Kegel exercises are medically recommended for women with a range of slight problems arising from there PC muscles (pubococcygeus muscles), urinary incontinence, and recommended for use in pregnant woman to strengthen the vaginal muscles for childbirth. I myself simply have practiced Kegels to keep things nice and tight and in shape down there just for the simple added satisfaction during sex.

Kegel exercises are easy and not all that arousing, and the rumors of Ben Wa balls providing stimulation while inside the wearer was appealing to me. I also thought that maybe they would kick those Kegel exercises up a notch. So I ordered the Glass Ben Wa Balls.

“What beautiful packaging, such sexy looking little things”

These were my first thoughts when opening up my BenWa balls. They are made of clear Pyrex glass which is hypoallergenic, extremely smooth and nonporous. There is a very pretty dainty feminine flower set in the middle of the glass, and come in a very nice velvet lined box for storing them. So far so good; after cleaning them with some warm soapy water I decided to give them a try. Being made of Pyrex you can clean with anti-bacterial soap and water toy cleaner or with boiling water. These balls measure about 3 1/4” in circumference, which make them very easy to insert. After insertion, I did a few Kegels and really felt nothing. So I left them in while I did some things around the house and watched some TV, and still they provided no stimulation as rumored and really provided no extra benefit while doing Kegels.

The point is to hold them in using your PC muscles. That in itself was no challenge. The challenging part is when I wanted to take them out. The first one came out fine, but the second one had worked it way up a little bit. I found my self trying harder to get it out than hold it in.

Overall, I am not extremely impressed with them; they are a sexy little addition to my toy box as far as looking at them, but really gave me no extra stimulation while wearing them or doing Kegels. Possibly they would be more effective if they were larger; these balls are about the size of a marble. Other than the beautiful and sexy packaging and look of the balls I would have to say this is one of my least favorite purchases.

Still wanting to give these little beauties a chance, I got them back out. This last time using them I ran them under cold water to get them nice and cold before insertion. While the sensation of the cold glass entering me and heating up while in side is enjoyable, I still can get no real benefit from using these balls. I must say I have found myself using them more as meditation balls then I have as Ben Wa balls.
