Got balls? I do.
If you are looking for a vaginal exerciser to improve your sexual or overall health, I recommend these. The muscles they work on will help you sexually, and with the issues some women experience after childbirth and with age. They also work wonders on the libido!!Published: March 4, 2009
Pros:
Great material, stimulating, a color choice for everyone
Cons:
takes patience to get them inserted properly so they are comfortable
Smart balls are a smart purchase. I recommend them to anyone who is considering a purchase of a vaginal exerciser. They are safer, and far more functional than most of the others out there. Though they will not get the job done for you, they will help you get there.
The material of the smart balls is elastomed. It is much safer than jelly and other materials, especially since these are designed to be worn for an extended period of time inside the vagina. The material is phthalates free and is hypoallergenic. Both water and silicone based lubes can be used with the Smart balls and you will need it! They can be cleaned with warm water and antibacterial soap, making sure to thoroughly clean in the crevices. A soft bristled tooth brush is good at thoroughly getting fluids and other things out of all the little hiding places on the smart balls. Always rinse them very well before inserting them to avoid contaminating the vagina.
Size and firmness are the biggest differences in how the smart balls feel compared to other vaginal balls. They are firm, almost hard with the raised area being a touch softer. The balls are long since they are connect and are wide. It may take a couple of times, and adjusting them till they are comfortable. When inserted correctly they should barely be felt if you can feel them at all. I suggest using lube and inserting them slowly, and keeping at it till they feel just right. After you get the hang of it they will go in much easier and become comfortable. The string on these is small, but is also covered. This is yet another way these are a better choice than other balls.
They work because they remind you too use your muscles. There is no set of balls or other vaginal exerciser that will tighten and teach you to control your muscles, without you working them with the exerciser working as a tool. I will say that the vibrations are more easily felt with the smart balls, and do better at reminding you to squeeze. The vibration comes from weights that roll around inside the balls, the more you move the more they move. If you put them in and sit all day you will not see results. Use them when shopping, walking, or exercising to get the maximum benefit for your body. The more strenuous the activity, the more you will feel the need to use your vaginal muscles to hold the balls in place. As a plus the balls provide gentle vibrations that will keep you hot and ready to go all day, while giving you a secret work out. These will work great to recondition the body after child birth not only vaginally, but can also help build your muscles if you experience incontinence.

Experience
With a couple months of use I can tell a difference, not just in the "tightness" but in the overall control I have over my muscles. They do work with patience and active use.
It has been suggested that the balls will feel nice inserted into the vagina with clitoral stimulation. I found that this did nothing for me at all. The pleasure I get from these is from the vibrations when I jog or dance around with them in, or just wear them out running errands. I can't say if this is from the naughty side of having a toy in me all day, or from the constant vaginal stimulation that keeps me at a heightened state of arousal. They have improved my sex life in more than one way, and I feel like they are an asset to improve my muscle control as a whole.

Sizes of PC balls
-
I just skimmed through another review for Smart Balls, and was wondering.. what's best for PC exercise? Small balls, right? I assume, the smaller they are, the more effort you'd have to put into keeping them in.
Also, what about the ones that are loose? Is it a good idea to just put two random balls up there? Has anyone ever had a problem getting them/one out? -
Quote: I just skimmed through another review for Smart Balls, and was wondering.. what's best for PC exercise? Small balls, right?

The Smartballs aren't very small, and don't take much effort (if any) to keep in. Same goes for the Luna Beads (which are just a tad smaller than the Smartballs).
Also, what about the ones that are loose? Is it a good idea to just put two random balls up there? Has anyone ever had a problem getting them/one out?
I also have glass ben wa balls, as well as tiny metal ones. I've never really had problems with the glass ones randomly falling out (the only ones to ever do that were the metal, since they're so small). Nothing can become "lost" in your vagina, since the cervix acts as a barrier to the rest of your reproductive system. To take the loose ben wa balls out, all I do is squat or lay down and hook them with my finger (one at a time) to remove them.
[I have this philosophy that if you aren't willing to stick a finger up yourself to remove them, you really shouldn't be putting them in your vagina in the first place.] -
Also, if you're having trouble getting the balls out, you can squat and bear down to "push" them out a little more.
Personally, I'd use something with a string, since it's hard for me to pop things in to my vagina in the first place.

