My Balls are Smart
Give your vag a workout with Fun Factory Smartballs Teneo Duo. These body safe, easy to use vaginal balls are great and will have your bits in shape in no time at all.Published: July 25, 2011
Pros:
Easy to use, trusted name, lightweight
Cons:
May be too large for some.
USE:
Do your kegels! It is something most women hear quite a bit at some time in their life. If you are anything like me, you don't really think about it. When you do, you get a few squeezes in here and there and then you forget, and next thing you know its been a month since you last did a workout.
But thankfully, there are vaginal exercisers like the Fun Factory Smartballs Teneo Duo. They are easy to insert, have an easy retrieval cord and they make your muscles work without you really even having to think about it. Stronger muscles make for better bladder control and better orgasms so it is certainly something we can all benefit from.
HOW DO YOU USE IT?:
There is not much to using these little things. There is a finger hollow at the base. You put your finger there to make it easy to put in. A small drop of water based lube on the top can help ease them in if you have problems. You then insert your Smartballs just like you would a tampon. You can prop your leg up, squat, whatever is comfortable for you. Once they are in place they will stay there with the help of your PC muscles.
The retrieval cord with hang out for easy removal when you are done. Just give it a little tug and the Smartballs pop out. The cord is strong and holds up to some hard tugs.
They should not be used anally.
DESIGN/SHAPE/FEEL:
The Teneo Duo is made up of 2 elastomed balls that are encased in smooth, soft silicone. Each ball has a circumference of 5 inches and is 1.75 inches long. The total insertable length is 4 inches. In each large ball, there is a smaller ball that jiggles around when in motion. This jiggle gives off the slightest vibration that tells your body to squeeze onto them. There is a 3.5 inch long retrieval cord attached to the base for removal.
CARE AND STORAGE:
You can wash your smartballs with warm water and soap or your favorite toy cleaner. There are crevices where the silicone meets the elastomed balls that you will want to pay closer attention to to make sure they are good and clean. Once they are clean, you can store them with your other pure silicone toys, in a ziploc bag or int he original packaging.
HOW DID IT WORK?
I love these! They are bigger than the other vaginal balls I have which make them easier to grip during daily activities. Some people may have a harder time with the size of these but for my experience, I found the size just right. I tend to wear them to work and I have no issues at all with them when I am at it.
As with all Fun Factory toys it came with a full instruction pamphlet in multiple languages, a product pamphlet and a sample of their water based lube, Toyfluid. For those who wish to know, the ingredients for Toyfluid are Aqua, Glycerin, Ethoxydiglycol, Guar Hydroxypropultrimonium Chloride, Hydroxypropylcellulose, Citric Acid, Benzyl Alcohol / Methylisothiazolinone/ Methylchloroisothiazolinone.

Have you tried these or something similar?

I'm curious to hear about how long (daily and over the long term) you wore them, and what the results were. Could you tell a difference?

Quote: I'm curious to hear about how long (daily and over the long term) you wore them, and what the results were. Could you tell a difference?I'll be interested to hear people's responses to this. My understanding is that they can be worn all day. But when I try to wear any toy for a prolonged period of time (more than 1 hours) I find that I get dry and the toy gets uncomfortable and I have to take it out.
As for telling a difference: I try to remember to do some Kegel exercises a few times a day, and I've noticed a difference since I started. Since these toys are a Kegel exerciser, I assume that if they do what they're meant to do, then yes, you would be able to tell a difference. These are at the top of my wishlist right now. Maybe I'll get them soon and I'll be able to give you an answer myself! -
never tried them. Looks cool though

Choosing The Right Ben Wa Balls For Your Anatomy
-
So, this is a general question for all the women out there. I recently purchased Fun Factory's Smart balls Teneo Duo and they're my first set of ben wa balls. I spent quite some time analyzing the different types of ben wa balls and felt comfortable enough purchasing the ones from Fun Factory after the great reviews. Now that I've gotten them and tried them a few times, I'm sort of disappointed and left wondering if I'm doing something wrong (since many others seem to love them).
For me, the balls are very cumbersome to insert. The product isn't huge by any means. I own vibrators with a larger circumference than the Teneo Duo. Yet, everytime I've struggled to insert them (even with lube). Additionally, I can't feel any vibrations or movement. I know they're not necessarily supposed to be arousing. But, I literally can't feel anything. While, when I hold them in my hand and move them slightly, I can feel the movement without a problem. So. I'm looking for advice from any women out there.
Should I have started with smaller sized ben wa balls? Does the material of the balls make a difference in sensation (metal vs. silicone)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -

I can offer some personal insight into one of your problems, and will take a stab in the dark at the other.

First, as to insertion, my stab in the dark is: are you using lube and inserting the balls one by one? This toy needs lubricant, as its silioone creates a lot of friction and "drag." I swab some lube on the top half of the first ball, and a little around the neck of the second. I also find the finger insertion grip to be useless for the first ball. You have to hold the first ball on its own and pop it in there, then use the finger grip for the second.
As to the vibrations, my personal experience is that I didn't feel them at all when I first started using the smartballs, but the sensation improved as my grip did. I didn't find that the vibrations stimulated involuntary muscle contractions or gave me a passive workout out of the box. I had to use them for a couple of weeks and do a lot of deliberate squeezing before the process got more automatic.
Your mileage may vary, as everyone's anatomy is different, but my advice would be to give it a couple of weeks of daily wear and see whether your opinion changes. I love mine now and feel that they provide a PC muscle workout that is superior to kegel exercises sans equipment.
Hope this helps. -

I've never been impressed by any balls, because I can't feel them. I think I'll take your advice and try to get some regular use out of mine so maybe I can see what all the fuss is about.

Between the Smartballs Teneo duo and the regular Smartballs

Quote: Between the Smartballs Teneo duo and the regular SmartballsThe regular smart balls are smaller in diameter and circumference. So pick which one you think would be more comfortable for you.

The Teneo Duo are also made out of silicone, while the regular Smartballs are made of Elastomed.
