After doing some research on kegels, I found that ben wa balls have provided many women some fun while they were "working out."

These were actually the only options I found for ben wa balls in the shop where I was at, but because they were pretty, and came in a box, I went ahead and bought them anyways.

I put off using them until I did more research, since they didn't come with any instructions, and I was unsure as to how to remove them. (Even after using them for a year, I still look funny trying to take them out.)

Once I first used them, I was a little disappointed. I felt like I should get some kind of pleasure from them. I've come to accept that these ones won't roll around (at least for me), causing pleasure on their own. When I use them with a clitoral vibrator though, I can feel slight movement, which is satisfying.

I haven't tried using them with a partner, or with any other kind of insertion. I've always removed them just beforehand.

They are extremely easy to clean, because they are glass. The easiest way, I have found, is removing them while in the shower. There I can rinse them off, while cleaning myself. They are very durable. I dropped one once, and started freaking out, thinking I had cracked it and would have to throw them away, but there wasn't even a scratch.

I find that it doesn't matter if I use them for 30 minutes, or several hours. I still feel like I get the same workout. I still enjoy wearing them out in public though. If I use them 3-4 times a week, I feel like I am at my prime. And the best part is, you can use them while cleaning the house or taking a shower, and going on a walk... the opportunities are endless!

The box makes them discreet, and keeps them together, and easy to find.

All in all, I find them more useful than satisfying.
