About Kegel Balls & Ben Wa Balls
Frequently asked
What is the difference between kegel balls and Ben Wa balls?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but traditionally Ben Wa balls are smaller, solid, and designed for advanced users who can hold them without a retrieval cord. Kegel balls tend to be larger, hollow or weighted, and usually feature a removal string or loop for easier use, making them more beginner-friendly.
How long should I wear kegel balls during exercise?
Beginners typically start with five to ten minutes, two to three times per week. As your pelvic-floor muscles strengthen, you can gradually increase wear time to fifteen or twenty minutes per session. Consistent, short sessions are more effective than prolonged wear when you are starting out.
Can I wear kegel balls all day?
It is not recommended to wear kegel balls for extended periods, especially when starting. Overuse can fatigue pelvic-floor muscles. Stick to focused exercise sessions of ten to twenty minutes, and remove the balls afterward to allow muscles to rest and recover.
Do I need lubricant to insert kegel balls?
Yes, water-based lubricant makes insertion smoother and more comfortable. Apply a small amount to the ball and around the vaginal opening. Avoid silicone-based lubricants with silicone kegel balls, as they can degrade the material over time.
How do I clean kegel balls?
Wash kegel balls before and after every use with warm water and mild, unscented soap or a dedicated toy cleaner. If your balls are waterproof, you can submerge them; otherwise, wipe them thoroughly. Dry completely and store in a clean, dry pouch or case.
Will kegel balls help with bladder control or postpartum recovery?
Regular pelvic-floor exercise with kegel balls can improve muscle tone, which may support bladder control and aid postpartum recovery. However, every body is different—consult a pelvic-floor physiotherapist or healthcare provider for personalised guidance, especially after childbirth or surgery.
