Kegel Balls: Your Secret Weapon for Better Intimacy and Pelvic Health
Share
Hey, beautiful souls!
Today, let’s talk about a topic every woman needs to know about: Kegel balls. Also known as Ben Wa balls, these little wonders have been around for centuries, but if they’re not already part of your self-care routine, you’re missing out! Whether you’re looking to boost your pelvic health, recover after childbirth, or take your sex life to the next level, Kegel balls are here to help.
So, let’s dive into why you should start using them right now—and, of course, how to use them like a pro.
Why Kegel Exercises Are a Must
Kegel exercises with these magical little weights are essentially a gym for your pelvic floor muscles. Here’s what makes them so life-changing:
1. Improved Intimacy: Stronger pelvic muscles = better orgasms. It’s science, babe! You’ll feel more sensation during sex, and your partner will, too.
2. Postpartum Recovery: After childbirth, Kegel balls can help restore your pelvic tone and get everything feeling tighter again.
3. Preventative Health: Regular Kegel exercises can reduce the risk of vaginal prolapse, urinary incontinence, and even postpone menopause symptoms.
4. Better Blood Circulation: Improved circulation in your pelvic area increases sensitivity and reduces dryness.
5. Impressive Techniques: With a toned pelvic floor, you can master advanced bedroom moves like the “vacuum technique” (holding your partner inside you with your muscles).
Getting Started with Kegel Balls
1. Preparation Is Key
• Wash your Kegel balls with warm water and soap.
• Apply a water-based lube for smooth insertion.
• Pee before starting (you’ll thank me later).
2. Insertion Tips
• Lie down in a comfortable position.
• Slowly insert the first ball, followed by the second. Push them in as far as feels comfortable, leaving the string outside for easy removal.
How to Use Kegel Balls
Step 1: Find Your Balance
Start by standing up and simply holding the balls inside you. Gravity will make this a challenge, but that’s the point—it’s how you build strength!
Step 2: Squeeze and Hold
• Contract your pelvic muscles as if you’re trying to stop the flow of urine.
• Hold the tension for 2-5 seconds, then release. Repeat this for 3 sets of 15 reps.
Step 3: Get Moving
Once you’re comfortable, try walking, showering, or even cleaning the house with the balls inside. The more you move, the more effective your workout.
Step 4: Level Up
• As you get stronger, experiment with squeezing the balls in different sections of your vagina.
• Progress to advanced techniques like quick squeezes, deep breathing contractions, and even glute bridges for a full-body workout.
Advanced Tips for the Overachievers
1. Weighted Sets: Start light and work your way up. Many sets, like the ones from Svakom, include progressive weights to help you level up month by month.
2. Mix It Up: Incorporate Kegel exercises into your gym or Pilates routine for even better results.
3. Make It a Habit: Consistency is key! Aim for 4-5 sessions a week to see noticeable improvements in just a month.
Removing the Balls
When you’re done, lie down and gently pull on the removal string. If they don’t come out right away, relax and add a little more lube. It’s all about staying calm and comfortable.
The Results You’ll Love
After just a few weeks of consistent use, you’ll notice:
• Better control and tone in your pelvic floor.
• Enhanced sensation during intimacy.
• A newfound confidence in your body.
