I bought this kegel exercise system because it is progressive. When I say progressive, I'm alluding to the fact that it is multi-weighted. This mean that as my PC (Pubococcygeus) muscles get stronger and more toned, I can move up to a heavier weight. It's the same basic principle as lifting weights to gain stronger arms - start at smaller weights and progress to heavier ones. I have bought other systems that were substantially less systematic, underwhelming, and gave little to no results, but Hold On To Me is in a league of its own.

The box is sturdy, simple, and super discreet. It's matte black with BK (standing for Bedroom Kandi) on the top in slightly recessed gold. It can easily sit on a nightstand or shelf and not be offensive or draw a lot of attention to itself. When you open the box, it's as simple as it was on the outside. You can see BK on the inside of the lid and black silk cradles all of the contents. Inside, you get a booklet explaining the Hold On To Me system, 4 weighted spheres, 2 silicone holders for the spheres, and 1 silky bag.

Now when you look at the spheres, you will see a series of gold dots on one side and BK on the other. These dots visually indicate the progression of the weights. For those interested in knowing how much each sphere weighs, they are as follows:

- 1 dot = 25g
- 2 dots = 30g
- 3 dots = 35g
- 4 dots = 40g

While this might not seem like a lot, you can definitely feel the difference when you hold them in your hand. You will also feel the difference when you use them. The spheres are also 30mm in diameter (or 1.2 inches) and are made of ABS plastic. ABS stands for Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and it is made to be a tough and impact resistant plastic. However, that doesn't mean you should drop them repeatedly. ABS is also non-porous and, to my knowledge, phthalate free.

The 2 holders are designed in a way that you can use each sphere individually or in pairs. This means that you can work your way up to 4 dots and then mix and match the weights as you want to further strengthen your muscles. The specifications for 1 sphere holder is 120mm (4.7 in) total length and the 2 sphere holder is 160mm (6.3 in) total length. Both holders are made of silicone and that means it's non-porous and can be easily sanitized.

Despite the how well rounded the Hold On To Me system is, there are some minor flaws. The spheres can handle any lube that you want to use, but because of the silicone holders, you have to use water based lube. Not too horrible, I know. Moving on, the holders also have a thin silicone tail that you use to help retrieve the sphere or spheres. The tail is strong and has a lot of stretch, but do not be too aggressive because the tail has the potential to break. The spheres themselves have a seam (easy to see without the holder) and this does not make them waterproof. The only way they are waterproof is when they are in the holder because the silicone fits tightly into the grove etched into the sphere and covers the seam. Now because of this little detail, there are ways to go about cleaning the Hold On To Me system without it becoming a disaster.

The silicone is easy enough to clean. Remove the holders from around the spheres and clean as you would any silicone toy. To clean the spheres, you have to either be very careful with running water or use cleaning wipes. Water can get into the spheres when they are not in the holders, so take care.

As I said before, I've bought kegel systems that just didn't work for me. Hold On To Me is an easy system to use and I'm pleased that I spent the money to try it.

When I first started using them I was skeptical, but gave it my best shot with the lightest weight. The booklet gives helpful hints for the beginners and how long to contract the muscles, how long to relax them and how many repetitions. I found that doing the exercises while sitting is the easiest and, personally, the most effective. I stated out with the lightest weight and started with 5 second contractions followed by 5 seconds of relaxation before repeating process 10 times. The booklet mentions 3 sets of 10 repetitions once daily and then increase it as it becomes more easy. This is perfect because you can watch your favorite tv show or movie and work out your PC muscles. As a side note, I have heard of women using a weighted system while walking or doing activities and I'm not sure how that works out for them. I could see that ending in embarrassment for me, so I haven't tried it.

I have graduated to the heavier weights, but haven't ventured to the double holder just yet. I'm super pleased to find out that I do have more intense orgasms (woohoo!) and can grip my partner with more force during sex. This means that the Hold On To Me system did what it said it could do and it wasn't a waste of time or money.
