How To Use Kegel Balls

Kegel balls have been used for a long time for strengthening pelvic and vaginal muscles. The balls come in a set of different weights and sizes. Apart from strengthening the pelvic floor, Kegel balls offer sexual pleasure. For that reason, some names used to refer to Kegel balls include Venus balls, geisha balls, pleasure balls love balls, and jiggle balls.

Who Are Eligible to Use Kegel Balls?

Like any other type of exercise, Kegels also bears risks that include tearing, pain, and over-exertion. The simplest way to minimize the risks is by making sure you use the right size, technique, and weight.

Even though reading the package of the Kegel ball will help, you should check with your physician too.  They will offer advice and directions related to your needs. Check with your physician before using Kegel balls if:

• You are recovering after delivery or pregnant
• You have pelvic pain or infection
• Use menstrual cup
• You are recovering from surgery i.e., gynecological
• You have an intrauterine device

In the case of the above conditions, you are at risk of experiencing discomfort and pain when using a Kegel ball for training.

Preparation Of Kegel Balls

• Use antibacterial soap and wash your hands thoroughly.
• Use warm water and mild antibacterial soap to clean the Kegel ball.
• Apply a generous amount of sex lube to the Kegel balls for easy penetration.

How To Inset Kegel Ball in The Vagina

After the preparation of the Kegel ball, the real fun begins. Ensure that you apply some lube oil at the vaginal entrance before setting yourself in position. That will aid in reducing the risk of pain and discomfort during penetration.

After application of sex lube oil:

• Lie down in a position known as 'spread eagle' or any other that you will feel comfortable with.
• Insert first Kegel ball steadily and slowly.
• Most Kegel balls are connected using a thin threadlike cord so, it should be slipped in as well.
• Once the threadlike cord is inside the vagina, start inserting the second Kegel ball as you did with the first ball.
• After that, push the balls further until the place you will be comfortable. The loop or retrieval cord should be loosely outside the vagina. Be careful not to let the cord slip inside the vagina with the balls.
• Tighten the pelvic muscles so that you hold the Kegel balls in position inside the vagina. Leave it there and continue with your chores.

The balls must feel secure inside the vagina. If you feel that they are going to fall, push them deeper into the vagina using your fingers. The feeling is different varying from person to person. The common feeling felt by most people is the tingling sensation. The feeling intensifies with every movement such as bending, reaching up, or walking. Once you feel comfortable, you can increase the feeling by using individual Kegel balls. The method of insertion is the same as the one above.

What Are You Supposed to Do Once the Balls Are Slipped Inside?

What you do after inserting the Kegel balls is dependent on the reason you are using them. For instance, targeted exercise will help you train for strengthening pelvic muscles. For experimenting, you will put less focus on training and concentrate on individual sex exploration.

For Strengthening the Pelvic Muscles

Once you feel comfortable with simple Kegels inside, consider using weighted balls. That is because they will enhance your exercise by adding challenges. For the addition of Kegel balls to your daily routine, do the following:

• Lie on your back as usual. Spread your legs and insert lubed balls inside.
• Tighten up the pelvic muscles for lifting and squeezing the Kegel balls.
• Pause on the contraction for about five seconds then, relax for the same time frame too.
• The step above should be completed five times in a row to finish a set.
• You can perform up to three sets in a day.

For Sexual Pleasure

Kegel balls are not used like traditional balls. Even though moving the rhythmically in and out is an option, it is tough to leave them inside. They will trigger the sensations regardless of what you are doing. Whether it is exploring other erogenous zones or rubbing the clitoris. There are two ways how to use pleasure balls for solo play. That is,

• While lying in the bed, slip the Kegel balls into the vagina and squeeze the pelvic muscles.  Start exploring your body as you self-lubricate.
• Insert the Kegel balls then, use a wand vibrator to rub it against the clitoris as you continue squeezing the Kegel balls. Also, caress the vaginal opening and experience the sensations.

For Partnered Play

Kegels offers a better way of heating things between partners during sex. You can insert the Kegel balls before going out on a date. Also, you can foreplay by inserting the Kegel balls first. The longer the Kegel balls stay in the vagina, the more you get aroused.

The Bottom Line

Not only are Kegel balls used for training but also for sexual pleasures. Anal penetration may push the balls against the G-spot. That results in intense sensations all over the body. Kegel balls for training can be left in the vagina for as long as you want. After usage, Kegel balls should be cleaned properly, wiped, and then stored in a safe place. That will prevent it from transmitting bacteria from the vagina, reducing the risk of infection. To avoid the risk of injuries, Kegels should only be squeezed and relaxed for 5 seconds each. The longer you squeeze the more you overexert the vaginal muscles. That may lead to tearing or any other form of discomfort.
