Pros:
Easy to clean
No batteries or electric cord

What do they do?
Well, when you insert them into a vagina they are naturally held in place there. When the person moves around, there are weights in the balls that shift around and create subtle vibrations.
That is about it.
Some people claim that they do your taxes and raise your children as well, but so far mine only wobble and create a sense of fullness. Let's not belittle those qualities though, as my vagina is pretty fond of those feelings.
I've tried other "ben wa balls" and been utterly dissatisfied. They are often too tiny, have no vibration, and are hard to retrieve. These smart balls provide girth, interesting sensation, and are easy to remove when you use the string.
The material is smooth and easy to clean, but I recommend that due to the soft nature of the material you keep them in a separate bag. I threw mine into a full toy bag after a busy weekend of play, and I managed to scrape them with some of my other pointy toys. That was a bit of a bummer, since the scraped material made a bit of a rough spot.
Be careful of the seam, as it can sometimes be a bit rough. It isn't a problem if proper lubrication is present, but I've had someone try to cram these things into me dry before. The seam was highly unpleasant at that time. It was not, however, as unpleasant as I suddenly was to Mr. Cram It.
That brings me to the next thing that I wanted to discuss, and that is anal use. In a word, don't. They are not designed for that, and it would be very easy for them to work their way too far into the rectum and become impossible to retrieve due to suction. Anal toys should have a flange that should keep them from "disappearing" into your body. Fail to heed this warning at your own peril. There is a reason anal lovers (like myself) discuss "hungry bottoms". They tend to suck things into them. I've had everything from bass players to candles up my ass; take what I have to say seriously on this topic as mistakes have been made.
If you want to have a lot of anal fun and include these balls, I recommend using them vaginally while someone (or yourself) penetrates you anally. Now that is a lot of fun, given the added fullness and extra zing of the vibration. Add an external vibrator to that situation, and you have a particularly fabulous experience!
Some say that these balls are great exercise equipment for the pelvic floor. I take these exercises seriously, as I suffered a uterine prolapse after a very difficult pregnancy. I simply used the Kegel exercises as explained by my physician, and I made a full recovery. I think that if I were to honestly recommend exercise equipment for that purpose, the Kegelcisor is much more appropriate.

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

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 – sex toy review page!
Good informative review with lots of good advice! These balls definitely look like they're a good workout for a reasonable price.
Nice review!
On the material- it's elastomed/silicone, and can be boiled, wiped with bleach solution or put in dishwasher (top rack, no soap) to sterilize.
On the exercise value- these balls can be a good starting point and offer a different kind of workout than something heavier will. In theory, the vibrating sensation from the internal set of balls massages muscles, and having them in while doing Kegels offers more resistance (and therefore more workout) than nothing. Definitely will only go so far for serious pelvic floor exercising, though.
Thanks for the review! I've been wanting these for quite awhile now. I was unaware of the seam until reading your review though.
Nice review!
great review
