Ben Wa Balls

Ben Wa Balls, also known as Kegel balls, are versatile tools used for both pelvic exercise and sexual pleasure. They can be a great addition to Kegel exercises, helping to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. For sexual pleasure, they enhance sensation during solo or partner play.

What are the different types of Ben Wa Balls available and their specific uses?

Different types include Ben Wa Balls on a string (LELO Beads™ and LELO Beads™ Noir), vibrating balls (HULA Beads™ and LELO Smart Bead™), and those with adjustable weights. It's essential to choose the right size and type based on personal comfort and experience level.

How do Ben Wa Balls help in enhancing sexual pleasure?

Ben Wa Balls, when used for sexual pleasure, can enhance sensation and arousal due to their weight and movement inside the vagina. They stimulate the vaginal walls and pelvic floor muscles, which can increase sexual sensitivity. Some women find the act of holding the balls in place itself can be arousing, and the subtle, continuous stimulation can lead to heightened sexual awareness and pleasure. Additionally, using Ben Wa Balls during foreplay or before sexual activity can increase anticipation and enhance overall sexual experience. Remember, each individual's experience may vary, and it's important to use them safely and comfortably.

Can you suggest the best size and material of Ben Wa Balls for beginners?

For beginners using Ben Wa Balls, it's generally recommended to start with balls that are on the larger and lighter side, as they are easier to hold in. A good starting material is silicone, which is body-safe, easy to clean, and has a comfortable texture. As you become more comfortable and your pelvic floor muscles strengthen, you can gradually move to smaller and heavier balls made from materials like metal or glass. It's crucial to choose balls with a string or retrieval cord for easy removal, especially for beginners. Always ensure the balls and material are of high quality and body-safe.

Are there any safety precautions I should be aware of when using Ben Wa Balls?

When using Ben Wa Balls, safety is paramount. Here are some key precautions:
Choose the right size and material: Start with lighter, silicone balls. Ensure they are body-safe.
Cleanliness: Always clean the balls before and after use with mild soap and warm water or with a cleaner.
Lubrication: Use a water-based lubricant for easier insertion.
Duration: Initially, limit usage to 15-30 minutes a day to avoid overexertion.
Monitoring: Pay attention to any discomfort or pain, and remove the balls if you experience any.
Health considerations: Consult a healthcare provider before using Ben Wa Balls, especially if you have pelvic health issues, are pregnant, or have recently given birth.
