Hiding sex toys while you exercise for Better Sex!

Published: September 20, 2008
useful review
A quiet, discreet way to remind you to do Kegels! Whenever and however you want. As a bonus- they might just turn you on!
Pros:
The weight of the balls inside you is a great reminder to exercise your muscles!
Cons:
I disliked the clear, cheap plastic case!

The Smart Balls by Fun factory are marketed as Kegel exercisors. There are already tons of reviews on this site. Many of them talk of the sexual pleasure they have gotten from the Smart Balls, others talk about the product was used as a Kegel exercisor.

I'm a mom of two and almost forty. I think that childbirth was a bit hard on my cunt- leaving it more stretched out than it was as a teenager. I do have sex frequently and feel that I have pretty strong PC muscles. There isn't a reason in the world not to do Kegels though. Despite that knowledge, except for practice during sex- I'm inconsistent about when I do them, so I wanted to try to see if any toys helped.

The Smart Balls are great because they can be used/worn inside during the day, when nobody knows. Not just practice when you are naked!

As for their size... They are unevenly weighted. They are actually not really that large. They are about the size of many dildo's in diameter, or slightly larger. There are two of them and they might bend a bit inside of you changing as you change position. I found this a benefit!

How well do they fit? They are large enough and heavy enough that I actively want to clench my muscles to hold them closer. Great goal. They are not so loose that they fall out easily, but (for me) they are easy to remove with one strong pelvic squeeze. Remember, I've been fisted before and loved it. These don't even come close to reminding me of that, but for someone smaller I suppose they might. To me, the size isn't really an issue. It's the weight that reminds you to work your muscles.

How have I used them? I've had them for awhile, but I admit to being inconsistent with them. I initially wore them with a skirt, because I wasn't sure how they'd feel or how I'd react. It was a distraction making dinner! Today I found the perfect solution. I actually came first thing in the morning, inserted the smart balls without any additional lube, then proceeded to exercise on a stepper. Exercised for over 45 minutes in the presence of family! I loved it. The smart balls served as a constant reminder to work my PC muscles, but were not a distraction. I plan to use them every time I exercise for two or three weeks then write a follow up review on any noticeable changes in personal strength or tightness of my cunt!

If you have weak muscles or a larger vagina when you first begin using these, I wouldn't recommend peeing with them in. You might find that you are no longer holding the smart balls!

My primary complaint about the Smart Balls is the case. Mine came in a clear, little plastic case. I'm using these more as a daily exercise device, not a sex toy. It doesn't store with the rest of my sex toys. Just what am I supposed to do with something strange looking that I want easily accessible before getting dressed?
Experience
A couple times initially I felt like I was pinched by the seam with the ball. The solution there was to just insert them further inside your pussy. I've never needed lube with this product, but that's just me.

I think the Smart Balls are a great investment in your own health- even if you use them infrequently. I also think they have enormous potential as Sex toys.
Follow-up commentary
So... The real question is do they work as a Kegel exercisor? I'd say probably, but it's hard to tell. After four weeks of using them fairly consistently, I've found that they are more difficult to insert. I'm more aware of doing Kegels at random times during the day. I can't tell any difference during sex, but then I would have found that one extremely difficult to judge. My partner's opinion, "sex is great. I can't tell..." I still love them during exercise though. I have found that they are not always the most comfortable item to find yourself sitting down with. They can twist or pinch in a strange direction. I prefer to only wear them when I know that I'll be standing for awhile, and have some flexibility in case I want to remove them.

Over the long term, the bottom line is that I just don't always use them daily despite good intentions. I've moved to keeping them in a dedicated zip-lock bag in the bathroom. They never did much for me sexually. I don't really think that I need extensive Kegel exercise. I do think they are the best material I've seen for Kegels yet though.

I'm trying to think of what you could use as a storage box... what about the box from a box of checks? Also, when you buy magnetic poetry it comes in a plastic box that latches, so maybe one of those? I dunno.

Right now, I just have them in an obscure corner of a bathroom cabinet. But I wonder about the day the kids find them looking for something. Honesty in sex, like everything else. I just prefer to wait! I think magnetic poetry is also clear... Oh well!

They work great as an exerciser but are just as good as a sex toy. We have use them in combination with other toys as their are many possiblites. Happy exercising and playing.

I'll be watching for your follow up, as I'm interested if they actually helped with muscle toning or not. I've had mine for awhile, but haven't noticed much with their use, for me they turned out to be more of a novelty product than anything else. They are fun though :)

I like how these reminded you to use your muscles. I have another similar product on the way and I hope it works well; I'm not sure my PC muscles are that strong.

I can't wait to see your follow up!

They would sure surprise my husband if I didn't tell him what I was upto! It does sound like a fun way to play! I've lot about it before, but since I bought them more as Kegel reminder I never followed up. I might have to before I do a follow up. On their own, I haven't found them that sexy.

At about 1 3/8", I would say they're the diameter of small-medium dildos, definitely not *large*, but bigger than many other vaginal balls.
Also- they can be boiled or put in the dishwasher for sterilizing!

I find they are more exciting when you are on the stepper than on a station bike or doing weights!
If I had external stimulation (on the clit) as I do my stepping at the school gym, a big orgasm would be warranted!:)
I have yet to learn how to orgasm with them in alone!!!!

We keep these in a safe next to our bed, and my 7yr old son found them one day while my husband and I were napping, He jumped up on the bed and yelled "WHAT ARE THESE HIDING IN YOUR TREASURE BOX??!!" I about crapped........lol thank Goodness he didnt pull out anything elseSurprised Now I double check the lock lol.

  • Sizes of PC balls
    • Valyn
      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.]
    • Backseat Boohoo
      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.

      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
    • Epiphora
      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.
    • Bulma
      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
    • LovingBookworm
      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!
    • Alt
      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.

      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 :)))
