Frequently asked questions
Kegel exercises are targeted contractions of your pelvic floor muscles – the muscles you use to stop the flow of urine. While you can perform Kegels without any tools, Kegel balls (small, weighted devices) act as an internal weight. They give your muscles something to grip onto, providing resistance and activating the pelvic floor more effectively than free contraction. This ensures you are targeting the correct muscles for better, faster results!
Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles is crucial for your core stability and health, and it pays major dividends in the bedroom! Regular use of Kegel balls can lead to tighter vaginal muscles, which means more intense orgasms, improved sensation for both partners, and better bladder health (especially after childbirth). Get stronger, get sexier!
Insertion is easy, especially with a little lube! First, ensure the balls and the retrieval cord are completely clean. Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the balls. While lying down or standing with one foot on a chair, gently push them into the vagina. The balls should not go all the way up! Position them just inside the vaginal entrance, leaving the retrieval cord hanging outside. Once comfortably inside, engage your pelvic floor muscles (like stopping the flow of urine) to hold them in place. Start by wearing them for 15 minutes while walking around. Keep them low for maximum effect!
Consistency is key! Most experts recommend aiming for 15 minutes per day, 3 to 5 times per week. This is a marathon, not a sprint! As your muscles get stronger, you can gradually increase the wear time or move up to a heavier or smaller ball size to provide a satisfying new challenge. You should typically start noticing improved muscle tone and better sensation within just a few weeks of staying consistent. Stay dedicated and feel the difference!
After every single use, clean your Kegel balls immediately with a dedicated sex toy cleaner or mild soap and warm water. Ensure you pay extra attention to the retrieval cord and any seams where moisture could linger. Rinse them thoroughly, pat them completely dry with a lint-free cloth, and store them in a cool, dry place. Keep your wellness routine fresh and clean!
