Anal Toy Sizing Guide - Sizing Info You Need From Butt Plugs to Prostate Massagers

on Jan 07 2026
When it comes to trying anal toys, you need to use the appropriately sized toy to get the best, most comfortable experience. The perfect anal toy will provide a pleasant sensation of stretching your anus without being too overwhelming or painful. So, today we’ll share our guide on how to measure your body (or your partner’s body) for anal toys; you’ll learn the essential metrics about anal toys and how to find the best one for you.
What Are Anal Sex Toys?
Anal sex toys are a group of adult toys designed to be used for anal play. These include butt plugs, anal beads, prostate massagers, anal dildos, and other exciting toys that you can use in your backdoor. Each of these comes in simple and sophisticated variants, with models having very advanced features that provide highly satisfying sensations.
What Size Anal Toy to Get: Measure Your Anus
The short answer if you don't want to measure anything is to get a small, beginner size anal toy, so you won’t risk overstretching your anus to the point of pain or even tearing of the soft tissues. To find the exact measurement of the anal toy, you should start, you can use a simple measuring technique to measure the anus. You can do this by yourself or with the help of a partner; in any case, you will need some lube and a tape measure.
Start by relaxing your body and getting comfortable; position your body as you like it; it can be on your back, on all fours, or your side. Add a fair amount of lube to your anus and your fingers, and start inserting one into the anus. For more comfort, push out as you or your partner slips a finger inside. If you are comfortable with one finger and feel like you can take more, then you can add in another one, and once you reach your limit, mark the point of how far the fingers are inserted into the anus. Remove them and measure the circumference by wrapping the tape measure around the widest part. It will give you the maximum circumference your anus can stretch at the moment, so you need to look for an anal toy that is this size.
However, you will note that plenty of our product descriptions share the diameter instead of the circumference of the anal toy. So, to calculate the diameter you can comfortably manage, you need to divide the measured circumference by 3.14. Once you know the diameter, you can look for an anal toy that is closest to your measured dimensions.
When it comes to the length of the anal toy you can safely take, you can measure this, or you can get an anal training kit that comes with anal trainers in varying sizes. These are designed to help anyone train their anus to take up toys and get used to the stretching sensation.
Anal Toy Models
There are plenty of different and exciting anal toys for you to try, which is why we made a list of the models you can find in our sex toy store. We also have separate guides on choosing and using different sex toys, which you can check out on our blog, which we urge you to check out.
Butt Plugs
The seemingly simple butt plug is a perfect anal toy, as it has an optimized shape and comes in so many sizes that fit users of all experience levels and needs. When you measure for a butt plug, make sure you measure the diameter as we explained above, and always err on the smaller side, meaning choose a somewhat smaller size plug as these may feel overwhelming if you are not used to them.
Here is what you need to know regarding the anatomy of a plug to select one you'll enjoy:
Butt plug tip – the tip of the butt plug is the first to go in, so its shape has an important role. The butt plug tip can be pointed, curved, rounded, or ridged. The pointed tip makes insertion easier; the rounded tip provides an initial stretch and allows smoother entry; a curved tip is perfect for prostate stimulation, while a ridged tip provides extra sensory stimulation.
Butt plug body – the body of the butt plug is the section that provides the most stimulation, and here you need to know its insertable length and insertable diameter.
The insertable length is the length from the tip of the butt plug to the neck or the part that goes inside your body. It can be small, with a length of 2 to 3 inches; medium, with a length of 3 to 4 inches; large, with a length of 4 to 6 inches; and anything over 6 inches is considered an extra-large length.
You also need to know the insertable diameter or the diameter of the butt plug at its widest point. It is a more important metric for satisfactory use. The diameter is the length across the plug, while the circumference is the length around the plug, as different product descriptions may include these two metrics. We prefer using the diameter metric, and based on this, there are extra small butt plugs with a diameter of less than one inch, which are the best beginner-friendly models. The small butt plugs have a diameter of 1 to 1.25 inches, medium butt plugs have a diameter between 1.25 to 1.5 inches, large butt plugs have a diameter of 1.5 to 2 inches, and anything with a diameter of over 2 inches is considered extra large.
Butt plug neck – the neck connects the body of the butt plug to the base, and this part sits on the anal sphincter. It keeps the anus stretched, and depending on the design of the butt plug, this size can be long or short and can be narrow or thicker. There is no right or wrong design, as it comes down to personal preference. However, we must note that a butt plug with a longer neck can be more easily positioned and removed.
Butt plug base – the base is part of the butt plug that sits outside the anus, and it has a flared shape to prevent the plug from traveling inside, as it has to have a significantly wider size than the body of the plug. The base can be circular, square, heart-shaped, elongated, or T-shaped. While it serves to prevent the plug from getting stuck inside the anus, you can use the base as a handle to insert or remove the plug easily.
Please check out our butt plug sizing guide and also our guide on how to choose a butt plug, where we outline all the particulars about butt plugs. Please note that we favor butt plugs made from body-safe materials like glass butt plugs, silicone butt plugs, and butt plugs made from stainless steel.

