The fact that the Lover’s Pleasure Balls|Vaginal balls: Lover's pleasure balls by California Exotic look a little bit like an oversized version of those elastic holders with gems that your mother might have used to put your hair into a ponytail should not deter you from trying these little jewels. The similarities end there.

Here are the basics: three jelly balls fastened together by a jelly cord that ends in a loop.

The pleasure part seemed obvious to me. Pop those oversized jelly beans into your pussy and then pull them out.  If you are fond of playing with your g-spot, this one is a no brainer. If you are strictly a clit girl, this is not your toy, unless you are willing to go the anal way, which I wasn’t up to as the balls are a bit too big for ass play in my book.

But, beyond the unambiguous pop them in and out feature, these balls are supposed to be good for training your kegels. And the fact is that even on days I don’t get out of bed and let myself have a total veg-out session, I still work my kegels out. Ladies, if you are now trying to Google kegels for the first time, you will thank me for the tip.

I have tried kegel exercisers|Exercisers for vaginal muscles before, and they all come with how to guides. Lover’s Pleasure Balls don’t, but luckily, I have done the work for you.

I thought I might try to put the first ball in only slightly and try to suck them in one by one. Clearly, that’s not an easy feat, but I have not given up. The easier way? Pop the three balls in and the push them out slowly one by one without pulling on the cord. This is a nice workout. You can assess your muscle control easily.

The next exercise, however, is even better; pop the balls in and then, as you hook your finger into the loop and pull, contract your muscles and try to keep the balls in. Aha, you read correctly, I am telling you to play tug-of-war with your kegels.

So far, Kegels 10, Me 0.

Overall, while the pleasure aspect of it might get a bit boring after a while, the exercise bit doesn’t get old. Also, I have yet to try these as a supplement to sex. I am thinking that when my current lover comes over, I might just give them to him to use as he sees fit as he goes down on me.

In this Brainiac’s book, the three balls in this vaginal and anal toy should each bear a letter: F U N.
