Smart balls sex toy review
Vaginal balls by Fun Factory
Published: March 28, 2008
somewhat useful review
This is a really great toy for those days when you don't want a huge dildo or deep penetration, but still want something.
Pros:
a nice alternative to dildo penetration
Cons:
not appropriate for anal play
Everyone says they use these for kegel exercises, but I just use them for jilling off. I really don’t like cervix-bruising penetration or large toys. Smart balls provide a nice subtle sensation of fullness to enhance other sexual activities. Don’t expect them to give you some sort of magical mind-bending orgasm, but you will experience a distinct gentle sensual experience.
I’ve used ben wa balls in the past, but Smart Balls are a huge improvement. My set is blue and gray, but I wish I had chosen the purple. I like that the two balls are connected together and have a string at the end. I like being able to position the balls and control their movement. Ben wa balls just roll all over. The string at the end makes taking them out a whole lot easier. Not that these toys will get lost in the vagina, but it’s a whole lot easier to pull Smart Balls out than to wait for ben wa balls to roll out.
The size of the balls is really pleasing. They aren’t too big, but they’re big enough to know that something is going on. The balls have small weights inside that you can feel moving when you move. I like to use this toy while using another clit stimulating toy. I don’t wear Smart balls around the house. This toy has great potential for teasing in a BDSM context. Smart Balls are not suited for anal play. Please just use anal beads made specifically for anal play.
Inserting this toy was really easy. The first ball went in smoothly. The second ball took a bit of effort. The connector in the middle bent, so the first ball was going in at an angle. I used a little lube and it felt so smooth. I didn’t push the balls in very far. I probably could have gotten them to hit my g-spot with a little more planning.

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'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"? -

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.

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.

Quote: 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: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*

Balls that train vaginal muscles
-
FemmeI 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? -
HeligaQuote: 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?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 vs Royal Balls

lesgirlThere are a few reviews that say the Royal balls break in the *thin* center part between the balls. Anyone had this experience with the Smart Balls? Any advice would be great! -

Fun Factory Smart Balls vs. Luna Pleasure Bead System
-
SirenHey! I'm a first time user of Ben Wa Balls, was looking at the smart balls vs the luna system....what are your thoughts? -
HeligaQuote: Hey! I'm a first time user of Ben Wa Balls, was looking at the smart balls vs the luna system....what are your thoughts?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.

Rachell25Quote: Hey! I'm a first time user of Ben Wa Balls, was looking at the smart balls vs the luna system....what are your thoughts?I'd rate the Luna ones as best, just because of the adjustability...But Smart Balls are certainly very good too :)))

This shouldn't be appropriate for anal play period. It doesn't have a flanged base, so these could get easily lost inside the vaginal canal. While these can be used during masturbation their main intention is to be a vaginal exerciser.. I'd be worried if someone wanted to use them during anal pleasure.