===COLLECTION===
Butt plug material – the material the butt plug is made from also has an important role, as glass butt plugs tend to feel more intrusive, while silicone butt plugs are softer and more pliable. We don’t recommend you buy butt plugs made from porous materials, but if you do this, use it with a condom to protect your health.
Extra features – there are various butt plugs today, some with a simple design and some with advanced features. There are jeweled butt plugs that add sparkle to your booty play, weighted butt plugs, tail butt plugs that are perfect for people with animal fetishes, inflatable butt plugs, and there are vibrating butt plugs that, on top of stretching your anus, provide satisfying vibrations.
Anal Trainers
Anal trainers are anal sex toy kits that have toys in increasing sizes that are intended for anal training. These usually come in graduated sizes - a small, medium, and large model that you can use to get into the world of anal pleasure. No need to measure here also, as the anal trainer kits come in several sizes that work great for people with little on no experience in anal play. Please check out our guide on how to use anal trainers for more detailed information.

Inflatable Butt Plugs
We list the inflatable butt plugs as a separate entity because these anal toys are designed to provide a highly intense sensation as they stretch the anus. Please note the size of the inflatable butt plug before it is inflated, as this is the size you'll be inserting, and the size of max inflation, and remember that these are not for beginners. These do this by inflating to a much larger size than they initially start with, thanks to a unique inflation mechanism that you can control via a simple squeeze bulb. Of course, there are also automatic inflatable butt plugs, and we invite you to check out our guides on how to choose an inflatable butt plug and how to use an inflatable butt plug, where you’ll learn so much more about this exciting sex toy

Anal Vibrators
The anal vibrators are anal sex toys that have internal vibrating mechanisms and provide much more than simple stretching of the anus as these have internal vibrating mechanisms that also vibrate and provide extra sensations that many enjoy and even crave. Please follow the simple measuring guide as you would measure for butt plugs, as most of the anal vibes are shaped as butt plugs. We have a complete guide on how to use anal vibrators to expand your sexual horizons.

Anal Beads
The anal beads are specially designed anal toys that use beads strung together that you use to stimulate the anus and enhance the sensations, mainly when you extract them mid-orgasm. Many people also find the rhythmic stretching and relaxing of the anus intense and pleasurable. You don't need any special measurements for anal beads, as you only need to consider the diameter of the beads - a great thing is that you don't need to insert the entire bead string inside, as you can go at your own pace and add as few or as many beads as you are comfortable with. We prepared complete guides on how to choose anal beads and how to use anal beads that we believe will come in handy for anal beads beginners.

Prostate Massagers
The prostate massagers are anal sex toys designed for prostate owners. The prostate or P-spot is a point that, when properly stimulated, provides intense sensations and is a highly pleasurable, sexy activity. Use the same measuring technique we explained above; you can also engage in prostate massage where your partner uses their fingers to touch the prostate and you can measure that length to find out what size prostate massager to get. There are multiple prostate massager models, and we have complete guides on how to use a prostate massager and how to choose a prostate massager.

Anal Douches
The anal douche is a specialized bulb that allows you to rinse the rectum, which can help you put your mind at ease when you wish to engage in anal sex. The way this work is by squirting warm water into your rectum and expelling it, rinsing fecal remnants and leaving you feeling cleaner, and making you feel more comfortable during any anal play. You don't need to measure anything here also, as only the tip of the bulb goes into your anus; but you do need to consider the design and choose what works best for you. Please check out our guides on how to choose anal douche and how to do an anal douche.

