The 5 Best Kegel Balls

Why I Chose It

For me, the Lelo Luna Beads are a surefire winner in the world of kegel balls. They’re great for beginners and more experienced users alike, thanks to the two sets of differently-weighted balls and the soft, silicone sheath. While the vagina does have a natural end to it, it’s nice to have the balls contained in a sleeve, rather than having to root around up there! The pull cord also makes it totally stress-free to remove them once you’re done.

The pink balls are only 1oz each, which is a perfect starter weight. The blue balls are a little heavier, but will still be manageable to most. Vern, who tested out the Lelo Beads, said that “even though I couldn’t feel them as much, I was still getting super aroused, especially with the heavier blue balls“. These aren’t designed to be very noticeable as you wear them, but there’s a subtle stimulation there that can really get you turned on! Many people, including myself, can rarely orgasm from internal stimulation alone anyway, so think of this a fun way to warm up.

One complaint that Vern did have is that they “look a little cheap and feel a little fragile“. I’m inclined to agree with them, especially considering how luxurious and well-designed other Lelo toys are. However, Vern also found the balls deceptively high-quality and sturdy. While they may look like they came out of a gachapon machine, they certainly don’t feel like it!

Why I Chose It

Isn’t there something just so appealing about shiny steel sex toys? I definitely can’t resist them, anyway!

Weighing in at a collective 3oz, the Inner Goddess Mini Pleasure Balls from the Fifty Shades of Grey range aren’t the lightest option on this list, but should be manageable for intermediate kegel ball users. Cinnamon gave them a go and loved the “ultra-polished metal balls that glide smoothly with proper lubrication“. Make sure to use them with a generous amount of water-based lube to achieve the ultimate glide!

Despite being made from 100% stainless steel, these balls are connected with a silicone cord that also functions as a pull cord. To make removal even easier, there’s a metal tab at the end that you can hook a finger into.

While she didn’t notice a huge difference in her pelvic floor strength, she really enjoyed using them as a warm-up before playtime with her partner. Her favorite way to use them is to “wear them for a while, and as I sit down, I move ever so slightly to allow the balls to press on my g-spot discreetly“.

Why I Chose It

Plain kegel balls can be fun, but if you’re looking to create a regular pelvic floor workout, the kGoal Classic Kegel Trainer is my top pick. Flora tested it out, and was a big fan of the innovative ‘air pillow’ design that “felt strong, yet flexible“. You can deflate it down to 1.5 inches in diameter, and then inflate it to a snug fit once it’s inside. This, along with its 360º pressure sensor, allows the kGoal to give incredibly sensitive data readouts, which is important if you want to actually improve your performance.

Using the kGoal app, you can explore six different games that help you develop your Kegel strength and control. Flora found the app “easy to understand and fun to use“, and her favorites were the Blocks and Shapes games. It also has a ‘custom workout’ option that allows a physical therapist or doctor to create a personalized plan for you — this is another thing that makes me feel like the kGoal is a real, useful tool and not just a gimmicky toy.

One standout feature that I love about the kGoal Classic is how it uses vibrations as a biofeedback tool. It has an external arm for clitoral vibrations, and an internal motor as well. They allow you to actually feel how well you’re doing, though, as Flora found, it “tantalizing pleasure” too!

So, did it actually work for our tester? Let’s see what Flora had to say: “I have gained more control over my Kegels… not to mention, my climaxes have become noticeably more intense!“

While I have also mentioned another app-controlled Kegel exerciser in this review, I thought the Elvie also needed a mention for its stellar app! Similar to the kGoal, the Elvie uses gamified workouts to help you work out your pelvic floor, and uses some vibrations as feedback. There are 6 games to train different skills: Strength, Lift, Pulse, Hold, Speed and Step. You can choose between maintaining pelvic floor fitness, building strength or challenging yourself, which dictates how often you should train.

Isabelle tested it out and found that it was “incredibly easy to connect to the app and it took just a few minutes to get started with the training exercises“. I love an approachable app, especially since not everyone is super tech-savvy!

One feature that caught my eye is the Elvie’s patented tilt technology, which is supposed to detect whether you’re pushing down your muscles instead of pulling up. However, Isabelle did find that “I could also squeezing other muscles aside from just my pelvic floor and it was registered as a successful exercise“, so their promises may not always live up to reality there. Even so, she mentioned that “I did see some improvements on my scores, and… I was getting more used to performing the pulse actions“, though the best part was a “more general awareness of my pelvic floor muscles“. That’s a win in my book!

Why I Chose It

“When I took the yoni eggs out of the box, I was instantly enchanted by the beauty of the swirling colors and just how smooth and lovely they felt to hold.”

It’s not hard to fall in love with these crystal yoni eggs just by looking at them! For anyone who is interested in exploring the spiritual side of sex, I believe the Le Wand Yoni Eggs are a fantastic product to try. Made from solid rose quartz or black obsidian, these weighty eggs are high-quality tools that you use for meditation or simply enjoying the sensations they bring. They can be used with or without the accompanying silicone sleeve, but I recommend using it for easy removal.

Our tester Isabelle found that “the egg itself doesn’t create a much sensation“, since it doesn’t vibrate or move around, but that “it did help my set my intention and really tune into the fine sensations in my body“. She really loved using them as a part of her meditation practice, which is the perfect way to enjoy these little eggs. However, if you want a toy for more of a Kegel workout, you might find it difficult, since you likely won’t be able to fully relax your muscles in between contractions.

At 1.8oz, I wouldn’t say they are particularly beginner-friendly. You could use them one at a time, but then you will either have one empty pocket in the silicone sleeve, or you can forgo the sleeve and have to retrieve the egg with your fingers.
