to help women remember to isolate and strengthen their muscles. The balls come in cute, fun colors. What more could you want?!
The Uno is a silicone toy, a 10 on the Eden safety scale! The most useful feature Fun Factory has developed on their Kegel Balls that really make them stand out among the rest is the stretchy attached loop. This loop allows for easy removal. There will be no losing your Uno inside of you, or struggling to grab on to a single little wet string.
All Fun Factory Toys are odorless and come in a variety of cute colors. The Uno is firm and slightly weighted at .4lbs. At the end of the looped removal string, there is a spherical ball. The sphere shape easily stays in place and will not accidentily falling out. The slight amount of ribbed velvety texture provides for additional sensation when you are moving about. I find this to be exceptionally nice when I am working out with my Fun Factory balls in place.
For me, Fun Factory takes the cake with design. From the silicone removal loop to the small indentation on the end of the toy for you to place you finger for insertion, you just can't beat it. Fun Factory also has innovative technology that makes the Uno incredibly smooth inside of you. Adding just a tiny bit of lubrication the Uno will easily slide inside of you and stay in place throughout your daily routine.
Both the Uno and the Duo are extremely discrete, perfect for traveling. When inserted, no one will even know you are wearing them. It will be your sexy little secret. I do suggested buying a little traveling case for your Uno, as it does not come with one.
For me, I preferred the size of the Duo. However, for those women with a smaller vagina, those who simply do not like double balls or those who desire something less intimidating the Uno is the perfect size. I really feel that it is beneficial to buy the Uno and the Duo together. You don't really know what you are going to like better until you've tried them both. However, if you are on a tighter budget, I feel the Duo is likely the better choice for the average woman. I feel this because I do more kegel exercisers with the double ball style, causing me to believe that the dual ball system is a better fit for most. Fun Factory has been innovative enough to create the Uno for those who aren't a fan of the double balled system.
This toy is fantastic for some but will fall short for others. I love the design, I love the colors and I love the material. I just simply preferred the double ball system. I still use my Uno from time to time, it serves me well when I am doing really rigorous exercise and my duo feels a little too invasive.
If the Uno fits your anatomy correctly, I imagine it would provide the same results the Duo did for me. It will give you a discrete way to remember to do your kegels. Your orgasms will be stronger, even more effortless. You will feel sexy with the full feeling inside of you. My smartballs keep me dripping wet and horny as hell all day long as I am much more aware of my vagina.
If you're looking for a cute, fun reminder to do kegels, tightening up your vagina and improving the quality of your sex life, I suggest Fun Factory kegel exercisers whole-heartedly. You just have to decide which size is for you.
The slight grooves and texture will require a more thorough cleaning than a completely smooth toy but the cleaning is worth the added sensation! Simple soap and water and a little bit of scrubbing is all that is needed. However, silicone can be boiled for cleaning. Water-based lube only if you want your exercise buddy to last a long time!
Your Uno is completely body friendly. It is hypo-allergenic and non-porous as well as latex and phthalates free.
As suggested earlier, a cute little carrying case would be a smart storage idea for your toy. Be sure to wash your Uno before your first use and after every use.
The Uno comes in a lovely and informative red and silver package. It's unfortunate the boxes cannot be used for storage (it's difficult to get it back in the box just right). The outside of the box provides information on the product as well as how to use it and the different parts of it. Instructions, a free lubricant sample, and additional Fun Factory toys information was included in this adorable little box.
Beginners; just because you're a first time to kegel exercise does not mean the Uno is perfect for you. Think about your vaginal size, how much stimulation you are looking for and how comfortable you are with inserting things into your vagina. As I suggested above, I'd purchase the set and try both. If you're on a budget, I'd opt for the Duo. For me, I had more luck with finding the sensations I was looking for with my Duo.
Follow-up commentaryI don't like it anymore3 months after original review
I think the uno is FANTASTIC! I just don't think this product is for me. I wanted MORE sensation and I got....well, not a lot. I have no complaints about the quality of the product. I know for a FACT it is an amazing kegel exerciser for some women, but it isn't for me. So it sits back in its original packaging, fully sterilized, unused and neglected to the duo...sorry little guy, but you just weren't for me!

Hmm, your summary is making me rethink this product and maybe just sticking to my crystal egg.