Anal play is wonderfully exciting and, when done correctly, deeply satisfying. The best way to start with anal play and experience the exquisite stretch is to get a butt plug. It may look straightforward and innocent, but the mighty butt plug is specially designed to be a comfortable, pain-free, and only slightly intrusive sex toy that is the perfect intro tool for anal sex. Thus, our experts have created the following guide on butt plug sizing, and here we discuss how to find the ideal butt plug for you.
What Size Butt Plug Should I Get?
Before you go and pick the other butt plug features, the main thing to choose is the size and shape. These factors are the primary ones, as they set the playing field for comfortable use and pleasurable outcomes. Most butt plugs have a spade-like shape; here is what you need to know to select a butt plug you’ll enjoy:

Penis Toy Sizing Guide: Measure for a Cock Ring, Pocket Pussy, Fleshlight or a Penis Sleeve
by Kate Miller
on Nov 14 2025
Each man has a different-sized penis, and while this could be a sensitive topic for some, it is important to know your size so you can select a proper penis toy. Still, because the penis size can vary throughout the day, you need to know the average size, which is our topic for today’s post. We will discuss how to measure your penis, which will then help you choose the perfect size toy to play with.
How to Measure the Penis The length and the circumference of the penis are the two measurements you need to take from your erect penis, as these measurements will determine the size of the penis toy you need to get. To start, first take a flexible tape measure, like a tailor’s tape measure. You can also use a piece of non-elastic string and a ruler to compare the length against. Then, proceed by giving yourself an erection in any way you like.
Take the tape measure or string, and hold the end of the tape firmly against your body, pressing until you feel the pubic bone. Note where the tape meets the end of the penis and take a reading. If you are using a string, mark the place on the string and compare it against a ruler. You’ve now measured the length of your penis. To measure the circumference, wrap the tape measure or string around the fattest part of the penis shaft. Mark where the tape meets and take a reading. Now you have the girth of your penis. Since many male toys describe the toy’s diameter, you need to divide the girth of your penis by 3.14, and you will get the diameter of your shaft. Knowing the exact size of your penis is vital to choose a well-fitting masturbator or a blowjob toy. Most handheld masturbators usually have about 5 to 6 inches in length and can stretch from 0.25” to about 2 inches. If nature is inclined your way and you have a huge penis, don’t worry, as there are larger versions that are super-stretchy and can accommodate penis diameters of about 3 inches.

How to Measure for a Cock Ring Measuring for a penis or cock ring is slightly different than measuring for a penis toy like a pocket pussy. For this, you need to measure the base of the penis where the cock ring will sit. Start by getting an erection, and make sure it is a strong erection; if you are not fully aroused, you will take the wrong measurements. You can ask your partner to help with this, or you can do it alone, but a solid erection is a must. Then, take your tape measure or string and wrap it around the penis at the base of the erect penis. Mark where the tape meets, and now you have the girth or circumference of the base of the penis. To find out the diameter, simply divide the girth by 3.14, and you’ll get the actual diameter, which you can use to choose a suitable cock ring. Please note that this is the inner diameter of the cock ring, so be careful when choosing, to get the correct size. Also, it may be okay to go with a tad smaller diameter, as the primary goal of the cock ring is to restrict and trap blood flow to the penis. But be mindful not to order a model that is too small, as it can be potentially harmful.

How to Measure for a Pocket Pussy or a Fleshlight Measuring for a pocket pussy is identical to measuring the penis for a male masturbator. However, even though these may not look like it, pocket pussies are usually super-stretchy and can accommodate most penis sizes. Give yourself an erection, and then measure the length of your penis with a tape measure or a string that you’ll then compare to a ruler. Then, measure the girth/circumference at the widest part and divide the girth by 3.14 to get the diameter. Usually, the pocket pussies are very stretchy and range from 0.25 inches to about 2 inches in diameter. If you get an open-ended model, the usual length it can accommodate is about 5-6 inches, while the close-ended models are usually longer for about 1 inch.

How to Measure for a Penis Sleeve/Extender The penis sleeve is an interesting male toy that is perfect for adding length and girth to your penis. When you select a penis sleeve, you need to measure the length and diameter of the penis but also know what type of penis sleeve you will get. If you choose a capped penis sleeve, then you must measure the length and circumference of your penis, following the method we described above. Using a tape measure, measure the entire length of your erect penis and the circumference at the widest part, but also make sure you measure the base of the erect penis, as many of these models have c-ring-like bases that attach the sleeve to the penis. If you are thinking of getting an open-ended cock extender that only adds girth to your penis, then you should measure the circumference of the penis at the tip and near the base of the penis or where the extender straps stretch over the penis. Don’t worry if you are not precisely precise for this measurement, as most penis sleeves and penis extenders are made from flexible, super-stretchy materials that fit nicely around the penis and accommodate it nicely.

