Tit-illating Tuesday -Reveiw Duotone Smartballs by Fun Factory & Kegels

Published May 25, 2010 |

Welcome To Tit-illating Tuesdays!

Usually I ask any family members to stop reading now, because my reviews get very raunchy… sexual… personal. But today’s review isn’t just about sex or sexuality. It’s mostly about health. And if you’re like me, and have LBL, Light Bladder Leakage, then this little review may even be helpful! So go ahead and read on. I am going to be getting “personal” but not like my usual Tuesday!

Fun Factory’s Duotone Smartballs

I received a pair of these great little balls from Good Vibrations, a great little sex toy shop that is both online and off line in San Francisco. They asked me to review them for you here on my blog. I’ve tried benwa balls previously, but was never really very comfortable with them. I was mostly worried that they’d get stuck somewhere that I couldn’t get to and then have to make some embarrassing trip to the hospital to get them removed. LOL! That’s one way these little balls are different than some. The Fun Factory Duotone Smartballs have a nice long, strong string attached to the end of them, so they aren’t going to get lost anywhere. I know, kind of a silly worry, but hey… I know I”m not alone in that! hehe.

The Fun Factory Duotone Smartballs come in a variety of colors, but most importantly they are made of Elastomer that is both strong and soft. This makes them very comfortable and easy to insert. There are two balls linked together by a small Elastomer line and within each big ball is a smaller ball that rattles and rolls around inside them. This movement within the bigger balls causes a nice little sensation inside you to not only give you pleasure but to remember to do your kegels!

The main reason for using the Smartballs isn’t for the pleasure, even though they do give you some constant subtle pleasure… the main reason you use these balls is for the exercises. Think of them as a treadmill for your vagina! Wait… maybe treadmill isn’t the right analogy! A Bowflex for your Vagina! That’s it, these things are the Bowflex for your Vagina! LOL! Because what they do is help you to exercise and strengthen your pelvic wall muscles. The reason you want to strengthen those muscles is to help keep you from having too many bladder leakage problems.

This is how you use them.

Insert the smart balls into your vagina, much like you would a tampon. Make sure they are in nice and secure without them sticking out.
Then start squeezing your vagina muscles around the balls. Try to hold your muscles tight around the balls for a count of three, and then relax them for a count of three.
Do 10 reps like this every day.

Once you get strong enough, you can start doing more repetitions like this. Your ultimate goal is to be able to do a few hundred of these reps a day (not necessarily at one “sitting”). This will not only increase the strength of your vaginal walls, but it will increase your orgasms as well! All of this will help to keep your LBL in check, make sex a little more fun AND for the pregnant women (or those wanting to become pregnant) it will help tremendously during labor & delivery!

I like the Fun Factory Duotone Smartballs. They are very easy to insert and to pull back out. They are comfortable to wear for a little while at least. I did start to feel uncomfortable after wearing them for more than 20 minutes. I’m not sure if that’s something peculiar to my own body or just in general, though. Overall I would say these are very good to use to help with your Kegel exercises! I know I need to do more Kegels and these will not only help me to make them more effective, but they will make it a little more pleasurable as well!

The one thing to remember is that these balls are not specifically for pleasuring yourself. The movement of the small ball inside the larger ones, doesn’t make a strong vibration. The movement is very subtle and gives you a little pleasure, but not the intense pleasure one might need to actually orgasm. It’s just pleasant…. that’s the best word to describe it. A Pleasant feeling… not strong.

I would recommend the Fun Factory Duotone Smartballs to any woman who wanted to strengthen her pelvic walls, for whatever reason you might have. I think they will definitely help and become a regular part of my daily routine. Plus they will keep me a little horny through the day as well. LOL! Which who can’t stand for a little more of that every day! hehe
