Shake that Booty & Squeeze those Kegels!

Kegel exercisers are a must for any woman’s collection of adult toys. They’re one of the most practical toys out there, as using them consistently can lead to better intercourse, stronger orgasms, and a healthier sex life. Ophoria currently has two types of kegel balls with shakers in their line of Japanese platinum silicone toys. I’m pretty damn near obsessed with body-friendly toys, and am known for being a texture-slut where my playthings are concerned. Trying their Textured K-Balls N°10 (With Shakers) became a no-brainer when MyPleasure offered them for review.

These pale pink kegel balls (intended for both pleasure and the strengthening of the female PC muscles through vaginal use) have the be the most modern design I’ve seen yet among similar toys from other manufacturers. They’re molded in the shape of a dumbbell (albeit a teeny tiny one), with ridges swirling around the outside of each of the weights, leaving the centerpiece free (just as a dumbbell’s “handle” is unadorned). There’s a silicone pull-string attached for easy retrieval.
The package touts that the K-Balls are:

• Ergonomically designed for maximum pleasure
• Strong stimulation
• Gently rounded for easy insertion
• Hygienic and easy to clean

It also states, “Use water based lubricant for easier insertion. Clean toy after every use. Material is nonporous and can be easily washed with mild soap & water.”

Now, let’s examine those claims. The Textured K-Balls are definitely hygienic. I adore that they’re fashioned out of 100% silicone, are phthalate-free, non-porous & waterproof (of course). Their ridges and swirls make them more of a challenge to clean than their smooth counterparts, but nothing a toothbrush (reserved for sex-toy cleaning, of course!) and a lil’ elbow grease can’t take care of.

These Kegel exercisers definitely do provide a strong stimulation, but the whole “gently rounded for easy insertion” throws me a bit. While I don’t want to be in danger of something pointy gettin’ up close and personal with my cervix, I feel like Ophoria messed up here. The rounded edge makes the K-Balls harder for me to insert, not easier. The pointy side (where the silicone retrieval cord is attached) would be much easier to insert, but alas the design doesn’t provide for that option. By rounding the insertable end, Ophoria made the K-Balls wider than necessary, and for me, personally, wider than comfort allows.

Onto that whole comfort-thing… not feelin’ it here. Not even remotely close. It’s important to note that this silicone is tough-as-nails. It’s not squishy or soft or pliable, except in the center between the two weights. It doesn’t have any give upon insertion, or once inside of you. It’s hard. If I didn’t know that it was silicone, I’d be inclined to believe that it was ABS plastic or something similar. For me, this is a huge negative. Ophoria’s Textured K-Balls N°10 (With Shakers) don’t really fit well inside my pussy. In fact, they feel like they’re tearing my vaginal walls. It’s a battle for me to get the K-Balls inside, even with plenty of water-based lube, and it’s WWIII to get them out.

I’d rather suffer with them in, unpleasant as they are for me, than even think about the pain that they’ll cause on the way out. And this is coming from a masochist, ladies & gents! That said, these make an EXCELLENT torture-device. S&M, anyone? Teehee.

Once inserted, the shakers really do their thing, however, and I adore the sensations that are delivered. It’s gentle vibration that moves while you move, and feels oh-so-delightful. Instantaneous motivation to get up and shake your booty! The more you shake, the more you’re rewarded with pleasure waves. If you own a hula hoop, you gotta hula with this baby inside your pussy. Or belly dance. And don’t forget to squeeze, squeeze, squeeze those Kegels. You won’t be disappointed.

But really, if you’re not into pain, and you’re not especially loose, I wouldn’t recommend these K-Balls to the average woman. If you’ve given birth vaginally, and haven’t done any work to tone your PC muscles, this product may prove helpful. For me, however, I couldn’t even contract my Kegels around the damn thing because it had me so stuffed. (I admit that the shaking still felt divine. But it was an uphill battle to get to that reward!)

If other Kegel exercisers haven’t been wide enough for you, or you’re in the mood for a challenge, check out the Textured K-Balls N°10 (With Shakers) by Ophoria at MyPleasure. And check out MyPleasure’s other sex toys while you’re there!