Vibrator Sizing Guide: Decide Which Vibrator Size to Buy!

on Nov 11 2025
We have often mentioned that you need to choose a sex toy like a vibrator or a dildo based on your experience, and that includes looking at the size and deciding on a size you can safely and comfortably manage. But how do you know what size to get, and what about the other features that affect the user experience? Well, today, we take on the task of providing you with a guide on how to choose the perfect size vibrator for you, and we’ll also cover all the other essential facts about choosing a highly stimulating vibrating toy.
What is a Vibrator? The vibrator is a sex toy that has an internal vibrating mechanism that vibrates and stimulates the areas it is pressed against. The vibrator is one of the most popular and best-known sex toys, with almost 80% of women in the USA having reported they own at least one vibrator. You get a massive selection of different vibrators, ranging from simple dildo-shaped vibrators to bullet vibes, panty vibes, finger vibes, G-spot vibes, and much more. To choose a model that works best for you, you need to first consider if you want to get an insertable toy or one for external stimulation.

Sizing for Insertable Vibrators We’ll start with a sizing guide for insertable vibrators, as these are intended for internal stimulation, so size is critical here. The metrics you need to know are the length and the diameter of the insertable vibrator. You will also need to consider if you’ll only use your vibrator for vaginal play or if you’ll want to include some anal playtime. If you decide on a vibrator for just vaginal use, then you can go for a model that is longer and girthier, which can provide you with a more delicious stretch. How to Measure for Insertable Vibrators? Now, here is how to measure your body so you can get a well-fitting vibrator. We advise you to use your fingers and a tape measure to get precise measurements. First, relax and enjoy some foreplay, and once you feel you are ready, you can insert your fingers into your vagina. Start with one finger and add one (or two) more until you are comfortable with the fit. Measure the diameter across your fingers, and you’ll find the girth you can comfortably manage. Divide this measurement by 3.14, and you’ll get the diameter. To measure the length, you can use your fingers or another phallic object, like your partner’s penis or a dildo you enjoy using. Insert the dildo/phallic object/fingers into your vagina and measure the length you can comfortably take. Please note that if you want to use the vibrator for G-spot stimulation, you don’t need an extra long toy, as the G-spot is located about 2 to 3 inches inside the vagina, on the front wall. However, if you want to experience deep vaginal stimulation, then you can get a longer insertable G-spot vibrator. If you are after a combined stimulation, then we recommend you get a rabbit vibe that is optimized for simultaneous clitoral and G-spot stimulation. Measuring for a G-spot vibe is simple because, as we noted, the G-spot is located at 2 to 2 inches inside the vagina, so you should look for a rabbit vibe with about 5 inches of insertable length on average. In contrast, the rest of the rabbit vibe’s length is the handle. However, there are various models that you can find, some with 3 inches in insertable length and others with more than 6 inches in insertable length.
Sizing for External Stimulation Vibrators Now, we’ll talk about the external stimulation vibrators and how to measure for size. When it comes to external stimulation, you can get finger vibrators, bullet vibrators, panty vibes, tongue vibes, grinding toys, and vibrating wands, to name a few. To pick the model that you will enjoy best, consider the answers to the following questions:
Broad or focused stimulation – think about the stimulation you want to experience, like a toy covering the entire vulva or a toy that provides a focused, pinpoint stimulation.
Only clitoral stimulation or whole-body teasing – are you looking for a toy to only stimulate the clitoris, or do you want to use your vibrating toy to tease other erogenous zones like the nipples, the neck, or anywhere else?
Lightweight and compact or large model– consider if you want to get a small, portable vibe that can be easier to maneuver but comes with less power. Or maybe you want a highly powerful vibrating wand, which comes with the trade-off of being large and bulky and not very portable. Now that you have the answers, you can narrow down your selection and easily find the external stimulation vibe for you. How to Measure for External Stimulation Vibrators? Measuring for an external stimulation vibrator is much easier than measuring for an insertable vibe, i.e., it is not necessary to actually measure anything. Simply consider the intended use and choose a model that appeals to you. The average size of a bullet vibrator is about 5 inches in total, so you can use these to stimulate the clitoris or your other erogenous zones. However, you can also find small bullet vibes that are only 2 inches in length, which are perfect for adding extra stimulation when you play with another toy. If you’ve opted for a finger vibe, then an important measurement is the loop that attaches the vibe to your finger. However, you can also get models that fit between your fingers, and these come with a "one-size-fits-most" at about 2 to 3 inches in length, allowing you to enhance playtime. Now, while there is no need to measure for a vibrating wand toy, you need to know that the size of a wand is between 7 and 12 inches, and these are designed only for external stimulation. Because of their larger vibrating heads, these provide more powerful vibrations that spread over a broader area, and you can use these to stimulate the entire vulva or even massage that crick in your neck.
The Bottom Line We tried to cover the basics related to finding the perfect measurements for a vibrator, and we looked at the techniques for measuring different vibrating toys. However, we have a lot more helpful guides on choosing and using various sex toys, which you can check out on our blog. Additionally, we wish to invite you to check out our sex toy store, where we carry a broad range of vibrators, dildos, male sex toys, anal toys, BDSM gear, sexy lingerie, and essentials for better sex.

