Zensation Ben Wa Balls/Surgical Stainless Steel (1" Inch)

I can think of 4 reasons why you may want to try this product. I will categorize my review based on my opinion of its effectiveness in these areas.1. Better orgasms. **5 STARS**This was my purpose for trying the Ben Wa balls and it worked. I already had great orgasms and kegeled regularly but use of this product has markedly intensified my orgasms. They are longer and stronger. I should point out that I have been married and monogamous for a little over 18 years so the change is not due to a new partner. I try to use them for at least 15 minutes twice a day and I purchased them about 6 weeks ago. I started noticing the effect within a month.If you are not having orgasms (either through masturbation or sex), these might also be useful. Just becoming aware of your genitalia and flexing the love muscles (along with some other interventions) can help you find ways to orgasm.2. Incontinence. **2 STARS**I can't comment strongly on this one b/c it is not a problem for me. I am 42 and the mother of 5 children but have never suffered from incontinence. Surely this product would help with that but... if you have incontinence d/t weak PC muscles, these might not be a good place for you to start. You might want to go with a silicone product that is a little lighter and work your way up to stainless steel. If you can't feel your own PC muscles when you try to flex them (you should try this with a finger in your vagina), you will be disappointed in this product.3. Enhancing your partner's sexual experience. **5 STARS**As much as I adore my wonderful husband... this was not even a close second in my reasons for purchasing this product. I mean, everything is just so easy for men. I wasn't too worried about him. HOWEVER, he LOVES the effect and has definitely noticed which, of course, creates this nice reciprocal situation for us. It turns me on that I feel so good to him. It turns him on that I am having mind blowing orgasms. It turns me on that my orgasms turn him on... You see where I am going with this? It is all good.4. Erotic sex play. **2 STARS** but with a disclaimerThis anticipated effect, I believe, comes from the 50 shades phenomenon. Personally, I don't find these little fellas all that stimulating. When you have them in and you are flexing your PCs, you will probably get all warm and wet, but I suspect that is physiologic b/c you are drawing more blood flow to the area to work those muscles. Regular, old, un-enhanced kegeling does the same thing for me. I did get a little turned on but it was mostly b/c working your sex muscles makes you think about sex. The actual balls did not create much stimulation. I've read some other women use them during foreplay and masturbation and that they enhance those experiences. I've done neither yet so can't comment. But, if this is the only reason you are looking to buy the product, I would not get your hopes up too high.A few other pointers. If you never kegel, don't get these. They are stainless steel and slick. You have to have some PC control or these will be "out of your league." Try kegeling regularly first.Make sure you position them just low enough to feel them. Not too high b/c then they just sit up there and you are not working to hold them in. Not too low or they will just fall out (unless you already have supercharged PCs in which case I say: "yea you!"). When you first start using them, set a goal. Like 10 to 15 minutes. Wear loose pants or just your underwear (or go naked if you can). That way, when you feel them coming out, you can push them back. As you feel them slide down, clamp down harder and try to hold them in place. It will get better with time. I do mine in the morning during the shower and while I put on moisturizer etc. afterwards. Then again at night while I am getting ready for bed. I am in the bathroom without kids around to notice that I might be walking funny etc.Just like with anything else... give it some time.

So, these were responsible for a pretty eventful haircut. When the directions suggest not to wear them in public, well, either listen to the directions or wear some pretty tight underwear, ya hear me? It doesn't matter how great you think you are at kegels, two hours in is not a great time to be walking around a public place in a thong!That said, I'm pleased as punch with this purchase regardless. It felt great to realize that the workout IS working (when I got exhausted enough that, well, the falling happened) but you hardly notice them in. Kegels definitely help with the, er, sex things, and these + a good vibrator is a pretty good time even if you don't currently have a partner. The case is cute, too! These easily fit in a purse or pocket and, while the little red embroidered pouch isn't SUBTLE per se, it's cute and, well, could be...contacts? Something? No one's going to ask, and then you're always ready for emergency kegels!Just do be aware that these are very probably not stainless steel! They probably won't last as long as higher quality balls, and you do need to make sure you're keeping them clean, but for under $10, they're definitely a good intro purchase. :)

I bought these thinking they would help to strengthen my pc muscle. My girlfriends said they could feel their muscles contract when the balls were in and that they had a hard time keeping them in while walking. Not so for me. Once in, I don't even notice them and nothing happens contraction wise. I can also walk around with them and not even know they are in there. After discovering I didn't need help in the pc strengthening department I set about trying to find other ways to make use of these balls. ADVICE: Masturbate with these in and your orgasm will be WAY, WAY WAY more intense. At least that was the case for me and made these SO worth it! Having them in during sex didn't seem to increase pleasure for myself or my partner though. All in all lots of ways to try these out and I'm sure you can find a way to make use of them! If nothing else they are fun to experiment with.

I am the mother of 4 children so ladies you know things do in fact change. Order these to strengthen my muscles. This was my first time to ever use something like this so I started off with one ball and had no trouble keeping the one in. Then I tied 2 it was a little harder but over time I can tell the difference and so can my husband. You have to be patient it takes a while before you will notice change.

So, I guess these would have worked if they were the right size, but for me personally I guess I need smaller ones.I was able to put them in with no problem, but they were certainly not in any danger of falling out again (even when I jumped up and down).I got them out (with only a minor struggle) but will need to get smaller ones if they are to serve their intended purpose.

These Ben Wa Balls are slightly larger than they appear in the photos, but no complaints here. They are easy to insert and easy to remove. I have already noticed some increased muscle strength after using them for a few weeks. In the beginning my muscles were too weak to hold them in place, but my body has gotten used to them! Definitely worth the price.

I bought these because I read about them in the 50 shades. I have to admit that it does take some getting used to (it's a lot harder to keep them in after a few kids). Anastasia's previously virgin area was probably a lot tighter than mine. But I bought them more for novelty and I'll keep playing with them. They are more fun than Kegels.

A lot of people tell me they have a hard time keeping these in, but the only time I have difficulty is when I'm laughing really hard or have a terrible coughing fit. I think I'm in need of a heavier set, but not bad for beginners or people looking for a moderate increase in PC muscle strength. They are good for self love time and they did remind me to do my kegels throughout the day. I got fairly good at trying to force them out and then clenching to pull them back up. Not something I'd really recommend for during sex either.
