Enhance Your Sexual Life Quality Through Kegel Exercises

Kegel exercises are simple, and you can do them anytime, anywhere; however, many women have difficulty doing them correctly or feeling any effects from them at all. This is where the Kegel balls come in handy.

But do you really know how to use Kegel balls correctly?

1. Understanding Kegel Balls

Kegel balls are devices placed that you would insert into your vagina and give exercise to the muscles of the pelvic floor. The materials are quite safe, with a good design. Each ball is attached to a thin retrieval string, with markings on it to indicate how far inside the vagina the ball has been inserted, making it easy and effective to use.

2. The Role of Kegel Balls

Kegel balls are the best equipment for the Kegel exercise. They will help women to feel and properly squeeze their pelvic floor muscles. For example, women who have given birth will find this to be quite beneficial for vaginal laxity. Additionally, it strengthens the pelvic floor muscles that would lead to vaginal tightness. Consistent Kegel exercise may prevent postpartum pelvic floor disorders that include incontinence, sexual dissatisfaction, and prolapse.

3. Types of Kegel Balls

There are two broad sorting types of Kegel balls: one weight has increased from 1 to 5; most importantly, their size remains the same; the other set has progressed in the other direction, both weight and size being graded down from 1 to 5.

Everyone's degree of vaginal laxity varies, so choosing the right Kegel balls for oneself is crucial.

4. Correct Steps for Using Kegel Balls

  1. Preparation Before Use
    Select an appropriate size and lubricate for insertion. Do not use harsh disinfectants for cleaning before the first use to avoid irritation or disruption of normal vaginal flora. Clean with water and allow to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight or hot water contact.
  2. Usage Guide
    To insert the No.1 ball, which is the largest for beginners, lie down or squat and insert it with the rounded end facing forward, leaving 1-2 cm outside the vaginal opening. To feel the ball better, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and with your abdominal and gluteal muscles relaxed. Contracting the vagina and anus will pull the ball upwards.
    Note: If standing makes it difficult to keep the ball in, resume training in a lying position.  If you remain in good standing with the ball for 2-3 days, you can step it up to walking, climbing stairways, coughing, or jumping.  Proceed to the No.2 ball when you can jump and not let the ball drop, then proceed likewise.
  3. Frequency of Use
    Train with each size for at least 2 weeks; do not rush into switching sizes; a training session needs to last 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Post-Use
    To remove the ball, gently pull it out by the string, wash with water, air dry, and store in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight.

  • Do not use during acute phases of vaginitis or urethritis.
  • Avoid if experiencing unexplained allergies.
  • Prohibited during pregnancy.
