Please understand that these were the first vaginal exercisers I had ever bought. I was very excited when I got them, as I was hoping a vaginal exerciser would help me be able to take a BIGGER diameter. Right now, I have trouble with toys that are wider than .75", which is the diameter of these balls.

It is apparent on the product page that the balls are not on a string, which makes them difficult to retrieve. However, I did not find removal to be a problem as they fell out, which I will discuss later. Do not, under any circumstances, put these balls in your butt.

The product page says that these balls are plastic, but they are not entirely plastic. It's obvious from their cold temperature before insertion and their warmth when they come out that they contain metal and are probably metal plated. I tested this by touching a magnet to it, and I felt a slight pull, so the balls are at least partially made of metal. This was an unpleasant surprise to me, as I am allergic to all metals except for gold (and at this price, there's no way these things are made out of gold!).

However, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly they warmed up to my body heat (before they promptly fell out). I would hate to carry something cold around in my vagina for a long period of time.

As I mentioned, I have trouble with toys that are wider than .75", so I thought these little balls would be perfect as they are exactly .75" in diameter. As soon as I got home from the store, I snuck off to the bathroom and put them both in. Then, as I was walking back to my kitchen (about 20 feet), one of them popped out. I have trouble with toys of any girth greater than that of a tampon, I've never had kids, and I am under 5 feet tall and small-boned. If these balls fell out of my vagina, I have trouble believing that any grown woman could hold them in.

The one advantage of the small size, other than the ease of insertion, is that the balls can be retrieved by inserting a finger, hooking it around the ball, and pulling it out. Quite frankly, I think a string would have been easier.

I'm pretty sure I covered this in the previous sections. There were no vibrations (I thought Ben Wa balls were supposed to have little bells inside of them) and the balls fell out. If I had wanted tiny, non-vibrating balls, I would have gone to a kids' toy store, bought some glass marbles, and put them in my vagina. In fact, that would have been better because my metal allergies wouldn't be an issue.

The good news is that I can sterilize these balls with hot water, antibacterial soap, and sex toy cleaner before they begin their new life as toy marbles (since they are completely useless for my PC muscles). They can be stored in the little gem-like plastic box they came in.

The balls and crystalline box come in a tiny red cardboard box with cheesy motifs and a "Chinese-style" font. It reminded me of a takeout menu. On top of the box, it said "Ancient Chinese Secret" which was even cornier. The box also promises a "subtly cascading orgasm of epic heights," but I only experienced a strikingly crappy cataclysm of epic fail.

More importantly, the box did not include any information about the material, which is kind of important for someone like me with metal allergies.
