Synopsis: Two, 1" hardened silicone balls for targeting and
strengthening the muscles of the pelvis, supposedly leading to more intense
orgasms and prevention of incontinence.
Our Review: Never
one to miss out on something new and different, I decided to give
these things a try after first seeing them at last year's Erotica
LA show.
About the size of ping pong balls, these hard plastic objects are
inserted into the vagina (for lack of a better comparison - like a
tampon) and can be worn all day long. Inside them are smaller
metal balls that cause subtle (and silent) vibrations, providing a
slight tingle to your movements. What was the point of all this?
Well, supposedly, wearing them will strengthen the muscles in the
pelvis, leading to more intense love making and helping prevent
incontinence in your later years. I wondered, could using these
balls train me to squeeze Freddy's cock into an inescapable
vise-like grip of orgasmic pain? Hmmm...
More on that
later, but first a little history. The origin of Ben Wa balls,
according to legend, started in ancient Japan or China, where
women first inserted egg-shaped hollow balls carved from ivory
into their vaginas, then experienced orgasms by rocking back and
forth, causing small pebble inside them to vibrate. Over the
years, the balls were refined and made from different substances,
such as gold, silver, steel, Lucite, and finally plastic. Because
all of these substances are non-porous, the balls do not absorb
bacteria, so you can use them longer than most sex toys. Indeed,
some women now wear them all day, on dates, to the grocery store,
and even with their partner's while having sex, where they report
how their mates love encountering the smooth balls during
penetration. All of this was intriguing, so, without further ado,
I inserted a pair to find out for myself if all these claims were
true.
For the most
part, a dab of lube made them insert fairly easily, and aside from
a very slight tingling from the vibrations of the inner balls, I
forgot they were in after about an hour. In fact, one of the only
ways I could tell was to do a kegel exercise or to squeeze my
pelvic muscles as I would during a sit up, for example. I decided
to go ahead and practice "noticing" them throughout the day and
removed them before bed time. I didn't let on with Freddy that I
was using them, as I wanted to see if he would notice any
difference as time passed and I became more skilled in their use.
After about a
month, I did begin to build more strength in my "love area" and
could really put the clamps on Freddy when I wished, almost always
causing him to orgasm (it was fun making him think he was
ejaculating prematurely!), which came in handy on those nights I
wasn't up for a marathon of sex. Sometimes, it's nice to get in a
quick session, then relax and fall into a nice, deep slumber.
Finally, I 'fessed up and let my hubby in on my secret, which
naturally caused him to want to have sex right away with the balls
in place; alas, he noticed no difference during penetration and
neither did I.
In summary, I
continue to use them about every other week and find it fun to
slip them in before going out with Freddy. The design and colors
are fun and attractive and, of course, the quality and materials
are of the usual excellent Fun Factory standards. For a neat kick
and some cheap thrills, I have to recommend these balls highly.