Ben wa balls
-
Well, I do not know much about them and I really would like to. I am not sure where to start. I read a fantasy about them and a lot of the post and reviews mention wearing them while out and about or even working out. So I would love to give that a try. I think I want some with weight and a cord that I do not have to worry about getting germy so...help please

I'm a pretty petite woman and I don't think I could use either of those products comfortably for a good amount of time. Plus, you can't have intercourse with the Smart Balls!
I'm not too worried about a cord, unless the balls are attached. I've had some, uh, "interesting" things in my vagina before that I was able to push out easily, so I'm not afraid to use a cordless set.
What do you mean by "getting germy"? -

Plus, you can't have intercourse with the Smart Balls!Some of the reviews said the nylon cords did not clean too well and so they had to throw the balls away sooner than they thought. I think I am going to get either the Smart Balls or the Desi. I don't really like the cord on the smart balls. It doesn't look sturdy enough and the Desi sit in a girdle and looks like a lot of work to clean.

Smart Balls can go in the ass, apparently
-
On the product description: "These weighted balls are coated in elastomed to help make them easier to clean and keep clean. This also makes them a good toy to use anally as well."
Seriously? Seriously? -
Quote: On the product description: "These weighted balls are coated in elastomed to help make them easier to clean and keep clean.

Seriously? Seriously? -
I seriously would advise against it. If the first ball goes in, the second one probably would go in as well. There are a lot of anal toys that lack a good base to make them butt safe, and it is a shame really. I always advise against using toys anally unless they have a good sized flange base. A smooth ball shape is not going to stop a toy from getting sucked inside. I don't own a set of anal beads yet because of this...I just don't feel most of them are safe.
The material is another concern with the smart balls. The Elastomed is non porous, but not technically sterilizable. Fun Factory advises against boiling them even.
Bottom line is that these are intended and designed for vaginal use only.

Smart Balls material question
-
Blah, I mistakenly posted this as a reply to another question on the Smart Balls site. But I'm really curious, so I'm posting it again:
I'm wondering what I should recommend to a friend when it comes to vaginal balls. I'm happy with the Desi, but I still wish it were entirely silicone. The Smart Balls are listed as silicone (yay!), but on the first review link the Product Specialist said that they were made of elastomed with a silicone finish. What does this mean? Could my friend sterilize them? It seems like the Smart Balls are safer than the other options on the site, but I just wanted to ask someone who knows more than me! -
Well as for the best recommendation to a friend for specifically vaginal balls then I would most likely say these Smart balls, but this is dependent on her purpose and what task she is trying to accomplish:
If she is looking to strengthen kegels (PC Muscles) then these are a good option but, balls in general are not going to be the best. The best option for PC Strength is a weighted dildo (such as Glass or Steel).
If her purpose is to have an orgasm with these, then again I don't think balls are the best option. In this case it would be best to go with a vibrating egg or bullet (2-3 would be best if she is looking for a massive orgasm) 1 on clit, 1 vaginally, and 1 anally (optional, but could really enhance the pleasure)
If your friend is looking for a method of foreplay and neither to get off, or just starting to strengthen PC muscles then the balls would be the best option. (and the best balls would probably be Smart Balls)
I am pretty sure these balls are actually listed as the wrong material, since they are not 100% silicone. Doing some googling research on these balls, they are actually made of elastomed which is basically elastomer. They will soft like silicone but semi- porous. Even if they do have a silicone “coat” I wouldn’t risk sterilizing them in boiling water, but indeed they can be washed with soap or toy cleaner. (I would be sure to try and try them well to ensure that not a lot of water is left behind in the small pores.)
As for the safeness of SmartBalls, I am unable to judge on that, but just looking at these makes me think the center line would snap, especially if used anally.
-->” It seems like the Smart Balls are safer than the other options on the site” Hmm, compared to what? I am not really sure if you are comparing them to other Smartballs (which indeed these would probably be the safest) or if you are comparing them to other toys (in which there are much safer options out there than these. Ex: 100% silicone Tantus dildos & plugs, anal specific objects, weighted dildos, quality vibrating eggs/balls)
You also might want to find out what your friend’s purpose is and I can further help you (Ex: if she wan’t a toy for vaginal, anal, or both usage, what she intends this toy to do for her --> (Orgasmic, Exercising, For play, Experimentation, etc)
Hopefully this helps, and if you post back with any info, then the next time I check out the forums I will try to help you further. Due to sometimes my forgetful mindset, once you post a reply back, feel free to send me an email and say something like “hey please reply here:” (haha) just so I remember to check back here, and don’t abandon you for a month :P.

