Secret Flowers for Your Vase
While these ben wa balls are super cute and made from quality glass, they are essentially flawed. Not only are they a bit too small to be used comfortably without a string, they are also too light to give your Kegels a real workout. In short, great design, poor execution.Published: May 19, 2010
Pros:
Cute, box is great for storage, glass is easy to care for
Cons:
Too small, hard to remove
Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
I've recently attempted to use these ben wa balls again, just to see if I could handle how small they were now. It was a no go. Even though I've been doing Kegels for a while now, these are simply impossible. Not to keep in, no they say in fine... but to GET OUT! They're not worth all the pushing and panicking and such. Even when I completely relaxed they wouldn't come out easily. Ack! Maybe I'll just use them as pretty marbles.

Different Designs-Ben Wa Glass Balls
-
I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not the Ben Wa glass balls come with different flowers inside of them? Is it just one of those "You get what you get, theres all different ones" kind of thing? Or are they all the same with the yellow flower inside of them? Just wondered, because if they come with different ones, Im almost tempted to buy a few sets and try to collect them all! LMAO! They look so beautiful :)
-
I'm not 100% sure but I assume that it's just the one design.
If you take a link at this link: link, you'll see that the Crystal Balls (which I have) have two separate designs inside of them so they are both listed.
I'd think that if they had different designs, EF would list them to give the buyer then option of which one they'd prefer. Then again, I'm not totally sure since I do not own these so don't quote me lol :P -
Quote: I'm not 100% sure but I assume that it's just the one design.I agree. I would assume that they would give the options. There are a few items that DO come in "Whatever is available" and they show the possibilities. I was just wondering if anyone else got different ones from those that were shown because if so, I would love to collect a few of them. I wish that they would come out with that type of idea. I thnk it would be cool to have a little collection hehe. Thanks for your response!

Vaginal Exerciser Size Questions
-
Now I'm thinking the smaller balls would be harder to keep inside..therefore working the muscles more than the larger ben wa balls would....but a few reviews said these are good for beginners....why? My muscles are weak probably, wouldn't i need to work myway to the smaller ones?

I've had my eye on the kegelcisor for a lil' while. It seems to be useful for beginner's onward.
-
What you are saying makes sense and is how I would think about it too. If they are smaller, they would require more muscle strength keeping them inside. I think the logic behind they are good for beginners is they are small, so they go in easily, so a beginner wouldn't have issues with the size, but they could if they can't keep them inside. I have never used Ben was Balls. I like the Duo balls. They are nice. I would look at these.

ben wa balls during sex?
-
Im wondering if anyone with experience in this could tell me their pros and cons to sex with the ben wa balls in. I am curious but a bit anxious too.
-
Assuming you are talking about vaginal sex, I think one really obvious con would be that they would get crammed high up into the vaginal canal and it might be difficult to get them back out.
If you're talking about anal sex, see you at the ER. ~ -
Yes vaginal is what I was referring to.

Ben Wa Balls Falling Out
-
I have had the problem of either the ben wa balls going to far up the vaginal canal, or the balls falling out if I wear them during normal everyday activity. I have fairly strong pelvic floor muscles, but I think these particular balls are almost too light weight for wearing during normal functioning, though I have yet to progress to a heavier weight. Would this solve the problem?
-
if that's the case, i would look into buying bigger and lighter balls. then work your way up to the ones you have currently
-
Quote: if that's the case, i would look into buying bigger and lighter balls. then work your way up to the ones you have currentlyI agree, or get balls that are connected and have a tail to pull them out again. You could also try the crystal egg and see if that might work more

Glass Anal Beads
-
I'm a big fan of non-toxic sex toys that are pthalate, plastic, and latex-free. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a good selection of glass anal beads. Does anyone have a recommendation for a glass or comparable product?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a glass or comparable product?You and I are in the same boat---I've been watching these for several months now and they've always been out of stock. I'm looking at them for vaginal use, though---without a retrieval device of some kind, I'd be skeptical about anal use.
You might check out these glass+silicone anal beads, but they're brand new on the market so might take a few weeks to be stocked. -

I've add this pair to my wish list--hopefully this product and more like it will be in stock soon!

