Even though my partner says that I'm already pretty tight, I have wanted to try a vaginal exerciser. I had never used vaginal balls before, but I really enjoyed the Eclipse. As a newbie to vaginal balls, I was looking for something easy to use. There really was nothing complicated about these, so they are great for beginners like me.

They came wrapped in a cushioned plastic bag in a simple, yet elegant box. It featured an image of the Eclipse next to an image of pouring water, and statements of how luxurious and couture these balls are. It also listed basic instructions for inserting them, what type of lube to use, and how to clean them.

I ordered the Eclipse in a creamy white color, which I love. The material is a mixture of plastic and Japanese medical grade silicone, which gives it a very smooth and velvety texture. I have never owned a silicone toy before, but it is an amazing material that you should definitely try. In addition to containing no phthalates, the materials are very easy to clean with warm water and anti-bacterial soap, and resist bacterial growth. Even after several uses, the creamy white color has not discolored at all. The only drawback is the material is not immune to pet hair. Fortunately, it is easily removed by running the toy under water.

According to my partner, the Eclipse vaginal balls are shaped like a giant two-headed sperm, which gave us a good laugh. It features two large, connected oval balls measuring 4 1/2 inches in length and a 3 1/2 inch tail for easy removal. The tail even features a bumped end to provide extra grip for removal. The connection between the two balls appears rather delicate, but I have pulled, twisted, pinched, and stretched it without any damage occurring.

Inside the balls are weights that provide a sensation somewhat akin to the ringing of a bell as they move. My first sensation upon using these was that it felt like my vagina was singing. The vibrations that they provide are not strong enough on their own to achieve orgasm, but they do provide a very pleasant sensation. I noticed that the vibration was strongest while walking. The purpose of the weights are to stimulate the vaginal muscles to contract and hold the balls in place. In this manner, you are exercising and isolating your muscles unconsciously.

With this product water-based lube is a must. I had a bit of difficulty inserting them the first few uses. After relaxing a bit, it was easy to insert them. Since I am used to doing Kegels on a regular basis, I wore them the first time for about four hours of sitting, standing, and walking with no trouble at all. In fact, it was very exciting and arousing to know that I had something inside of me and no one else knew. The weights inside provided an almost musical/singing sensation inside of me, that I could feel but no one could hear. It also made Kegels much easier to do, and provided an arousing sensation. However, the following day I could only wear them for about an hour before they became uncomfortable and started to slip out.

I forgot that I am actually exercising, so my muscles will get fatigued. Now I am using them about an hour or two per day, slowly increasing the time in which they are inside me per day. However, if you are not used to doing vaginal exercises at all, you may want to start out by just wearing them a few minutes at a time throughout the day until you build up your muscles. Because of the pleasant sensations while moving your body, these are good to wear while working out. If you're working out the rest of your body, why not work your vagina at the same time?

Removal of the Eclipse is quite simple. You just tug on the tail to remove, similar to an ordinary tampon. However, after your vaginal muscles have been working to hold it inside you may feel some resistance when trying to remove them. In that case, I consciously relaxed my muscles and the slid right out.

I have been using them for a week now. While I do not immediately feel extremely tighter, I do feel as though I have more control over my vaginal muscles and my orgasms. After being on vacation with my well-endowed partner for the past week (i.e. week long sex marathon by the beach), I do not feel sore or bruised, which usually follows such events. I attribute this to stronger muscles that could take the force better. Overall, I am pleased with the results thus far.
