Home → Glossary → Kegel Balls

Kegel balls (also called Ben Wa balls or pelvic floor trainers) are weighted spheres you insert vaginally. Your pelvic floor muscles contract involuntarily to hold them in place, providing a passive workout. Stronger pelvic floor muscles can lead to stronger orgasms, better bladder control, and faster postpartum recovery. Start with larger, heavier single balls and progress to smaller, lighter sets as your muscles strengthen. Wear them during daily activities for 15-30 minutes. Body-safe options include silicone-coated sets from LELO (Luna Beads) and We-Vibe (Bloom). Avoid uncoated metal balls or anything without a retrieval cord. Always use water-based lube for insertion and clean thoroughly after each use.