Good, quiet, vibrating ben wa balls? suggestions???
-
I'd avoid glass balls and use metal. Although we have a ton of glass dildos and love them - having pieces of glass clanging together frequently seems like a recipe for micro-cracks eventually resulting in failure (breakage).
-
yeah there are a huge selection of vibratings ben wa balls in here ,, these are glass and yes go to the page were all the selection is see the reviews and the functions ,, to see which one you like more i cannot say which one is the best ,, because everyone it´s different ,, i hope there´s one right for you ,, good luck

The forum is really meant for discussion; a comment like this doesn't inspire much discussion and would be much better served being posted on the product page rather than the forums.

Ben Wa Balls Being Lost?
-
How often would you say that these balls COULD get lost inside of you? I'm really nervous that I'll have to go to the E.R. or something if I cannot find them inside of me. It creeps me out that they're in there, unattached to anything. Although I really am interested in using them for purposes of better sex.

Although I really am interested in using them for purposes of better sex.Well, I don't think they could really get lost, there's only so far they could go, ya know? Most times I find that with my vaginal balls I can push them out by using my muscles, it's basically the same muscles you use to make a BM. If you have had kids, it's the same muscles that you use to push a baby out. Bearing down like that should help push a ball to the point that you can grab it.
That being said, there are plenty of vaginal exercisers that have retrieval cords. Smartballs, Luna Beads, Emigi, etc. Maybe check out one of those if it'd make you feel more comfortable. -
I have these, and I admit the first time I used these I was afraid they were not going to come back out. I used the same technique that Alicia recommended and it was fine. I have yet to try an exerciser with a retrieval cord but I will in the future to make things easier.

Thank you for viewing Glass ben wa balls – exerciser for vaginal muscles review page!
I remember seeing these all the time in Chinatown. Mom told me they were to exercise your hands. I don't know that's what she truly thought or if she was protecting me.
Either way, if you want to exercise your hands with these; try spinning them around each other in one palm, using only that palm to move them. Kinda fun.
Good review! Sorry, I got kinda off subject
great review
How odd I've never had problems removing these little guys! I guess maybe we are shaped just enough differently that it's a pain in the ass for you! That sux cause these are soooo pretty.
They are! I'm going to try out the Emigi and see if I have a better time when there's a retrieval string. Maybe I'll turn these into earrings! Imagine running into someone who has seen these before while you have them dangling from your ears... heh
Great review and video!
I knew these balls were small, but when you put them next to the quarter, it was very clear how small they ARE! Thank you. That was a great presentation. You have small hands, like I do, so they looked bigger, UNTIL you showed them next to the quarter. I know I'd have a hard time getting these out.
Thank you.
Oh, you might want to look into Fun Factory's Smart Balls. I did a review on them a while ago, and I LOVE mine. I have no problem inserting them, keeping them in, exercising with them or taking them out. They have a retrieval string made of TPR silicone (that's what the box calls it) and they are really great exercise balls for many people.
Those with really small or extremely tight vaginal openings may have a more difficult time with the Smart Balls, and I have learned that women with a tilted uterus can't use them at all. But, you might get a good experience with them.
Great review! These are really pretty, hate that they're small.
these are so adorable! I already have a set, but I think I just have to have these too!
@Alegria
All David Bowie'isk. *Wink*
Awesome review. These will be my first Benwa balls. And as I am already fairly tight I think they will work ok for me.
Yeah, I was worried about getting them out too. I think I may try a different set. Thanks!
I have these as well and I also found that they were somewhat difficult to extract. Mostly because they do travel upwards . If you are interested I find the easiest way to do it is to apply gentle pressure with one finger to the upper wall of the vagina while using your muscles to push them back down. Hope that helps!
Holy crap they don't look that small, even in your video, until you put them next to the quarter! Thanks for the review
Wonderful video! I really want to get these to try them out. They are amazingly pretty (both the ben wa balls and the packaging) for the price. I just hope I can get them out without panicking.
Oh, and I absolutely love your nail polish!
Thank you, everyone!
Thanks for the review! I wish they were heavier.
Good review
