Let’s talk about an ancient secret that’s been rolling around for centuries - literally. Kegel balls, known by a whole host of enticing names like love eggs, geisha balls, ben wa balls, jiggle balls… (take your pick) have been delighting and strengthening pelvic floors since the days of dynasties. What started as a way to enhance intimacy soon became a game-changer for women, blending pleasure with practical perks like stronger muscles and, well, stronger orgasms.
So, whether you're here for the fitness benefits, the fun, or a little bit of both, let’s dive into the wonderful world of Kegel balls - because why not turn your workout into pleasure!
Kegel balls have fans and critics in equal measure. Some women & vulva owners swear to be able to orgasm whilst dashing for the bus. Others find they use kegel balls and nothing exciting happens - it's about as stimulating as a tampon (they can't feel anything).
Inside the outer shells are small weights, and herein lies the magic. As you walk, run or dance, the small weights twirl inside their shells, moving around as you do. This internal twirling provides teasing, massaging sensations and an arousing reminder of their presence - this is the most important thing to remember. Kegel balls require movements to be stimulating - they are not toys to lie back and enjoy.
The 3 Main Effects of Kegel Balls
- The constant small twirling of kegel balls builds a slow-burning arousal.
- Your PC muscles naturally contract to keep a grip on the balls, building strength and control. A strong PC muscle means more intense orgasms - a bonus!
- Wearing a pair of Ben Wa balls during penetrative sex can deliver extra sensations and stimulation for both partners.
Which Kegel Balls Should You Choose?
If you're just starting, bigger is better - larger Kegel balls are easier to keep in place and harder to ignore (in the best way possible). As your pelvic floor muscles get stronger, you can graduate to smaller, heavier balls, giving your PC muscles a real workout. Think of it as levelling up in a very intimate gym.
Kegel balls are often a solo pleasure, but who says you can’t bring a partner into the mix? For an extra thrill, try using a petite set of Ben Wa balls. Simply lube them up, slip them in, and let the sensual rolling enhance the experience. But fair warning - things might heat up faster than expected!
And if you’re worried about Ben Wa balls playing hide-and-seek, don’t be. These little dynamos may not have a retrieval cord, but they're heavy enough that they won’t go wandering. When you're ready to remove them, just relax, let gravity do its thing, and enjoy the afterglow of a well-spent workout.
How to Insert Kegel Balls
A little lube goes a long way when inserting your Kegel balls - but be warned, the slicker they go in, the slipperier they might try to slip out! Start by lying down, bending one leg, and gently popping them inside, one at a time. Most sets come with a handy retrieval cord, but some feature just a single ball.
Once they’re in place, take a moment to squeeze your PC muscle around them - you might even feel inspired to add a clitoral vibrator to the mix (because why not?). But the real fun begins when you stand up. Moving around with your little secret tucked inside can turn even the most mundane tasks into a tantalizing thrill.
With practice, you’ll be confident enough to wear them throughout the day, adding an extra spark to everything from grocery shopping to board meetings. Speaking of which, we’ll never forget the three high-powered execs who popped into Sh! for Kegel balls to spice up their afternoon strategy session - ladies, we salute you!
That said, make sure you’ve mastered your grip before venturing too far. Otherwise, you might end up chasing a rogue Kegel ball down the frozen aisle at Tesco…

Sh! Love Cherries is a 3-piece PC exercise set with weighted balls. The pale lilac ball is the lightest in weight, so the best one to start with. Once this ball becomes 'too easy,' it's time to step it up. The medium-weight ball is heavier and tricker to keep in. Once the medium ball feels easy, it's time to level up to the dark purple ball - very heavy at 85g!
Use Kegel Balls for PC Muscle Exercise
Feeling Kegel balls nestled inside your vagina makes you more aware of the squeeze-and-release action needed to strengthen your PC muscles. And the best part? A toned pelvic floor doesn’t just mean better bladder control - it can also lead to longer, stronger, and more toe-curling orgasms. Talk about a workout with benefits!
Thousands of women have embraced Kegel balls, discovering both the pleasurable sensations they offer and the pelvic power they build along the way. The result? Easier, more intense orgasms - a true win-win situation!
To get started, a simple squeeze-and-relax routine will do the trick. But if you’re ready to level up to a full vaginal boot camp (yes, that’s a thing), check out our PC muscle exercise guide for more advanced techniques. Your future orgasms will thank you!
