Having heard quite a bit about the ben wa balls from friends and after reading the Fifty Shades series, I thought it would be interesting to try. I wanted to see if this particular product would stand up to its claims of strengthening vaginal muscles. I received the balls and removed them from the package immediately. There wasn't any odd smell initially, but perhaps my excitement over using it overshadowed any weird smells. They were easy to insert, sliding in without any problems without extra lubricant needed. The material wasn't uncomfortable after insertion either. I really appreciated the string as I've heard stories about removing them after use.

Once they were in, it was actually fun to use them. The feeling of the balls clanking together as I walked had an effect on me (very arousing exactly).

They are great for practicing kegels if you want to use them strictly for that. I found that if you masturbate with them, it does give stronger orgasms. I would do the exercises as my climax neared and it seemed to make them much more intense.

Removal was super easy with the string and clean up was easy as well. I do believe the external is plastic, so I used some soap and warm water for cleaning. For storage, I reuse the package after a good clean and dry. It keeps the fuzz off them (something that toys like to attract).

Overall, the thing I liked was how discreet the balls were, the ease of use, and the ability to clean and store without a problem. It is great for use as a simple vaginal wall strengthener or if you're interested in using them as a form of play with a partner (like wearing them throughout the day). I would recommend the product to others.
