As the owner of a rather extensive toy collection, I was somewhat dismayed that I had never owned nor tried a set of Ben Wa balls. After deciding I needed to add this type of toy to my collection, I did some comparison shopping and came up with the Smart Balls|Smart balls as my best option.

Smart Balls are coated in hygienic silicone and definitely very cute. I ordered the raspberry-pistachio set, which is a delightful magenta/fluorescent green combination. They are not the prettiest or most sophisticated looking toy of this type out there, but they are definitely pleasing enough to look at.

I chose Smart Balls primarily for their silicone coating, and because they are attached to each other, with a string for easy removal attached. I have heard nightmare stories about fishing around trying to remove Ben Wa balls, and wanted to avoid that situation! The smart balls are small enough not to be threatening, but large enough to stay in place once inserted properly. I will say I had a little difficulty inserting them completely the first time, though—getting the second ball all the way in proved to be a challenge.

Once the balls were in, however, I hardly noticed them, except when I moved. Then they produced a unique and very pleasant fluttering sensation in the vagina that was subtle yet arousing at the same time. I will never orgasm from these toys—the sensations are not powerful enough. However, they are definitely a great “primer” if you are expecting some action later that night, because they keep your concentration focused on your area and keep you hyper-aware of your vagina and the sensations they are producing. They are also silent, so you can use them discreetly.

Removal of the balls was incredibly easy, if a slight tad uncomfortable, by pulling on the attached string. The string also seems to be fairly nonporous and hygienic.

Smart Balls are a subtle yet effective way to keep yourself revved up throughout the day if you have a big night to come. They are also simply enjoyable to use on their own for the pleasant fluttering sensations they produce. They are easy to use and remove, and also easy to clean. If you have never tried this type of toy before, give these a whirl!

These have rapidly become one of my favorite toys, and I can say they live up to their reputation! They're not strong enough to get me off, but they're discreet and provide the most amazing fluttering feeling at totally unexpected times. They're also easy to insert and remove. If you don't already own a set of these, I highly, highly recommend treating yourself!