Quote: Well as for the best recommendation to a friend for specifically vaginal balls then I would most likely say these Smart balls, but this is dependent on her purpose and what task she is trying to accomplish:Wow, thanks for the response. She's thinking specifically vaginal balls--exercising rather than exciting. I'm just really confused because Smart Balls are listed as silicone but don't seem to have more than a silicone coating? I'd like to recommend her to something that can be sterilized (even though she won't be sharing, so something like the Desi could work, even though it has non-silicone parts). But with so many people such big fans of the Smart Balls I'm mostly wondering--are they silicone? Elastomed? What are they, and what does it mean (are the reviews correct, can it be sterilized, etc.)?

And if they're not silicone, shouldn't the listing be fixed? *is perplexed*

Balls that train vaginal muscles

FemmeI want to work and tighten my muscles to get stronger orgasms. I bought the Smart balls and have a question now. Do I take them out when I urinate? -
HeligaQuote: I want to work and tighten my muscles to get stronger orgasms. I bought the Smart balls and have a question now. Do I take them out when I urinate?Well, you can take them out, but you don't have to. I personally leave them inside and feel no discomfort. -
Quote: I want to work and tighten my muscles to get stronger orgasms. I bought the Smart balls and have a question now. Do I take them out when I urinate?Yup, you can leave them in. It might even make for better exercise! Just watch out for the string, maybe tuck it inside first.

Smart balls vs Royal Balls

Fun Factory Smart Balls vs. Luna Pleasure Bead System
-
SirenHey! I'm a first time user of Ben Wa Balls, was looking at the smart balls vs the luna system....what are your thoughts? -
HeligaQuote: Hey! I'm a first time user of Ben Wa Balls, was looking at the smart balls vs the luna system....what are your thoughts?Smart Balls are very nice, but you get more options with the Luna Balls...you can mess around with different weights, which might be helpful if you are trying to increase the strength of the pelvic muscles.

Rachell25Quote: Hey! I'm a first time user of Ben Wa Balls, was looking at the smart balls vs the luna system....what are your thoughts?I'd rate the Luna ones as best, just because of the adjustability...But Smart Balls are certainly very good too :)))

Thank you for viewing Smart balls – sex toy review page!
I thought that you already reviewed these, maybe it was just a similar product that I recall seeing one of your reviews for. You should really consider changing your caption to "blitzkrieg sex toy reviewer", hahaha. Either way I am going to recommend that my wife look into picking up a set of these balls. I have seen a lot of reviews, but this is the first one I have read that talked about the results of using them for a while.
I did the Wicked balls a LONG time ago. I like these a little bit better, but they are more than double the price too. Blitzkrieg lol...I will keep that in mind!
Thanks for your review. I really like to pair them with Aneros Peridise, or a slender vibe on my clit and then on the balls.
I've been looking for something like this really because I have a hard time figuring out when I'm exercising the right muscles. Would these balls help me really identify and use the RIGHT muscles?
Or should I be looking for something different?
These are the just the thing...any will sort of help you work. These just tend to be a little safer.
Thank you. :]
Great review!
