Strengthening those Kegels...

Contributor: Donna Matrix Donna Matrix
I keep seeing things like Fun Factory's "Smart Balls" and metal weighted toys and fairly oddly shaped devices/dildos that are said to strengthen and train the kegel/PC muscles.

Hey, I love what I've got and want to make it better! Sounds fun and hot to me!

Would anyone out there like to share their knowledge and experience with me? What works, what doesn't?

I'm thinking about getting the "Smart Balls" and have seen discussions on that, but not on the other toys specifically designed for kegels. (My apologies to the moderators if I missed that thread!)

But do you have stronger PC muscles now that you have smart balls?

I have a kegelmaster and that works but I don't know how it compares with the vaginal exercisers sold here. Some people think the kegelcisor is better.

Humm, Maybe because the smart balls remind me to kegel. I do not think they do it for me.

I really like the SmartBalls and Luna Beads for kegel exercises. They become effortless and I end up doing them most of the day.

I'll be reviewing the Energie soon. I'll be sure to stop back at this thread to let you know how it works.

I recommend the Kegelcisor enhansor. I went from having a very weak bladder from my pregnant and post-pregnant days (talkin' about panty liners for when you cough) to being able to grip my husband's cock and make him feel like I've imprisoned it. It was designed by the medical community too- and it's FDA approved.

A few of my friends used to work at Grand Opening in Boston and they always touted Njoy's Pure Wand and Fun Wand as great Kegel exercisers.

I do Kegels frequently while I'm waiting in line at a grocery store or doing things like pumping gas. It seems to help make the monotonous things less monotonous to know that I'm working on my pelvic muscles doing everyday things.

Which do you think are better? The luna beads seem more versatile.

It started with every other day, then every day.. it got to the point where I felt like I didn't need it and that was after about 12 weeks.

OK. That looks just plain awkward. How did you manage it on a practical level? That looks like a Kegel excisor that only works when you are walking around naked with something handing out of your vagina.

Second question- personal. Did you in any way have a partially or prolapsed uterus? I'm curious if you went from that weak pelvic floor to that strong. (Not that being that strong would actually be a benefit in my life!)

@ Donna Matrix I like them both, for different reasons, but I'm slightly partial to SmartBalls. I like the athletic styling (after all, it is athletic equipment for my pelvic floor muscles) and the color combinations. I also like the slightly larger size. I can't really feel the Luna Beads as much. I don't notice their vibration as much. They're more subtle. I do like the two sets of beads that come with the Luna Beads, the option to insert just one bead, and the ability to vary the weight of the beads that I choose to place in the white retainer and insert. It's six in one, half a dozen in the other, for me.

If the kegelcisor is anything like the energie I just ordered, you don't walk around with it in. You lay down and do squeezing exercises with it, trying to pull it into your vagina with your muscles. Or something like that.

Sleeping Dreamer, Is the kegelcisor better than squeezing with nothing inside? If so what is it that makes it effective?

You want to lay down- insert it, and try to have your muscles squeeze around it.
It's better with something in because you're trying to actually SQUEEZE that object with your pc muscles, whereas with nothing, your body is just trying to figure out what you're doing and you may not be actually squeezing your muscles- just kind of pushing and squeezing in your face.

The manufacturer's website... includes exercises and how to do them: link


As far as before, yes, I've had pelvic floor support issues. I was actually recommended to see a physical therapist but I used the kegelcisor instead and I haven't had any problems since.

Compared to the weighted beads of the Luna, do you feel that the SmartBalls are a comparable weight and/or do the same thing?

Thanks for your helpful reply!

From what I've read, the kegelcisor and other vaginal exercisers like it also work better than squeezing alone because of their weight.

It's like doing a bicep curl with weight or without. You're going to get better results with.

Hmmm. Then the Pure Wand might be even better.

I think each of us have our preferences on which items to use and which ones help. The main thing to remember is that you have to continue to use whichever you chose or remember to do your kegals on a regular basis. I have several balls and they do make a difference- when I can remember to use them for more than a day or two..

I just got the Loa beads, and will be doing a review soon, they definately have helped me with bladder control. I haven't had children, but I find I don't have to pee as often or as urgently as i was recently. I had strong PC muscles to start with, but after just wearing Loa for about 10 minutes the first time I used them, the next day I felt like I'd put my vagina on a treadmill.. like worked out. So the whole landscape of my Pelvic muscles has become more understandable to me, and I am now generally stronger in my PC muscles. I would like to try some kegels balls that are a little heavier though sometime now, and for kegels and pleasure purposes, would love to get the Njoy Pure Wand.
