What are Kegel balls?
Kegel balls — sometimes called Ben Wa balls or love balls — are weighted balls you insert into your vagina to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, though Kegel exercises are also beneficial for men. Strengthening your pelvic floor can improve muscle tone, increase sexual pleasure, and help you recover after giving birth.
Your pelvic floor muscles support your bladder, uterus, and bowels. Keeping them strong is important for bladder control, sexual function, and overall health. If you leak urine when you laugh, cough, or sneeze, you might want to consider doing something to improve your pelvic floor strength.
This article will cover what Kegel balls are, how to use them safely and effectively, their benefits, potential risks, and other options for improving your pelvic floor strength.
