I dropped in these Kegel balls last year, when I was making a large purchase, just to spend the amount of money I intended to. I hadn't tried anything like that before, so I thought why not to see how they work.

Simple? Yes. Affordable? Indeed. Weighted? You betcha! Quiet? I couldn't call them anything but audible...

So you want a pair of Kegel balls because you have never tried any. These have a retriever cord for an easy access, and you won't freak out that they temporally get lost in your flesh. The inner balls have a pleasant weight to them, and the size is not more than a comfortable vibe's or dildo's.

As we know, the larger size you start with the easier it will be to hold the balls in. Though I wonder if I should have chosen the Smartballs Teneo Uno instead, as the second ball kept on slipping out all the time!

My frustration has made me give up on the idea of Ben Wa balls for now, but I do say that with patience a beginner can learn to handle the Leopard Duotone Balls.

There are both positive and negative things about the materials.

The level 8 safety for plastic is a blessing to anyone who worries about porosity, being completely non-porous, food-grade, hypo-allergenic and latex and phthalates free. But the level 2 safety, somewhat porous vinyl cord makes you associate the cord with germs and unsatisfactory sanitary right away! Though it is said that if only you use it, and only vaginally, then you will never have to worry about such problems as long as you pay enough attention to keep it clean.

I don't remember to tell the truth what kind of smell and/or taste the wonderfully smooth Leopard Duotone Balls have, but I do remember that I didn't meet any unpleasant odors and flavors. You may expect only some subtle plastic smell what nobody minds. (At least I think so.)

The inner weighted balls are made of metal, and because of that, this pair of exercisers becomes a perfect item to give the needed workout for your inner muscles.

The 1 1/4 inch diameter, perfectly rounded balls have a brown cord to hold them together and serve for retrieval, being 3/4 inch long between the balls and an 5 1/4 inch long loop. I am not a fan of animal prints, and obtained the leopard balls only to check out how such a thing is like. Not to mention that you have to see them only until they get hidden inside you, and for cleaning, am I right?

The cord portion between the two balls ensure you that the upper ball won't go too far from the lower one inside you (I really don't like the thought of anything ball shaped slipping deep into my flesh), and the loop has the generous length to allow you to control the catty little ones within.

Looking at the weight of similar Ben Wa balls I am seeing that the 4 ounces aren't much more different from the average. Some are less than a quarter pound (being 0.2 pound) and some are more (0.3 pound) - so I assume that the effect of slipping out wasn't because of a wrong weight for beginners. Even when you hold them in your hands, you will find them pleasantly and mildly heavy, with the metal balls loudly rattling inside.

I can't help the thought ever since I started, to use my Master's two pairs of Chi balls, often joking around how interesting they would feel to use as pleasure muscle exercisers! Indeed, with a spring inside and without the cord you could be rolling these in your hands with ease as well.

If anyone can guess, not knowing about the existence of geisha balls, what this pair of leopard painted balls are, (s)he would think of the good old use right away! The finely heavy metal balls indeed give a pleasant sensation, hitting the plastic surface with every step you take. Better to say, they would in theory. I noticed that in practice it works that well only when I wiggle my butt a little bit, to enjoy the unique sensations such an ancient invention offers.

I must admit that having these rattlers inside my flesh reminds me of very subtle vibrations, and rather makes me want to grab an actual vibe right away. But for this sensation I have to keep on walking in the funny butt wiggling way, or hang out in a rocking chair which W/we aren't having now.

The first strange then rather addictive rattling is the part to admire about such a pleasure item. But, being a total beginner in such things, I found the longer I tended to use them, they became a little bit hard and uncomfortable to manage.

Like said above, the lower ball kept on slipping out of my flesh after a few minutes, every time! I do know that wearable Kegel exercisers make you do two things: move your muscles to get stronger, and hold the weighted balls inside. (Of course you can also lay down and play different things with the balls, being an excellent trainer with the various exercises.) Knowing these facts, I kept on wondering what in the world I was doing wrong! Did they slip out because I was constantly moving my muscles? Did I move my muscles in the wrong way? Or was it the weight only, being more than advised for a beginner? Then why in the world are these beginner Ben Wa balls?

