A kegel exerciser is a toy designed to strengthen the vaginal walls. Strengthened vaginal walls allows us to have more control and can lead to increased pleasure during sex. While kegel exercises can be done without any equipment, many people use kegel exercisers either because they find it helps them to master it, or they use heavier ones to increase the difficulty. I am not a beginner to kegels. I can’t tell you whether or not these are good and appropriate for a beginner.

As someone who has experience with kegels, I found that these weren’t that helpful. These are large and light. If they were either one or the other, it would be OK. If they were very light but also very small, it would be a challenge to keep it in. If they were very large but very, very heavy then they would be a challenge to keep in. But my vagina has no difficulty keeping these in because it’s neither. The large size means I don’t have to contract to get the volume. The lack of gravity pulling it down means I don’t really have to contract. I didn’t find that these helped me with my kegels very much, which is their entire purpose.

This toy is made out of WTP, which is an 8 on the EF safety scale. EF lists it as “completely non-porous, odorless, phthalate and latex free”. I had never heard of WTP before, but the fact that it’s used to make children’s toys makes me think it’s quite safe. After all, if it’s safe enough for a baby to lick then I think it’s safe enough for my vagina.

However, the safety of this toy doesn’t make up for the fact that it doesn’t fulfill its basic purpose. Cute as this one might be, it just doesn’t do what it’s supposed to.
