Much talked about and available in all shapes and sizes, they are objects designed for our sexual well-being: Kegel balls! Behind this name lie small sex toys designed to rehabilitate and strengthen the pelvic floor, whose effectiveness and benefits are well established.
But how do you choose them? Follow the guide!
Kegel balls: what are they?
Kegel balls are two balls measuring between 3 and 5 cm, with varying weights. Connected by a cord, they are inserted fully into the vagina. Practical, effective and discreet for toning the pelvic floor muscles, they are essential well-being allies. The benefits of these sex toys are numerous, whether for strengthening the pelvic floor after childbirth or for heightening sensations during sex. They help tone the pelvic floor, enhance sensations, increase the vagina's natural lubrication, and reduce the risk of incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
So what factors should you take into account when making your choice?
The material
Before using them, you should first consider their material, as there are several different types: glass, metal, stone, textured, silicone… If you're a beginner, I'd recommend starting with silicone balls. Being slightly malleable, this material makes them easier to insert and keep in place.
Size and weight
Next come weight and size. It is important to always start with large, light balls in order to gently accustom and strengthen your pelvic floor.
If your pelvic floor is weakened following one or more births, or if you experience occasional light urinary leaks, you can start with standard-sized balls of around 35 mm and a low weight, between 24 and 30 g. You can then move on to Kegel balls with a heavier weight, between 48 and 100 g. Sets are also a great way to progress gradually at your own pace.
If you simply want to maintain your pelvic floor or if you experience occasional leaks, you can start with balls weighing between 40 and 85 g.
If you are under 30, have never given birth, or have a narrow pelvis, you can opt for smaller smartballs of around 30 mm in diameter. However, depending on your needs, you can start with a single ball at a low weight and then gradually move up to a heavier one.
If you have no pelvic floor dysfunction but wish to tone your pelvic floor, you can start training with 1 or 2 balls weighing at least 50 g. You can also use balls weighing between 85 and 136 g to improve the quality of your sex life.
The type
Once you have chosen the material, size and weight of your future Kegel balls, you still need to decide on the type of balls you want to use: standard or vibrating.
- Standard Kegel balls are the most suitable for all body types. They consist of one or two balls to be inserted into the vagina, attached to a cord for removal.
- Vibrating Kegel balls are, as the name suggests, accessories that create intense vibrations, enhancing sensations. Once inserted into the vagina, they can be controlled using a remote control or your smartphone via an app.
