Why use Kegel balls?

There are countless benefits to having stronger pelvic floor muscles. But let’s just pick a few for good measure, shall we?

How it works

Your pubococcygene The PC muscle is a muscle that runs along the pelvic floor. When you hold your urine, it is your PC muscle that you are contracting. This “tightening” is the basis of all Kegel exercises: repetitive contractions and releases help tone and strengthen your PC muscle.

Experts recommend starting by strengthening your pelvic muscles without using Kegel balls, as you need to make sure you’re contracting the right muscles before adding weights to your routine. Think of it like going to the gym and using your own body weight as resistance before introducing weights.

There are many useful guides, such as this onewhich can help you develop your practice of weightless Kegel exercises. Tip: don’t hold your urine, it’s bad for you.

Once you’re ready to insert your Kegel balls, be aware that it may feel awkward at first, especially if this is your first time inserting them. To make it as easy and seamless as possible, apply a water-based lubricant to the Kegel balls and the outside of your vagina. Lie on your back, spread and relax your legs, and then insert the first Kegel ball. If your Kegel has more than one weighted ball, continue pushing the balls into your vagina, but never push them past the point of comfort.

Many Kegel balls have a loop or string at the end for easy removal, so be sure to let it hang loosely. If you’re inserting one or more individual Kegel balls, you’ll just need to insert them one at a time.

What to do once they’re in

There are many muscle strengthening exercises you can perform once the Kegel balls are inside you. The basic technique is as follows:

With the Kegel balls inside your vagina, contract your pelvic floor muscles. You should feel the balls rise as you squeeze them. Hold for five seconds, then release for five seconds.

Repeat the squeezes five times to complete one set, and work up to three sets per day (you can increase the number of reps and sets as you feel more comfortable). You can try variations of this exercise by adopting a squatting, sitting, or standing position as you explore!

Your Kegel balls can Also of course, they can be used as sex toys/pleasure enhancers, whether solo or as a couple.

Solo game

Once you’re ready and your Kegel balls are nestled inside you, you can simply go about your daily routine in an ever-present state of arousal (your little secret). Or, you can incorporate them into an epic masturbation session: they’ll enhance the sensation of everything else you do. Yum. You can even add a vibrator to the mix.

Pair game

If you’re looking to amp up the sensations during penetrative sex, Kegel balls can help you and your partner warm up, so to speak. You can insert them before you make out, or make insertion the first phase of delicious foreplay. The longer the balls are inside, the more aroused you’re likely to feel upon insertion. Just be sure to remove the balls before your partner (or another toy) slides inside.

Kegel balls can also do anal sex more unbearably pleasurable. Anal penetration can push the balls against your G pointsending intensely holistic shivers of pleasure throughout your body. Just saying.

Take them out

You can leave Kegel balls in place for up to six hours, depending on the balls used and your individual preferences.

If your Kegel balls have a removable string, lie down in a comfortable position, add more lube to your vaginal opening, and slowly pull the string until they slide out.

If you are removing individual balls, you will need to squat down and squeeze your vaginal muscles to push them out, just like you would with a vaginal pessary/suppository, diva cup, or tampon.

As sexual wellness and pelvic floor training have become more popular around the world, more and more Kegel balls are hitting the market, but they are not all created equal and it can be difficult to determine which ones are safe and effective. Beauty Kegel Balls are body safe, non-porous, hypoallergenic and come in three different weights/sizes so you can start where you feel most comfortable.

Think of your pelvic floor as your foundation for greatness, and you’ll never stray too far from the right path, that’s what I always say. <3