Strap ons come in a range of sizes from under 5 inches and can range up to between 9 and 10 inches. Circumference sizes range from beginners at around 4 inches, up to larger sizes of between 5.5 inches and 7 inches (or above). So knowing the size of the strap-on to get is critical for safe, comfortable and pleasurable use. Thus, we preprared the following strap-on sizing guide where we disucss how to measure yourself and your partner for a most fitting strap-on toy!
How to Measure for a Strap-On? To measure a vagina, you will need a vibrator (if possible), or an alternative object which is long, clean and has a smooth surface. To begin, either you or your partner lay on their back with legs spread. The vagina needs stimulating at this point, as it elongates when it is aroused. Once aroused, you can start sliding the vibrator or phallic object into the vagina. When you reach the max comfortable depth, mark this on the vibrator/phallic object. This is the strap on length (for the dildo or vibrator) which the vagina can safely handle. To measure circumference or girth, you can use your fingers and slide one at a time until you reach the limit. Then, wrap the tape measure around the fingers and you;ll get the circumference of the strap-on the vagina can comfortably take.. Sex Toy Measurements Generally speaking there are four vital measurements for any sex toy you need to know:
Length: The full length of the toy from the two farthest points, which we refer to as total lenght.
Insertable Length: The length of the toy that can be safely inserted.
Width (or diameter): The distance between the two sides of the toy.
Girth (or circumference): The circumference of the toy which is relevant to insertable toys.
Sizing for Hollow Strap-Ons A hollow strap-on is mostly worn by men who have a smaller penis, so for these, measure the length f the penis when it is fully aroused (if possible). It is the measurement that ensures the penis will fit in the hollow dildo canal.This is to make sure they can fit their penis inside the hollow canal. Make sure you measure the circumference and calculate the diameter, as most product descriptions share the diameter of the hollow dildo strap-on. It is a simple math - divide the circumference by 3.14 and you'll get the diameter, and you'll know the size to look for.

Sizing for Vibrating Strap-Ons You need to measure the length and circumference of the vibrating strap-on. If you get a simpler vibrating strap-on with a dildo and an harness, then only measure the safe size the receiver can manage. But if you are looking to buy a strapless strap-on, then you should also know the size the wearer can manage. To measure for a strapless strap-on, you need to measure the size the vagina can safely take, as the strapless strap-on is worn in the vagina and held in place by the Kegel muscles. If you have previous experience with egg vibes, these can be a good starting point. However, if you don't have a previous reference, then use deduction to find a model that will be comfortable. Even better, you can get an inflatable strapless strap-on for a perfect fit.

Sizing for Strap-On Compatible Dildos Strap-on or harness compatible dildos are designed to give a unique feel to the receiver. They come in varying ranges, so you can get a small, medium, and even large strap-on compatible dildos. To measure the insertable length, you can us ethe method we described above: measure the length the vagina can safely take when it is fully aroused. Do this with a dildo, a vibrator or another phallic object and you'll get the length of the dildo. While you are at it, measure the circumference and calculate the diameter, and you'll get a good idea of the size of strap-on compatible dildo to get. You can find insertable lengths of strap-on compatible dildos at around 5 to 6 inches and then larger varieties of between 7 to 8 inches. Please note that to fit the dildo in the strap-on, you need to take into account the O-ring and base, as once fitted in the harness, the insertable lenght gets shorter. In any case, our product descriptions tend to share the insertable length for most strap-on compatible dildos, so we have you covered.

