Smartballs: A++

These are my first kegel exercisers and, admittedly, I probably should have started with something smaller, or maybe even the Uno, but I've never been one to pace myself. I want what I want when I want it, and I wanted these! With astounding positive reviews, I was giddy to receive these in the mail.

Upon first opening the very nice sleeved box packaging (keep it! It's good storage!), I was a bit disappointed to find that there were minimal instructions. There are a few "informational dots" on the packaging, but they didn't tell me anything I didn't already know (for vaginal use, women only, silicone). The Fun Factory website wasn't much help either.

Once I got over the lack of literature and looked over the actual product, I realized how big the balls were! At first it was a bit intimidating, but with a diameter of roughly 1 1/2" they're no bigger than anything else I've ever taken on. The first couple times I used these were a bit of a pain; getting them in, then keeping them there. The balls are hard and have no give, but are encased by a textured silicone layer (remember not to use silicone lube with these!) that does drag a bit, but that keeps them from slipping out too easily. At first they were fairly uncomfortable and even painful when sitting down, but by the 3rd time I used them, I had more of a feel for how to put them in and use them and thus no more discomfort! The first time I used these I was also pretty scared to take them out. When I got the bottom ball out, my pelvic muscles really grabbed the top ball, and I mean really grabbed! I was afraid with how hard I was pulling, that the small cord connecting the two balls was going to snap! But considering that it didn't snap under all the force I was putting on it is just a testament to how strong the silicone is!

I love wearing these around while cleaning the house, running errands, dancing, or working out. And they work! One of my partners proclaims that I have the tightest, most responsive vagina he's ever experienced. The results don't satisfy him, but they've heightened pleasure for myself as well, intensifying orgasms.

When you're done working out your kegels, just toss your smartballs into some boiling water to sterilize them, then put them back in their neat little box to keep them clean and away from other silicone.
