Kegel Balls for Successful Vaginal Exercises

The Japanese balls that became Kegel balls

Kegel balls, once composed of small round stones, sometimes jade or semi-precious stones. They were primarily used by geishas around the fifth century. This is why they are still called “geisha balls“. Geishas used these balls to firm their pelvic muscles, and it was said that they could make a man ejaculate with a simple muscle contraction on the penis. To achieve such control, they practiced for months, even years, with these Japanese balls, which gave them an exceptional reputation.

Today, these sexual balls are known by various names such as pleasure pearls, Ben-Wa balls, Kegel balls, vaginal balls, etc.

Modern Version

Like all types of sexual balls, Kegel balls have modern versions in glass, gold-plated metal, or silicone-coated metal, with different weights. They can be single or double, with interchangeable weights. Some are connected by a rigid cord, with each end able to hold balls of different weights. The weight and size of Kegel balls play a crucial role in the exercise: the heavier they are, the harder they are to keep inside the vagina.

Size

The same goes for their size: the smaller they are, the harder they are to manipulate and keep inside the vaginal walls. Ideally, start exercises with lighter and larger balls, then increase the weight and decrease the size once you have perfect control of the initial balls. You can choose to prioritize weight over size, as the two do not necessarily go hand in hand.

Therapeutic Effect

Kegel balls, or Japanese balls, are now widely recognized for their therapeutic effects by doctors and sexologists. Dr. Kegel popularized their use, especially to prepare women for childbirth and prevent bladder prolapse afterward. The exercise is simple: insert the Kegel balls into the vagina and hold them in place by contracting the pelvic muscles, whether standing or lying down.

Exercise Regularity

Vary the weight and size of the Kegel balls according to your needs. These regular exercises restore tone to the pelvic muscles, aiding during childbirth and preventing urinary incontinence afterward. Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor, supporting the bladder, uterus, small intestine, and rectum, and preventing incontinence. Regular exercises keep the pelvic muscles healthy.

Exercise

Moreover, Kegel balls also enhance the sensitivity of vaginal muscles, giving women better control over their pleasure during sexual intercourse. Vaginal contractions during penetration allow for more active participation, appreciated by male partners. Multiple childbirths and aging can weaken the pelvic floor. However, regular exercises ensure better health, including for vaginal muscles.
