Ahead of the Curve: Ben Wa Balls & Beads for Better Pleasure

To the average person, a first glance a Ben Wa Ball or Kegel Ball may leave you with a lot of questions. There’s no need to scratch your head, the functionality and purpose of Ben Wa Balls is actually quite simple-they’re mini intimacy trainers. They can be used during foreplay, for orgasm strength training, or both. 

To break it down, Ben Wa Balls and Kegel Balls contain smaller balls within their shell which vibrate with the movement of your body and cause the vaginal muscles to engage. If you’ve ever heard of Kegel exercises, Ben Wa Balls hit the nail on the head, but with a sexy twist. Many women find using Ben Wa Balls, Beads and Bullets an arousing way to practice Kegels. Confused yet? Let’s take a look at the differences through LELO products.

HULA Beads review

If you thought sextech couldn’t take it another step further, we did. HULA Beads are similar to LELO Smart Beads when it comes to the vibration sensation, however it moves in a different way.

Control it yourself during a solo sesh or let your partner take your arousal into their hands. You’ll feel something incredibly deep, powerful, and unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
