When your pelvic floor muscles are strong, you’ll experience a range of benefits from stronger orgasms and sexual pleasure to improved bladder control and vaginal rejuvenation. Getting started with Kegel balls is simple and can be done anywhere, even right from the comfort of your own home.

Strengthens Your Pelvic Floor

Kegels strengthen your pelvic floor, a layer of muscles and tissues that extend from your pubic bone to your coccyx (your tailbone). Strengthening these muscles can help relieve symptoms of urinary tract infections, lower back pain, and more.

To perform a Kegel, tighten your pelvic floor muscles for three seconds and relax them for another three seconds. Repeat these contractions 10 times a day. If you’re just starting out, 10 can feel like a lot to do, so start with five and work your way up.

When performing a Kegel, be sure not to tighten other muscles in your stomach, thighs, or buttocks as well. This can cause your muscles to become overly tight and can actually weaken the pelvic floor muscles you’re trying to target.

Kegel balls are available in various sizes, so make sure you select the right ones for your body. You should also be sure to clean the balls regularly and properly, as not doing so can introduce bacteria into your vagina.

If your kegels don’t come out easily, try adding Kegel Balls more lube or moving around to encourage the muscles to contract and release. You can also practice simple distractions, such as holding the weights in place while you brush your teeth or wash your hair, then progress to more complex activities, such as jumping up and down or jogging on the spot.

Increases Orgasms

Many women who use kegel balls find that they can get orgasms by just wearing them. Keeping them in, walking around, or riding in a car can all cause your pelvic muscles to contract and result in a jiggly orgasm that feels like a little secret between you and your kegels.

You can also put them in a lube and use them to boost sensitivity during masturbation or vaginal sex. The added pressure from the balls can make things more intense, and they can also help to stimulate the clitoris and erogenous zones, which will in turn make your sexy partner happy.

It’s important to remember, however, that using kegel balls for too long can overexert your pelvic floor muscles. If you do this, it may lead to pain in the lower back and pelvic region and during or after penetrative sex.

If you’re worried about overexertion, try lowering the weight of your kegel balls or taking breaks between contractions. You can also take your kegels to the next level by pairing them with a pelvic floor massager. The external vibrations and the extra clenching from your kegels will enhance the sensations of your favorite vibrator, or can give you orgasms on their own. If you’re concerned about how to use orgasm stimulators correctly, consult a sexual health professional for advice tailored to your needs.

Increases Sensitivity

A pair of Kegel balls – also known as Ben Wa, Love balls or Chinese balls – may have first crossed your radar in 50 Shades (indeed, there’s an iconic scene in which Anastasia Steele gets hot under the collar while wearing them). But these weighted pleasure toys — which are basically little rubber bands that you slip into the vagina — have been around for centuries and can increase both sensitivity and orgasms.

The key to success is to insert them slowly and steadily – the longer you leave them in, the more intense your experience will be. To start, lie down in a comfortable position and apply a liberal amount of water-based lube to your vaginal opening. Then, slip in the balls, which are usually linked together and can be removed with a string or loop. If you’re new to using them, a lightweight set like this one from Je Joue is great for beginners.

As you get used to them, you can add in heavier sets with a variety of weights and sizes. Just remember to always remove them before you pee or do anything else that could cause them to get stuck. Also, never put them into your anus as they aren’t designed for this purpose and can cause discomfort. And make sure you clean them regularly with a gentle cleanser to avoid infection.

Helps Prevent Bladder Leaks

When you practice Kegel exercises regularly, they strengthen the muscles that support your Anal Sex Toy bladder. This helps control urinary incontinence, which is a common problem for women and men of all ages. It can cause you to leak urine when you laugh, cough, sneeze, or have an accident. Kegels can also help prevent pelvic organ prolapse, a serious condition that occurs when the bladder and surrounding tissues lose their normal strength and structure.

To do a proper Kegel, you need to squeeze your pelvic floor muscles for 10 seconds and then relax them. Repeat this cycle ten times a day, or as often as you can. You can do Kegels while you brush your teeth, make breakfast, or even watch TV.

For the best results, use a Kegel ball that has an arm, loop, or string for easy removal (like the LELO Kegel8 lubricated weights). If you are a beginner, it’s important to start with lightweight products that don’t create discomfort. You can gradually work your way up to heavier designs with more experience.

You should avoid keeping your Kegel balls in for more than 4 to 6 hours, as squeezing them continuously can overexert the muscles. If you’re unsure how long to keep your Kegel balls in, talk to a healthcare professional who can offer advice specific to your needs.
