If you’ve ever wondered what Kegel balls are, you’re not alone. These compact, weighted spheres are specifically designed to be inserted into and held for a period of time in the vagina, where they help tone and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Typically made from smooth materials such as silicone, glass, or metal, Kegel balls are comfortable to use and easy to clean. Their primary purpose is to provide resistance during muscle contractions, making Kegel ball exercises more effective over time. When you hold them in place using your pelvic muscles, you’re essentially giving those internal muscles a workout.
While the concept is simple, the effects can be profound; particularly for women looking to regain strength after childbirth, enhance sexual sensations, or maintain bladder control. With consistent use, Kegel balls for women and people with vaginas can become a valuable part of everyday wellness. They are a discreet, non-invasive way to take a proactive approach to intimate health, and their sleek designs allow them to be used without interfering with daily routines.
How to Use Kegel Balls Safely
Learning how to use Kegel balls safely is essential for a positive and beneficial experience. To start, it’s important to wash your hands and clean the toy thoroughly with an unscented soap or dedicated toy cleaner before and after each use to maintain hygiene.
Applying a water-based lubricant can make insertion easier and more comfortable, especially for beginners. Gently insert the Kegel ball while standing or lying down, then engage your pelvic muscles to hold it in place. For those new to Kegel ball exercises, it’s wise to begin with lighter weights and short timeframes, gradually building up as your strength improves. It’s also crucial to pay attention to your body, if you feel discomfort, remove the toy immediately and allow your muscles to rest. Never force the toy into place or leave it in for longer than the recommended duration. Women who are pregnant, recently post-partum, or recovering from pelvic surgery should always consult a healthcare professional before starting a routine with Kegel toys.
Once finished, carefully remove the Kegel ball, wash it, and store it in a clean, dry space. Following these steps ensures a safe and effective experience every time.
Benefits of Kegel Exercises
The benefits of incorporating Kegel ball exercises into your lifestyle are wide-ranging and well-documented. One of the most well-known advantages is the strengthening of pelvic floor muscles, which play a crucial role in bladder control, core stability, and sexual function. For women experiencing leaks from coughing, sneezing, or jumping, regular use of Kegel balls for women and people with vaginas can lead to noticeable improvements in continence.
Beyond the physical health aspects, many women find that Kegel toys help them feel more in tune with their bodies, increasing both confidence and pleasure during sex. Strengthened muscles can enhance arousal and lead to more intense orgasms, making these exercises a win-win for both health and satisfaction. Not only that, but postnatal women often turn to Kegel toys as part of their recovery process, helping to repair muscle tone lost during pregnancy and childbirth.
The act of committing to a regular pelvic floor routine also creates a moment of self-care, allowing women to focus on their wellness in a deeply personal way. To find out more about the benefits of using kegel balls, check out our ‘Why You Should Do Kegels’ blog.
When to Use Kegel Balls
Understanding when and how often to use Kegel balls is just as important as using them correctly. The best time to use a Kegel toy is when your body is relaxed and you can dedicate a few moments to yourself, whether that’s in the morning as part of your self-care routine, during quiet housework, or while doing gentle movements like walking or yoga. However, it’s essential to ensure your pelvic muscles are not overworked; rest days are just as important as active training days to allow for recovery and muscle growth. Kegel balls for women and people with vaginas are especially beneficial during post-partum recovery, menopause, or following periods of reduced pelvic engagement, such as after long-term illness or inactivity. Women who are preparing for childbirth may also use Kegel balls with guidance to support muscle control during delivery.
On the other hand, it’s best to avoid using Kegel toys during your menstrual cycle, if you’re experiencing a vaginal infection, or if you have any kind of pelvic pain. As with any form of exercise, listening to your body is the key to success and long-term benefit.
