Kegel Balls 101: Strength, Pleasure, and Pelvic Floor Power

At Sensual Flix Adult Boutique – Ottawa’s Sex Shop, we believe wellness should be fun, empowering, and feel damn good. Enter: Kegel balls—small, weighted tools that do big things for your body and your pleasure.

If you’ve never heard of them, or you’ve been curious but unsure where to start, this guide is for you.

What Are Kegel Balls?

Also called Ben Wa balls or love balls, Kegel balls are small, body-safe weights designed to be inserted into the vagina. Their purpose? To help you engage and strengthen your pelvic floor muscles—the muscles responsible for everything from bladder control to sexual sensation.

Think of them as a tiny personal trainer for your pelvic floor. At our Ottawa sex shop, we often recommend them to customers looking to improve their intimacy, confidence, or post-childbirth recovery.

Why Use Kegel Balls?

There are a lot of reasons people love incorporating Kegel training into their wellness routine:

💪 Stronger pelvic floor muscles
💦 Increased sensation and stronger orgasms
🧘 Better bladder control
🤍 Postpartum recovery support
🌸 More body awareness and internal strength

Some people use them strictly for the health benefits, while others enjoy the added bonus of pleasure and arousal. Either way, it’s a form of self-care that can feel incredibly empowering.

How Do You Use Them?

Using Kegel balls is easier than you might think:

Start by applying a bit of water-based lubricant to help with comfort.
Gently insert the balls into the vagina—similar to inserting a tampon.
Engage your pelvic muscles to hold them in place.
You can either relax, move around, or do intentional Kegel exercises.
Start with 10–15 minutes per session and increase as you get stronger.

Pro tip from our Ottawa sex shop team: you don’t even have to actively squeeze the whole time. Just wearing them engages your muscles naturally.

Beginner Tips

If you’re new to Kegel training, here are a few helpful tips to make the experience smooth and successful:

Start with larger, lighter balls. These are easier to grip and perfect for beginners.
Clean them thoroughly before and after each use with mild soap and warm water.
Stick with water-based lube to protect the material and keep things comfy.
Listen to your body. If anything feels painful or uncomfortable, take a break.
Be consistent—like any other workout, progress comes with time.

And remember: this isn’t a competition. It’s your body, your pace.
