1. Wash your hands and the Ben Wa balls
First wash your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. You should also clean the Ben Wa balls before every use with warm water and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Regular cleaning will prolong the life of the balls and ensure total hygiene.
2. Find the best position
Finding a position in which you are completely relaxed will make it easier to insert your Ben Wa balls and eliminate any unnecessary pain or discomfort. We recommend lying on your back with your legs spread to relax your vagina. If you find it difficult to insert your balls, breathe slowly and deeply to relax. Good posture is one of the factors that will help you to have a successful session.
3. Use lube
Using a personal lubricant makes it easier to insert the balls into your vagina. Apply a generous amount of lube to the balls and to the outside of your vagina to make the balls easier to insert.
Remember that if your Ben Wa balls are made of silicone, you must use a water-based lubricant. Do not use silicone-based lubricants as they can damage the surface of the ball.
4. Insert your Ben Wa balls
When inserting the Ben Wa balls, it is important to take your time and listen to your body. Insert the first ball, taking care not to force it. If you have a second ball, insert it gently by pushing it upward into your vagina. If you feel any discomfort or pain, stop immediately. Make sure that the removal cord stays outside your body so that you can easily remove the balls at the end of your session.
5. Work out with your balls
Ben Wa balls can be used to strengthen and tone your pelvic floor muscles.
Before using the balls for the first time, practise contracting your pelvic floor muscles correctly. If in doubt, ask your doctor or gynaecologist. To easily identify these muscles, try to stop peeing the next time that you’re on the toilet. The muscles you’re contracting are your pelvic floor muscles.
As soon as the balls are in place, start your Kegel exercises. Contract your pelvic floor muscles to lift the balls slightly. Hold this pressure for five seconds and then relax for another five seconds. For a full set of exercises, repeat five times in a row. Try to do up to three sets a day for effective muscle strengthening.
6. Enjoy your balls
On top of the muscular benefits mentioned above, Ben Wa balls will also help enhance your sexual pleasure. During a solo play session, you can increase your arousal by stimulating your other erogenous zones such as the clitoris, anus or nipples. This can also make foreplay with your partner incredibly intense. Don't forget that by strengthening the pelvic muscles, your Ben Wa balls can help you achieve more intense and frequent orgasms.
7. Remove your balls
Lie down in a comfortable position. Pull gently on the removal cord: the balls should slide out easily. If they do not, use a bit of lubricant to make removal easier. If you still cannot remove them, try contracting and releasing your pelvic floor muscles by walking, jumping or coughing hard. If these attempts do not help, see a doctor immediately.
8. Clean your Ben Wa balls
Caring for your Ben Wa balls will ensure that they remain in perfect condition for years to come. After every session, clean them with warm water and mild soap to remove any residue or bacteria. Remember to dry them completely on a clean surface before storing them in a case or bag to protect them from dust and moisture.
