The SinFive Emigi is an innovative new way to exercise your PC (pubococcygeus) muscles, also known as your Kegels. SinFive has taken the classic dual ball system most women are used to and streamlined it into a single Mr. Peanut shaped package.

The Emigi is prefect for those just beginning to train their PC muscles and aren't sure if a dual-ball system like the SmartBalls is right for them. Those with shorter vaginal canals or a tipped uterus (like myself) may find the Emigi much easier to handle and use due to its design and small size.

As with all vaginal exercisers, here comes the warning for sticking it up your ass: DON'T. It isn't meant for anal play whatsoever. It is tiny and will get sucked into your brown hole in an instant and no one wants to go to a hospital to undergo a toy retrieval.

Emigi is made of WTP, which is a completely body-safe plastic that is phthalate-free, latex-free and hypoallergenic. It's plastic, but the Emigi feels almost rubbery. It's actually firm but flexible and fun to play with. It has no odor or taste and has a velvety texture. I'm really impressed by this material, especially its antimicrobial properties. Leave it to a German toy company to make a toy that cleans itself.

The antimicrobial makeup of the toy has no effects on the human body and doesn't leach any weird chemicals into your woohoo. When microbes come into contact with the toy's surface, the molecular additive actually destroys the microbe's metabolism, rendering the little germ useless. This doesn't mean that you can use the toy, throw it somewhere, then use it again without washing it properly. SinFive recommends washing your Emigi with lukewarm water and an antibacterial soap and drying it with a lint-free cloth.

Due to several life-scarring advanced Biology classes, the Emigi reminds me of a cell during a stage of mitosis. It looks like the Emigi may have been one ball at one time, then decided "Hells naw, I wanna be twins" so it divided partially in opposite directions from each other. Hey, at least I'm not calling it a mouse or a peanut for the 50th time.

I think the shape and size is just perfect. It's about the size of a man's thumb, with a concave center separating the two weights inside. There is a seam but it isn't noticeable at all. The Emigi's cord or tail is about 3" long but if it's bothersome you can most certainly cut it to fit to your liking.

I was very nervous at first to even insert the Emigi after such bad luck with the SmartBalls. But, I laid on my bed and relaxed, lubed up the little bean and inserted it gently like a tampon (or NuvaRing). Halfway in, my muscles did most of the work and sucked it in. All I really had to do was push it in a little further and it fell into place. I laid down for a few more minutes and did some Kegel exercises, gently tugging on the cord for resistance. Then, I performed the complicated "stand up" test. So I stood up.

The Emigi feels weird inside, and I definitely felt the weights. I felt no sort of vibration that has been reported with this and other vaginal exercisers with weights, but the Emigi itself was noticeable and reminded me to contract my PC muscles. I was able to walk around, sit down, stand up and skip around and kept the Emigi inside my difficult vagina. Success!

I felt no pain during insertion or removal (all you have to do is pull on the cord gently to remove it...like a tampon). Sometimes I would get a weird feeling that the Emigi was falling out, akin to the feeling of an inserted tampon that isn't in far enough. When I get this feeling I just contract my PC muscles for about 10 seconds and the feeling subsides.

The Emigi is compatible with both silicone and water-based lubricants, and, again, should be washed before and after each use, even with its magical antimicrobial properties.

It's small enough to hide in your underwear drawer or purse, but I suggest keeping it in its original packaging. It's too cute to throw away.

The Emigi's packaging made me go all "AWWWWWWW" when I saw it. If you look on EF's product page for the Emigi and click on the picture of the Emigi's packaging to enlarge it, you'll get an actual-sized picture of the package itself. It's so tiny and looks like a futuristic cyber lunch bag. It's perfect for storing the product in. When you open the little box, pull out the paper insert and it turns into a brochure that gives tons of information about the product in like 15 languages.

I'd say it's safe to leave the Emigi in its original package on your night stand; it's quite unassuming and you can't tell what the hell it is unless you pick it up and read it. But if you have small children, keep this away from them because it does look like a toy, and a picture of the Emigi is on the front of the package. It looks colorful and playful, but it's a toy for Mommy, dammit.

I didn't really have high hopes for the Emigi because of my ladybit problems; I'd already tried the Fun Factory SmartBalls and they just popped out of me. The Emigi is comfortable and I can leave it in for long periods of time with no problems and no pain whatsoever. I'm really thankful this product is available to everyone because I'm absolutely in love with it and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to strengthen their PC muscles, whether because you've given birth, are incontinent, or just want stronger orgasms.
