Smart balls sex toy review
These are the only vaginal balls that I think should be on the market considering they are really the best in all respects. They are the best bet when it comes down too purchasing the perfect pair because thats what they are!Published: May 16, 2008
Pros:
Material, drawstring, easy to clean, portable and most of all discrete!!
Cons:
...none
When shopping for Ben wa balls the things I look for are very simple. I am interested in the construction of the balls (how they’re connected essentially), the cord, the material used and the packaging. So when I analyzed the Smartballs they immediately became the most obvious choice for me.
I love wearing them to the gym, to go clubbing and at any other time it pleases me. The smart balls are velvety, firm and have a flexible connection which allows the balls to curve and hit the g-spot. My last ben wa balls had a thick protruding like extraction cord (which is not pretty to see bulging from the crotch of yoga pants) but Smartballs have a fine cord that makes wearing them to the gym very discrete and comfortable. They’re slightly large but cause no discomfort. Some reviewers mentioned that the area that bulges out where the draw string is attached would be uncomfortable and irritate the vaginal opening. I did feel a slight irritation when I first used them but when I adjusted the Smartballs within me the twinge was gone and I never had any problems since.
The material is of utmost importance to me and it’s not only because of hygienic reasons. Since they are made of a somewhat rigid Elastomed they allow for a good movement of the inner weighted balls unlike the jelly kind which tends to dull the sensation. Also, since they are less rigid then plastic balls they are much less noisy. So no “clickety clack” sounds come from my groin while I’m on the Stairmaster at the gym!!! Don’t expect the Smartballs to work wonders if you put them in, sit down and watch a movie. They really shine when you are doing aerobics, dancing or walking. They are also wonderful when used in conjunction with a vibe on the clit since they create a full feeling.
Finally, the packaging is compact, simple and well constructed but not enough to carry around in a purse (I use a satin pouch I saved to carry them around). The Smart balls come with a sample of fun factory’s body fluid which is a long lasting silicone based lubricant. I used it on my partner to fondle him rather than use it with my Smartballs because silicone based lubes stay longer in the orifice and I am very prone to infections. It felt very silky kind of like oil but without the greasiness; it did last a long time and it easily washes off with soap and water.
This product has helped tighten my kegel’s and simply wearing them has helped increase my libido because they create an arousing sensation. It is without a doubt one of the best of its kind and outperforms all others. I suggest it to every woman interested in working out their kegel’s and mostly for beginners because they should be your first Ben wa balls since you will have them and love them for a very long time.

Follow-up commentary
29 months after original review
I still love my smartballs but I use them less often to the gym. I find that I am a serious gym goer and that they tend to distract me from my workout and I feel guilty if I didn't work as hard as I could have.
I use them when I masturbate. I will insert them and tug on the string a bit to make the inner balls jiggle. It is simple yet effective in turning me on.
To do kegels though I started doing my regular daily dose of kegel strengthening exercises and I feel these work quite well.

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? -
Quote: I just skimmed through another review for Smart Balls, and was wondering.. what's best for PC exercise? Small balls, right?

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).
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 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'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"? -

Plus, you can't have intercourse with the Smart Balls!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.

Seriously? Seriously? -
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 :)))

Thank you for viewing Smart balls – exerciser for vaginal muscles review page!



Great review of an excellent product!
Thank you Dame Demi :)
Great review and love to see that you enjoyed it.
Thank you very much Alpine Subdreams
No wonder these are so popular! Great review.
thank you SD
Great review, I've decided to finally try these babies out- Thanks NS!
Thanks, I am glad my review has helped you decide what you thought was best for you!
Thanks for the great review! I wonder if there is a major difference between the ones that are lose and the ones that are connected. I'm curious to try these, now. Thanks very much!
There is a major difference between the two. The ones that are not connected tend to be very small and do not give a full feeling. People tend to either feel them slip out on their own or not feel them at all. Also, they do not provide that "vibration" feeling that smartballs and others of its variety can. I am so biased bcs I really LOVE my smartballs, but in any case you should definitely try them!
Great review!
