Smartballs

Over the past five years I have purchased about twenty sets of Smartballs from Fun Factory. They last forever, and I’m not much of a collector, so why so many? I love Smartballs so much they are my go-to gift for weddings, baby showers and birthdays. I bought both my sisters Smartballs and even got a pair for my mother!

Smartballs are a ben wa ball style toy, and we think they are the best on the market. Smartballs are weighted balls covered in the highest quality silicone, made to insert vaginally for vaginal exercise and stimulation. They come in a one ball or two ball model and, although they are on the larger side, most women find them comfortable once fully inserted.

With the balls inserted, your vaginal and pelvic muscles immediately go to work, flexing around the balls and responding to the slight rolling sensation of the weights inside the outer ball. You might feel a wide range of sensations, from the “i gotta pee” sensation to a highly arousing stimulation.

Wear your Smartballs for five minutes at a time to begin, and work your way up to an hour or more. You can even wear them as you run your errands, go on a date or relax at home. They are an easy way to tone and stimulate your pelvic muscles, leading to a healthier sexual system, stronger arousal and better orgasms.

Penis Sleeves

Penis sleeves are a kind of sex toy for men, designed to fit snugly around the penis and add texture and intensity to stimulation as the shaft is stroked through the sleeve.

Tenga Eggs are the most popular penis sleeve on the market, with good reason. The fabulous design includes variety of textures gives men a huge range of options, and finding your favorite is a fun masturbation project. The closed-end design creates a suction effect around the head of the penis, adding to the heightened pleasure of masturbation with this toy.

Tenga Eggs are sold as disposable, but they can easily be washed out and used multiple times. At under $10 each they are a great deal for your solo sex life.

Ben Wa Balls

Ben Wa (sometimes spelled Ben Wah, or even benwa) balls are a sexual tool used to tone the vaginal muscles and enhance female sexual function. Small balls, often hollow with a weighted ball bearing inside, are inserted and held in the vagina. They can be actively manipulated to stimulate and tone the vaginal walls, or simply worn as a woman goes about her day.

Use of weighted balls, eggs and barbells for vaginal toning dates back hundreds of years and is found across many cultures around the world. Sometimes they are called loveballs, smartballs, vaginal balls or kegel balls.

Traditional Ben Wa balls are loose metal balls, often very small and slippery. These are perectly safe to use but many women find them too small to feel and they can slip out if you stand up. We don’t love the traditional style Ben Wa balls for this reason. Sex toys are going modern and there are much better versions of Ben Wa balls available today!

Q&A: How Do Cock Rings Work?

Question:: Do cock rings help to prolong a hard erection? Is it safe to wear and for how long? Does it also help to retain ejaculation?

Answer::

Cock rings help prolong erection by trapping blood in the penis. Blood can flow in, but not out. You put it on around the base of just the penis or around the entire shaft and behind the base of the balls. Here is a link to one of our favorites and GoodVibes sells lots of options. They are generally safe to wear for as long as you like, but start with sessions of 30 minutes or less. We strongly recommend models with snaps or other ways to take the cock ring off quickly. Start with one of these models and then you can move up to a heavier metal ring once you figure out how cock rings work on your particular body. Also avoid the cheap jelly rubber cock rings, as they can irritate the skin and are often not tight enough to work effectively. Take it off if you start experiencing pain, numbness or discomfort.

Cock rings do not generally prevent ejaculation. This is a skill that must be mastered with lots of (pleasurable!) practice. To explore controlling ejaculation, make sure to read our book on Ejaculation Control.

Cheers!
