Vaginal balls

‍

Vaginal balls, also known as vaginal exercisers or gay balls, are small balls or multiple ball designs designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, improve intimate health and increase sexual pleasure. Their history dates back to ancient times, where they were used for pleasure and to exercise intimate muscles.

Historical Context

The history of vaginal balls begins in Asia, where they were used to improve sexual health and pleasure, and in ancient Japan they were called “love balls” or “pleasure balls.”, which were made of wood, metal, and even ceramics. Their main purpose was to exercise the intimate muscles for the pleasure of the partner and to keep the woman healthy.

With the development of medicine, their use has expanded; now vaginal balls are considered not only a means for sexual pleasure, but also a tool for restoring muscle tone after childbirth, preventing age-related changes and improving the quality of life.

Design and materials

Modern vaginal balls are diverse in shape, size, weight and materials. The design of most models includes one or more balls connected by a cord for easy removal. Some versions have a second, heavier ball inside the outer ball, which creates vibration as it moves.

Materials range from light and soft to heavy and rigid. For example:

• Silicone: the most popular material, known for being soft and hypoallergenic. It is suitable for most users, especially beginners.
• Metal: heavier and sturdier, designed for advanced users who want to increase the load.
• Glass: aesthetically pleasing material, easy to sterilize, but requires care.
• Plastic (ABS): often used for budget models, strong and lightweight.

Principles of operation

The main principle of vaginal balls is the stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles; since when the balls are inside the vagina, the muscles automatically tense up to hold them in place. This creates a natural exercise-like workout. If the balls have an internal ball, it adds vibration, stimulating blood circulation and enhancing the effect.

Main benefits

Strengthen pelvic floor muscles

As we age, after pregnancy, or for other reasons, pelvic floor muscles can weaken; this can lead to problems such as urinary incontinence, decreased sexual pleasure and posture issues. In this sense, regular exercise with vaginal balls helps to:

• Strengthen the muscles that support the pelvic organs.
• Improve urinary control.
• Prevent or reverse the effects of age-related changes.

Improve sex life

Strengthening the vaginal muscles can have a significant impact on your sex life. A woman gains more control over her intimate muscles, which increases sensation for both her and her partner. In addition, improved blood circulation in the pelvic area increases sensitivity.

Prevention and recovery after childbirth

Vaginal balls are recommended for women in the postpartum period to regain muscle tone. They also help prepare the muscles for childbirth, making them more elastic and stronger.

Prevention of age-related changes

As we age, the pelvic floor muscles lose elasticity. This can affect your health and overall well-being. Regular exercise can keep them toned, preventing many of the problems associated with menopause.

Preparation for use

Before you start, it is important to properly prepare the balls: First, they should be thoroughly washed with warm water and mild soap or a special product for intimate hygiene. If the balls are used for the first time, it is recommended to additionally treat them with an antiseptic, since this will help to avoid the risk of infections.

For insertion, you can use a water-based lubricant to make the process more comfortable. It is important to note that silicone lubricants should not be used, as they can damage the surface of silicone balls.

How to use vaginal balls

First, choose a comfortable position: lying on your back, sitting or standing with your body slightly tilted forward. Then, gently insert the balls into the vagina, leaving the string outside. For beginners, it is recommended to use the balls for no more than 10-15 minutes a day, gradually increasing the duration.

During use, you can perform Kegel exercises: tense and relax the pelvic floor muscles. This will enhance the effect and accelerate the achievement of results.

Care of vaginal balls

Care of the balls is very important to maintain hygiene; therefore, after each use, they should be washed thoroughly and then dried. It is recommended to store them in a dry place, protected from dust, for example, in a special bag. Do not use damaged balls, as this can lead to injury.

Contraindications

Despite the safety of vaginal balls, there are situations when their use may be undesirable:

• Infections or inflammations of the genitourinary system.
• Recent surgical interventions.
• Pregnancy (only after consulting a doctor).
• Use during menstruation, as this increases the risk of infection.

Before you start using, especially if you have chronic diseases, it is better to consult a doctor.
