How to choose kegel balls
Kegel balls are small weighted balls worn internally. Many people use them as part of their pelvic floor exercises, gently holding them in place to give the muscles something to work against. They're not a medical treatment, and if you're pregnant, postpartum, or have pelvic pain or prolapse, speak to your GP or a pelvic health physiotherapist before using them.
Weighted kegel balls or love eggs?
Kegel balls (also called pelvic floor balls or ben wa balls) are about weight and gentle movement. Love eggs usually means a vibrating egg worn internally, often with a remote, and is mostly about pleasure. Here, the Party Color BOLY Kegel Training Beads and Adrien Lastic Harmony Stones are weighted sets, while the MINA and Tabooboo love eggs vibrate.
Weights
Start with the lightest weight you can comfortably hold, then move up gradually over weeks rather than days. Sets with interchangeable weights, such as the Adrien Lastic Harmony Stones with six weights and two silicone cases, let you progress without buying again.
Single or double?
A single ball is often easier for beginners. Double balls are joined together and add more movement. Whichever you choose, look for a body made in one piece with a retrieval cord, rather than loose traditional ben wa balls.
How to use them
Use a little water-based lube, insert while lying down, and start with short sessions of a few minutes. Stop if you feel any pain or discomfort. Remove them by gently pulling the cord.
Material and cleaning
Silicone is easy to keep clean; check each product page for materials. Wash before and after every use with warm water and unscented soap or a toy cleaner, dry fully, and store separately.
Prefer vibration? See our remote vibrators for more wearable love eggs, and pick up a water-based lubricant for comfortable insertion.
