Not for ME!

The Smart Balls were a complete disappointment for me. If you generally have difficulty inserting toys, I would stay away from this product.
Published: September 1, 2009
Pros:
Look good; smell good; easily cleaned.
Cons:
VERY difficult to insert; I felt next to nothing.

useful review
These were the first (and so-far only) vaginal balls I have bought. I read the glowing reviews and decided the Smart Balls were the ones to buy. Removing them from the package, I thought they looked nice, and they have no off-putting odor. The product information makes clear that they can be easily cleaned, certainly an advantage. They are also phthalates free and hypo-allergenic. Considering that you leave them in your vagina for along periods of time, this is essential.

I anticipated an interesting new experience. Unfortunately my experience was not very positive. My first problem with the balls is that I cannot insert them easily. In fact, I can hardly insert them at all! Although they do not look large, for some reason I have to work and work and work to get them in, and it is not a pleasant doing so. Yes, I made sure to lubricate them well with the lube that was included, but it was still far too difficult. In general I cannot insert large dildos or vibrators, but average sized is OK, and these balls are not THAT big. Why it was so hard I cannot say. Perhaps it is the special, easily-cleanable coating?

All of this would have been acceptable if the pay-off had been as spectacular as some reviewers reported. However, once I finally got them in my vagina, I felt almost nothing! Every once in a while I did feel the vibrations the other reviewers write about as the balls inside the Smart Balls moved around, but I certainly did not feel anything like arousal.

On top of everything, I had problems getting them OUT again! Despite these difficulties, I did use them a number of times. There was no change, either in the ease of insertion or the sensations I felt. Sigh.
Follow-up commentary
My review of this product caused a lot of comment. As I said originally, it is not for me, but from the response, it is clear that it IS a product for other people. I will not use it, but hey, if you're interested, give it a try. Might be great for you!

I'm wondering if these were for you like the Eclipse balls were for me where you can only feel movement with really vigorous activity like jumping. Was that how they were for you?

Yes, exactly! In fact, I kept trying to do something that would allow me to feel them, like jumping. Big smile

That's too bad.. I've been thinking about these but I wouldn't want to get them if they are hard to insert. Everyone's experience can be so different. Were you scared at all? That could make your muscles tighten and then you can't insert them properly.

WildKimA (verified)

I'm that's an interesting point. I don't know if I was scared. I don't THINK so but it was a new kind of insertion. It's not like a dildo or a vibrator; I mean they don't go in straight with something to hold on to. This is hard to explain. You're holding the ball in your hand and then you have to push with your fingers on the other side of the ball to get it in. Often when I use a dildo, it takes a bit of manipulating to get it in the right spot to move it fully in. I couldn't do that with the ball. It just kept getting hung up, if you know what I mean.

I finally got them in by lying on the bed and putting my legs in the air. But it wasn't pleasant, as I said in the review.

That make sense. That's exactly why I'm hesitant to try them. Again, I'm sorry they didn't work for you. I've seen a product that's just one ball (with a string) and I've thought about trying it. Here's the link, if you're interested. It seems a bit less daunting to me.

Thanks for responding Smile

I have these and love them. Are they *easy* to insert? No, but nowhere near as difficult as you seemed to find them.

I do not feel arousal when I wear them, and I'm not quite sure that's the point of them. They're for strengthening PC muscles. I barely feel them when they're in as well, but that's part of what I like about them. I can wear them for hours and barely feel them, so I can be strengthening my vaginal muscles while going about my daily activities, be it work or school, without interference from them.

My Dom will also have me put them in at random times and whenever I *do* feel them, I think about him. I enjoy playing with them that way, too.

Shame that you didn't like them!

While Smart Balls can bring stimulation to some, the main purpose of them is for vaginal strength. Many people I know have vaginal exercisers and they get not erotic pleasure from them.

spicywife (verified)

It's not unrealistic for her to except from pleasure or stimulation from Smart Balls. Most of the reviews report them as being very pleasurable to use. My opinion, though, is that the main purple is a vaginal exerciser not a pleasure device.

The Fun Factory web site also describes them as being pleasurable:
"Smartballs -
a deeply feminine pleasure

SMARTBALLS will let you experience a wide range of emotions and motion, because their friendly texture will give way to intimate massage, from slow and smooth initially, then shifting slowly to ever more caressing and exciting feelings so hard to describe you just have to go out of your way to get a hold of them. They will become your new best friend in a heartbeat."

I'm glad people are chiming in on these! I was going to add in my review that if I had bought them only for working my PC muscles I would have been happier. But that wasn't why I bought them. The description of their becoming my new best friend, etc. that Spicywife quoted intrigued me, and I wanted to try the experience they described. Also, quite a few reviews note that they were aroused when using them.

About insertion: everyone is different. For me, they WERE very hard to insert. I wanted women to know that they can be difficult to use, especially if you have problems with inserting other toys.

The title of the review is "Not for Me". They're not for me. Doesn't mean they aren't for other women. Britni, I think it would be wonderful to be reminded of my lover when they moved around! Just won't happen for me (too bad).

I appreciate your review. Honestly, I do think that vaginal balls in general are not super easy to insert but I think these are pretty big. My guess would be the shape makes it more difficult, too.

I would absolutely expect to be able to feel them. Otherwise, how does it remind you to use them? I mean, that's kind of a "Duh" point so I'm shocked at some of the comments here. I've heard some colour combos are less stimulating than others, strangely enough. What colour were yours?

I assume the little indentations were no help when it came to inserting, because it was still difficult. That would be something to add into your review.

Even though they haven't been amazing for you, how did you feel about overall quality and cleaning?

09/07/2009
WildKimA (verified)

Adriana, I'm not sure about the color combination. Mine are black and a kind of gray. Don't know how the color could possibly make them more stimulating, except psychologically?

I didn't mention the little indentations because, frankly, I never paid any attention to them. Didn't even notice they were there.

About cleaning, I did say they were easily cleanable. Should I say HOW they are supposed to be cleaned? And quality: I didn't use them enough for any wear and tear to be shown. Should I have put in something about what the quality seemed to be? I will go back and edit the review if necessary...now that I know HOW to edit a review.

This review sure got some response, didn't it?

It sounds like you already have great muscle tone, when it comes to balls like these they usually just slip out and the advantages of using them is that it perfects my muscle strength by me trying and straining so hard to keep them in.

  • 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?

      I have the Smartballs, as well as the Luna Beads by Lelo. 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).

      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 really want some also, and I'll probably be settling for these versus the Smart Balls or Luna Beads, simply because of size. 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"?

      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. This also makes them a good toy to use anally as well."

      Seriously? Seriously?
      I dunno, there is a pretty good size difference between the covered string and the two balls...I honestly never thought of that, but it looks like it'd work fine.
    • 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.

      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*

      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 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.

      I'd rate the Luna ones as best, just because of the adjustability...But Smart Balls are certainly very good too :)))
