The Sportsheets Sex and Mischief Steele Balls (Ben Wa Balls) come in a white cardboard box, packed in a foam brick, with a little black carrying bag inside. The only instructions are on a small paper in the back, stating to wash thoroughly before use. I recommend soap and warm water.

They are silver colored, naturally. They do not contain any bumps, or ridges, or scratches. Also, they will not scratch or break, so they are very safe and easy to clean by soap and water.

These balls are meant to do kegel exercises with, which strengthen a woman's pelvic muscles, such as after childbirth. But having stronger muscles also increases your sensibility and feeling during sex. I really enjoyed sex more after I began doing exercises.

These balls are very slippery on their own and do not require lube. Being small and heavy, I would recommend them more to an advanced ben wa ball user, because they will be easier to keep in. These are difficult to start out on, keeping them in, but beautiful nonetheless.

I recommend starting out with one ball, at home, and then increasing it to two once you get the hang of it and do not drop them.

Always remove these before going to the bathroom; they will fall out into the toilet if you do not.

Here is the information from the product page: the material is stainless steel; safety features are latex free, non-porous, and phthalates free; the length is 1/2"; the circumference is 1"; and the weight is 0.25 oz.

The weight seems pretty light, but they are actually pretty heavy, especially for vaginal muscles! So, do not underestimate the weight. Also, the size of the balls is only 1/2": it may seem like a lot as well, but it's not. Be ready for those: they'll slip out!

I have been working on my PC muscles for months with the crystal egg and decided to graduate myself up to the ben wa balls. These seem to me to be more for those who have been using ben wa balls for a long time and have muscles of steel! I can only seem to keep one of these babies in for roughly ten minutes before it starts falling out. I like them, but, I think I'm going to have to work out a little more before I am up for these!
