When my boyfriend bought me this exerciser as a gift, I was a little skeptical, but it did not take much convincing to get me to try it. I am certainly glad I did. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this kind of product, this is a pair of vaginal, or exercise balls. Their main purpose is to make doing kegels more effective and much more fun at the same time. Why is this useful? Why should you consider buying a pair? Kegels increase the strength of the muscles in the vaginal area, which can have a lot of positive effects. From giving a tighter feel to squeezing down tight during sex to giving you a better time, there is no reason not to get proper exercise. Also, putting more effort into getting ready for sex heightens anticipation, adds excitement, and generally makes the experience more fun.

Though the eclipse was a bit too big for me at first, a little lube was all it would take to compensate for the size. A little foreplay helped to ease things in, and from there it was a fun experience. The exerciser definitely made a difference as I did my kegels, as I could feel the resistance. It gives you a better feel that you are making progress and getting good exercise. It has a decent amount of give to it, so it doesn’t feel too stiff or too large. I have continued to use it, and even though it has not been too long since I first started, I definitely can feel a difference in terms of the strength of my muscles.

As for the toy itself, it’s made of silicone and plastic, so cleaning is a breeze. It is not porous so a quick wash with soap and water or cleaner and the eclipse is clean and ready to go for the next exercise session. The two balls are connected by more than just a narrow cord, so it seems sturdy and does not leave any reason to worry that they will fall apart. There is a long stretchy grip at the end that allows for easy removal, so there are no worries about it getting lost.

The real show stopper on these is the vibrating beads inside the two balls. They are not battery powered, but any movement causes the two inner beads to go crazy and give a nice little burst of fun. This can be good for a foreplay session, or just to add some incentive to your workout routine. Overall, this is a very well constructed toy. It feels very sturdy, but it is pliable and not too stiff.

The materials allow for easy cleaning, and don’t have a smell like most cheap toys have. It provides you a good amount of resistance and the vibrating beads make it worth your while to exercise. The only real downside to this toy is that the cord takes more force than I was expecting to get it out, and that it's a bit big. I can assure you though, if you use this well, both you and your partner will thank yourselves for getting this toy.

This toy is all about the results. While it is fun to play with, the real reward comes with the exercise it allows you to do. Moving this toy around and doing kegels really gives you a better workout over doing it without. As with all exercise of this sort, there are many gains to be had. We've noticed a difference, and I think you will too. Give this one a try.
