Luna Beads Are Lame
The Luna Pleasure Bead System seems like an excellent idea, and I had high hopes for them – but alas, my explorations were met with disappointment and perhaps a hint of bitterness.Published: May 17, 2009
Pros:
Two interchangeable weights of balls.
Cons:
Can't be felt, don't stimulate.
Luna Beads come beautifully packaged (as Lelo products always do) and include a one year warranty to boot, which is lovely to have for the piece of mind of knowing that you're covered if your beads somehow break open.
There are two different types of beads: pink, weighing 1oz a piece, and blue, weighing 1.4oz each. In each color, one bead has an attached string, and the other is a simple free sphere. The beads are meant to be placed in the included white silicone girdle which is flexible, and with ease securely accepts the beads.
The idea behind the two weights is one of pussy strengthening and development. Start with the pink, and when your pussy starts feeling pretty buff and strong, switch to the blue beads to continue the development.
Materials wise, the girdle is silicone (so boil away!). The beads are made of hard ABS plastic, which is nice as they can be cleaned and/or disinfected quite well. The retrieval string is a simple, thin, absorbent looking synthetic string.
Now this is all good, a Luna Beads user can use the heavier or lighter beads depending on mood (or hey, even use one of each for some asymmetric fun), but unfortunately the beads are completely spherical and don't really stimulate well or feel like anything when inserted for that matter.
The only way to feel a rumble when wearing these beads is to do decently intense physical activity like jogging, jumping jacks or vigorous anal sex. Otherwise, the Luna Beads are seemingly non-existent when inserted. Compared to other options on the market such as Fun Factory Smartballs, the Luna Beads are, well, lame. This is surprising, given the dizzying array of positive reviews about Luna Beads, but it's sadly the case.
In general, I find the Luna Beads small, so maybe it's just that I have a cavernous vagina. Or, perhaps my vagina is so strong that the puny little Luna Beads are simply no match for my corded steel PC muscles. Or, maybe I'm taking crazy pills.
If not used as pussy balls, what could you do with your Luna Beads?
* Luna Beads could be used a juggernauts in an intense game of marbles – be the envy of all the kids in your neighborhood!
* They'd also be excellent as a colorful accent beside an olive in a stiff martini.
* If you're looking to throw something amidst a hissy fit, Luna Beads would be much more controllable and effective than a porcelain figurine.

Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
Recently, I have read some reviews of Luna Beads suggesting that not all Luna Beads are created equal. I'm not sure how this works exactly, but it could be that I have a dud set or older model? At any rate, I still don't like them as they still don't do anything for me.

using vaginal exercise balls with a nuva ring
-
has anyone had experience with using any exercise balls and a nuva ring birth control? is it awkward? do you take it out?
-
I had the ring for a while, and most balls shouldn't get in the way of it. When taking them out, sometimes they catch on the ring, but it's easy to just put it back in. I wouldn't worry about it!

Quote: I have a small Vajay-jay and i was wonder will a 2 1/2 inche hurt?The vagina is a very elastic organ; a baby can fit through it! With some lube, a lot of warming up, and some practice you can fit most toys that Eden sells. I'm not sure if you're talking about diameter or length, but either way be patient and work yourself up!

they look great ,, think with some lube it won´t hurt:-)

I have a discount for a LELO toy...which should I get?
-
I have a 40% off discount to Lelo's website, but I don't know what to get. I already own the Ina, the Ella, and the personal moisturizer. Of course I want EVERYTHING, but at this point I've narrowed it down to a few things. The new Mia, the Luna Beads, the candle/massage oil, or maybe the Siri. I've been buying lots of sex toys lately which is why I'm leaning towards the Luna Beads because they're cheaper and I don't own any Kegel exercisers yet. What would you do with a discount as awesome as this one?
-
It's a lot better to bump up the thread you made yesterday about this than to start a new one.
However, the Luna Beads are definitely a great choice, I've heard a lot of great things about them. I don't think you'd go wrong with those :) -

The Luna Beads are fantastic! You can REALLY feel the internal balls moving with little movement. Even just bending over will create the rolling effect. I highly recommend them!
But all my Lelo toys are superb.

Question about the Luna Beads
-
Okay, I have received these and used them several times. I'm really not sure how I feel about them yet and have a few questions
What is the purpose of the balls inside? Are the 'vibrations' supposed to be pleasurable or do they somehow help with the muscle strengthening?
What is the purpose of having two different weights? Does this something help the muscles?
Why would you start with the lighter balls? It seems to me that starting with the heavier ones would make more sense?
Are there any recommendations for how to use these? Like certain activities? -

I've read somewhere that the weights are supposed to help with muscle strengthening, although I'm not sure how valid that claim is. Mostly they're referred to as being pleasurable.

The heavier the weight of the balls, the harder your muscles have to work to hold them in. The advantage of the Luna system is it gives you more options. I would recommend starting out with the lighter balls and see how those work for you, and then progressing to the heavier.
I go about my daily activities with my Smartballs. Cleaning is more fun with them :)
Hope this helped a little! -

Perhaps the weight difference really doesn't matter as much as the claims? I felt them easier and I think that made it easier to remind me they were in. Furthermore, these things are so large (same size as the Smart balls actually) that you don't even need to use your muscles to keep them in.

I don't really find any pleasure from them and, actually, sometimes forget they're in so I wouldn't call them fun per se. -chuckles- Although, just leaving them in doesn't actually do anything, does it?
