Kegel and Ben Wa Balls: Strengthening Your Pelvic Floor with Pleasure
Share
Kegel and Ben Wa balls have been used for centuries — not only to enhance pleasure, but to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles that support sexual wellness, bladder control and overall core health. For many women, these small, elegant tools become a lifelong addition to their self-care routine, improving sensitivity, increasing arousal and making orgasms feel stronger and more responsive.
Whether you're exploring pelvic floor training for health reasons, intimate pleasure or both, this guide will help you understand how Kegel & Ben Wa Balls work, why they’re beneficial and how to choose the right set for your body.
What Are Kegel & Ben Wa Balls?
Kegel and Ben Wa balls are weighted spheres designed to sit comfortably inside the vagina. With every movement you make, your muscles naturally contract to hold them in place — creating a gentle workout for the pelvic floor. Over time, this improves muscle tone, enhances control and increases sensitivity.
Many women find that consistent use leads to:
• Stronger orgasms
• Better arousal
• Increased lubrication
• Heightened internal sensitivity
• Improved bladder control
• A feeling of core stability
They’re discreet, simple to use and effective whether you're sitting, walking, stretching or going about your day.
How Pelvic Floor Strength Affects Pleasure
The pelvic floor is a powerful but often overlooked part of sexual wellness. When these muscles are strong, they support:
• Better vaginal tightness
• More responsive contractions during orgasm
• Enhanced internal pressure during penetration
• Improved blood flow to the intimate area
• Greater overall sensitivity
Weak pelvic muscles, on the other hand, may lead to reduced sensation, difficulty reaching orgasm or decreased sexual confidence. Strengthening this area improves not only physical function but emotional connection to your body.
Types of Kegel & Ben Wa Balls
Not all pelvic floor tools are the same. Different weights, shapes and designs offer unique benefits based on your experience level.
1. Single-Ball Designs
Single Kegel & Ben Wa Balls are perfect for beginners. They’re lightweight, easy to insert and comfortable to wear. These designs help you get used to the sensation while gently engaging the muscles.
Ideal for:
• First-time users
• Postpartum recovery (with medical guidance)
• Anyone wanting a subtle introduction to pelvic training
2. Double-Ball Designs
Double-ball sets offer a more advanced workout. The two connected spheres create movement inside the vagina, prompting stronger contractions and deeper engagement of the pelvic floor.
These are great for women who have already built some strength and want to enhance the intensity of their routine.
3. Weighted Kegel Systems
Some systems include multiple weights that progress from light to heavy. This allows you to gradually strengthen your muscles over time, much like resistance training.
Weighted systems help you:
• Track progress
• Increase resistance safely
• Build strength evenly
• Customise your daily routine
These designs are excellent for long-term pelvic floor health.
4. Vibrating Kegel Balls
While vibration isn’t necessary for strengthening, vibrating options can help enhance arousal and make the experience feel more sensual. Some women use them during personal time; others enjoy wearing them discreetly throughout the day.
These toys combine training with pleasure, offering a unique and exciting two-in-one experience.
How to Use Kegel & Ben Wa Balls
Kegel balls are easy to use once you understand the basics. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started.
Start with Lubrication
Use a small amount of water-based lube on the balls to make insertion easy and comfortable.
Insert Like a Tampon
Gently slide the ball (or set) into the vagina, placing it a few centimetres inside. If your set has a retrieval loop, leave it comfortably outside the body.
Let the Muscles Do the Work
Once inserted, your pelvic floor naturally engages to keep the balls in place. This automatic contraction is what strengthens the muscles.
Move Around
You can:
• Walk
• Stretch
• Do household tasks
• Go about your normal day
Movement encourages the weights inside the balls to shift, creating micro-contractions that strengthen the pelvic floor.
Start Slowly
Begin with 10–15 minutes a day and gradually increase to 30–60 minutes as your comfort and strength grow. Consistency is far more important than duration.
Remove and Clean
To remove, relax your muscles and gently pull the retrieval loop. Clean them with warm water and a safe formula from our Toy Cleaners collection.
Tips for Better Kegel Training
Listen to Your Body
If the balls feel too heavy or too large, switch to a lighter or smaller set until your muscles adjust.
Don’t Overtrain
Your pelvic floor can become fatigued like any other muscle. Allow for rest days to maintain healthy strength.
Pair with Pleasure
Many women enjoy using Vibrators or other intimacy tools after a Kegel session. Strengthened muscles often make orgasms more powerful and responsive.
Try Different Weights
As you progress, explore heavier options to continue strengthening safely and effectively.
Choosing the Right Kegel Set
Consider:
Experience Level
Beginners → single spheres or lightweight sets
Experienced users → double spheres or weighted systems
Material
Body-safe silicone is smooth, soft, hypoallergenic and easy to clean.
Comfort
Choose shapes that match your anatomy and feel comfortable during movement.
Purpose
Are you training for pleasure enhancement, postpartum recovery or overall pelvic health?
This will influence the weight and design you select.
Caring for Your Kegel Balls
Caring for your set is simple:
• Clean before and after use
• Use Toy Cleaners
• Store in a safe, dry space
• Avoid silicone-based lubes with silicone products
Good care ensures long-lasting performance and hygiene.
Strengthening Your Body, Enhancing Your Pleasure
Kegel & Ben Wa balls are more than a sex toy — they’re an investment in your intimate health. Strong pelvic floor muscles create deeper sensations during sex, more powerful orgasms and a healthier connection to your body overall.
Whether you're strengthening for wellness, exploring new sensations or combining training with pleasure, these elegant tools offer both empowerment and enjoyment.
