Ben Wa Balls

What Are They?

Legend has it that women in ancient Japan or China first inserted egg-shaped hollow balls carved from ivory, then spent hours gently rocking back and forth, eventually experiencing a subtle-yet-crashing orgasm. Today, Ben Wa Balls are made from a variety of substances, including gold plating, silver, steel, plastic, Lucite and any combination thereof.

Because they are made from hard, non-porous substances, Ben Wa Balls don't absorb bacteria--so you can use them longer than other sex toys. Some women claim they wear them all day, experiencing clandestine fun at the office, the grocery store...even on dates. Other women enjoy using them for partner sex, and say their male partners love encountering the smooth balls during penetration. However, some women say the toys are little more than useless, producing a sensation so slight, they may as well not be using the balls at all.

While many Ben Wa novices express alarm at the thought of inserting and removing the balls, it's relatively simple: just pop them in and squeeze them out. You may want to experiment with location; some people enjoy holding them lower in the vagina, while others try to position them directly behind their G-Spots. Just don't aim for the cervix--while you're unlikely to have a problem with them slipping past your body's gateway to the uterus, you probably won't enjoy any kind of clanging sensation that close to your cervix, a region some women find particularly sensitive.

"Legend has it that oriental women were the first to discover Ben Wa Balls. They inserted these balls into their vaginas and then rocked back and forth to achieve orgasm. Don't confuse Ben Wa Balls with Duotone Balls - the difference is Ben Wa Balls are just two large round bearing shaped balls (usually about 3/4" in diameter) that are inserted into the vagina. Dutone balls are balls inside balls and are much more likely to create internal stimulation. Where Ben Wa Balls seems to work best is in strengthing the bladder and tightening the walls of the vagina. This can be done by simply inserting and holding them in place for about 15 minutes a day. It is also reported that inserting them in the front of the vagina and wearing them daily helps to achieve "G-Spot" orgasm. "
