Sex toys. Ben Wa Balls: No, they aren’t a special type of meatball, or something you buy for your cat to play with. Ben Wa Balls are a sex toy that you put into your vagina for increased pleasure not just for you, but for your partner as well.
History. According to Your Tango, Ben Wa Balls have been around for hundreds of years and have been used for the same purposes. However the original balls were made with mercury, which would reportedly cause sensations in the vagina. But because mercury is now illegal, Ben Wa Balls are currently made with plastic, latex, glass, and jade.
How they work. Ben Wa Balls come in all shapes and sizes and are pretty easy to use. You simply insert them into your vagina, and let them sit. Either for a few hours or the entire day. The balls not only help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, but they also turn you on throughout the day. Use them either with or without lube!
Wearing them. As you walk around while wearing them, the balls might slide around or you might feel them jiggle inside of you, reports Your Tango. You can keep them in for as long as you’d like, or until you reach orgasm. Yep— you can climax just by walking around with them in for a few hours. There are even some vibrating balls you can purchase, to make the experience that much better.
Connection. But the good thing about the Ben Wa Balls is, they aren’t just meant for your pleasure alone. In fact, you can use these as a way to connect on a much deeper level with your partner. If you leave the balls inside your vagina during sex, your partner will feel them with his penis, but you’ll also feel them moving around as a result. In just a few minutes, you’ll be writhing in pleasure.
Kegals. According to Your Tango writer Tajahi, this was how she experienced her first vaginal orgasm. And as mentioned before, the balls can also help tighten your Kegal muscles, which could be helpful for women who have recently given birth and are looking for a more fun and creative way to do their exercises.
No harm. "There is no harm in using the balls everyday and with the increased activity in your vagina; you may even experience an increase in your sex drive … I know I did,” writes Tajahi, via Your Tango.
Surprise. Shopping for Ben Wa Balls can also be a fun and sensual experience for you and your partner. You can pick out what size you think would work best for you, and if you really want to make things more exciting, put them in without telling him and let him find that special surprise hidden down there.
Other products. While Ben Wa Balls have been around for centuries, there are other products being touted around the internet that are similar to the balls, yet look a little different and are much, much pricier. Take for example, the jade eggs that everyone seems to be talking about thanks to the queen of overpriced sex toys, Gwyneth Paltrow.
Recommendation. In one of her recent Goop articles, Gwyneth nonchalantly recommends the jade eggs to her fellow readers. And if you aren’t familiar, Goop is essentially Gwyneth’s personal diary, where she discusses the jade eggs, juice cleanses, $300 yoga pants, and brags about how she gets to sleep in until noon everyday.
Benefits. The jade eggs are supposed to have an array of benefits, including helping you have a better orgasm by “cultivating your sexual energy” and other things that sound like she’s referring to a sex toy straight out of Star Wars. The eggs are also supposed to strengthen your Kegel muscles and even helping you give birth much easier.
False. However, as much as Gwyneth loves to pretend she knows everything she’s talking about, let’s be real here— she doesn’t. Shortly after her advocacy for these alien eggs, several experts came out saying these eggs are far from same and should absolutely under no circumstances be inserted into your vagina.
No proof. “There are no studies or evidence to show that jade eggs help with orgasms, vaginal muscle tone or hormonal balance. Jade does not result in hormonal changes even when inserted in the vagina,” Dr. Leena Nathan told Fox News.
Stick to the balls. So there you have it. It turns out celebrities aren’t always right about everything! If you’re going to insert anything into your vagina that isn’t a tampon, a penis, or a vibrator, make sure it’s a Ben Wa Ball! At least there’s years of history that back up the fact that they’re almost guaranteed to give you an orgasm.
You. Would you ever try Ben Wa Balls? Why or why not? Let us know what you thought!