This little frustration made me decide to try other pleasure exercisers for now, the Smartballs Teneo Uno for example, or the Jopen Vanity Vr1. (Though I do know that Vr1 isn't designed in an ideal way, and doesn't function as well as one would expect.) To tell the truth Jopen's Intensity sounds most appealing to me so far, and of course the same old training of my pleasure muscles without any aids. I just know that way that no matter how I am moving my muscles, I won't have to reach into my panties and push any balls back inside in the middle of an activity or just chilling out watching a movie. I kept on feeling quite embarrassed doing it in the Presence of of my Master, Who was just giggling at me and grinning impishly. The unique rattling is a peerless experience, but I wouldn't want to move my butt around all day long just to feel it, especially because I sit at the computer for most of the day. Not to mention that you can clearly hear the noises going on from feet away!

The loop is a mighty convenient part of the Leopard Duotone Balls by the way. I was delighted by the surprising length, being able to handle the balls in a most comfortable way.

Both the plastic balls and the vinyl cord can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap, and you can also wipe the leopard balls with isopropyl alcohol. Cleaning of the cord is a little bit of a pain in the butt though, because it is pretty damned short between the balls, and stays wet for a while before you can put it away. (W/we don't use any hair driers, knowing it can ruin your hair, so that isn't an option for me.) Not to mention that we are speaking about a porous cord collecting lint while it is getting dry, which is quite the icky thought for one's precious flesh. I know...

Though plastic is a blessing when it comes to the variety of lubes it can handle (water-, oil- and silicone-based), vinyl is said to be fine only with water- and silicone-based lubricants. I do advise you just staying with those two sorts.

These balls are sooo teeny-tiny that 2 1/2 inches of length and 1 1/4 inches of width taken up can't mean any problems when storing this pair of catty weights. After getting the written and video reviews published I will just tuck them into a small and mighty decorative glittery, green, floral ornamented box, to hide away with my E-sensual Bullet, Solar Bullet, Nipple and Clit Bells, pleasure dice and a jack plug micro bullet of the Jesse's Petite Treats vibe. It is only a 4x4 inch box by the way, so you know how good the Leopard Duotone Balls can fit into any tiny places.

Traveling can also be a great pleasure with this waterproof pair of balls, because unless they are nestling in your flesh on the daring noisy go, they can be hidden in your purse, pocket, glove box or whatever else you want to put them into. Just don't forget that they have metal balls inside, detectable at airports and other similar places!

I am not really sure how I should describe the piece of paper placed into the transparent plastic flip open case...

A dark haired lady can be seen in the picture wearing only some fine looking belted metallic bikini, looking at you with a sultry smile, with a fiery red background behind her. (Just to be accurate, she isn't looking straight at you, just almost at you.) You see her on the back again, posing with her hands behind her head.

If this still hasn't explained to the people not knowing about Kegel exercisers what in the world these balls are for, the product name and the description won't give them any clue as well. And let's admit sadly, many women don't know about the existence of such simple health aids, just like males turn to HORRIBLY dangerous pills instead of exercising their muscles and/or using pleasure pumps. The only visible info is "Perfectly Weighted with Nylon Cord" by the way. Only with a real close look can you find additional, most general info in the bottom of the back, mentioning water-based lubricants and the word pleasure. And "vibetronics" for product registration, with the multi-lingual names for "Love Balls".

Well, being enlightened about such little but important details now in the light of giving it as a gift, you decide whether you will send it to anyone or just slip it into the hands with some discreet whispers. It is probably the second best thing after chocolate for females anyway, and I find it to be a wonderful idea to spread such an affordable item of pleasure and health to free others from incontinence and weak pleasure peaks.

Not to mention that anyone can hide these balls in the original packaging at home, as long as the unneeded half of the flip case is cut off, taking up way much more space than the balls themselves need.

To tell the truth I have no idea why the Leopard Duotone Balls didn't seem to work out for me in the expected way. Maybe it was just me, not really being sure if my mere ideas about using such enhancers are enough to be satisfyingly successful with them. I just suggest you to do the needed research if you are a total beginner like I am with such exercisers, and ask folks in this wonderful community - because we, EF members are always happiest to help! And I wish you the very best luck whichever pair of pleasure balls you choose!

The rattling inside is wonderfully arousing, but I found the slipping out of the bottom ball too annoying to have the patience for it. I wonder if I will just make myself turn back to these balls, and start to work diligently on learning to handle them. I have them now, and I better start to use them because they can only help train the inner muscles. I guess I will just do more research, ask others, and see what turns out of my efforts. I will definitely report the results in the follow-up review, no matter what.

Being the most affordable pair of pleasure balls on EF I suggest you just obtain the leopard balls and see for yourself how it goes. If it is disappointing you didn't waste too much money or too many points. And if these balls do work then REJOICE, REJOICE, because you have managed a lifetime of pleasures for a most surprising price! Really, either way it goes you can't lose anything with them! Good luck with it!
