Why People Like Them
People like vaginal balls for several reasons, depending on the use for which they were purchased.
Pelvic Floor Training
Strong pelvic floor muscles may make sex better for both women and their partners. During heterosexual intercourse, a womanโs ability to contract around her partner can intensify his sensations. Increasing blood flow to the area and making it easier to contract the muscles may also make sex more enjoyable for a woman.
In addition, aging, childbirth, and obesity can all weaken these muscles and lead to incontinence. Training these muscles can help you prevent potentially embarrassing urine leaks. Vaginal balls arenโt necessary for these exercises, but they can help focus these exercises or provide an alternative.
โ
Insert them, holding them in place for several minutes as you move about naturally.
โ
Perform kegel exercises around them.
Vaginal balls may be used on their own or with other sex aids. Most people find that they can heighten awareness, arousal, and sensation when left inside or moved gently.
Difference Between Vaginal Balls and Anal Beads
Vaginal balls can be used safely by most people with vaginas. However, they should never be used in the anus where they can fall too far into the colon.
Anal beads are a sex toy with multiple small balls attached together in a row. Both men and women can insert and remove anal beads from their rectum for pleasure.