Sizing for Strap-On Harness To measure for a strap-on harness is much easier than measuring for the accompanying toy. Becasue most strap-on harnessses are adjustable, you can look at the general product description where we share the range of adjustability, so you will know your chosen model will be the right ft. Measure you waist for the main waist size; then measure around your thighs where the harness will fit. For this, we recommend you use a flexible tape measure that will allow you to wrap it around your thighs and butt, measuring the exact size you need. Also, note that most adjustable strap-on harnesses have a give of about 5-10 inches, so you can safely get a model that appeals to you visually and you can expect it will fit you nicely. If you are going after a strap-on underwear model, then you need to be more careful, as these are not adjustable. Our product descriptions list the sizes for each strap-on underwear model, which are comparable to the US dress sizes, so you can find the one that is closest to your size. We also have a plus-size strap-on harnesses and underwear category for those ladies with broader hips.

Kegel Balls Sizing Guide: How to Measure for Ben Wa Balls
by Kate Miller
on Nov 05 2025
Perhaps the best way to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles is to use kegel balls. These small spheres, also known as Ben Wa balls, Venus balls, pleasure balls, love balls, or geisha balls, have been used by women for centuries as they are the best way to give your pelvis a proper workout. So, today, we discuss how to measure your body with kegel balls, and we’ll also outline the benefits the female body can reap from regularly using pleasure balls.
What are Kegel Balls? Kegel balls are small, smooth spherical,or oblong objects that are placed into the vagina to exercise the pelvic floor muscles. There are different models, like single balls or two connected balls; they usually come with a retrieval cord. To use the kegel balls, you need to insert them into the vagina and try to hold onto them with the pelvic muscles; this way, you are tightening the pelvic floor muscles and gaining stronger muscles that can lead to a tighter vagina, better sex, help with incontinence, stronger orgasms, and even recovery after giving birth. But how do you measure the size of kegel balls that fit you?

How to Measure for Ben Wa Balls? Measuring for Ben Wa balls is slightly different than measuring for regular sex toys. You need to wear these into the vagina, so knowing the size you can safely and comfortably manage is the most important thing. You can measure this in one of two ways: Use your fingers – Since the kegel balls don’t need to go too deep into the vagina, you can use your fingers to measure how much your vagina can take. For this, get some lube and insert one finger into the vagina; you don’t have to be particularly aroused to measure for kegel balls. Make sure the fingers don’t provide too much stretch, as you want these to fit nicely and not slip out. Then, measure around your finger/s, and you’ve measured the circumference you can safely take. Divide the circumference by 3.14, and you’ll get the diameter of the geisha balls you can take. Our product descriptions clearly outline the important dimensions of every product. Compare tampon size – another way to measure Kegel balls is to compare the usual tampon size you use. If you use a small tampon and it moves around, it points to a larger size, which means you should look for medium-sized Kegel balls.
Kegel Ball Weight Another important measurement when it comes to geisha balls is their weight. These can be made from various materials, and, of course, these come with different weights. Please note that the diameter of the Kegel balls does not always correspond to the weight, as there are smaller yet weighted balls, and there are bigger yet lighter Kegel balls. The lightest models are made from silicone, ABS, or PVC (we favor silicone), as these are lightweight body-safe sex toy materials. The usual weight for beginner Ben Wa balls is about 20 grams or 0.7 ounces. The models made from stainless steel and glass tend to weigh more; there are also weighted Kegel balls made from silicone. The weight of the heaviest Ben Wa balls can go up to 110 grams or close to 3.88 ounces.
How to Use Kegel Balls? We have a complete guide on how to choose kegel balls, so here is a quick guide on how to use these. Please note that you can use these in different ways for different results, and here is how to get a targeted pelvic floor muscle workout: Wash the balls, dry them, and get some water-based lube Lie on your back, apply lube to the balls and yourself, and slowly push the balls into the vagina Once these are comfortably inside, tighten the pelvic floor muscles, lifting and squeezing the balls Hold the muscles contracted for about 5 seconds, then release and relax for 5 seconds Repeat about 5 times in a row, but don’t do more than 20 times per day. Please consider your experience when using geisha balls, as it is possible to over-train your Kegel muscles and then feel discomfort, which can do more harm than good. So, we prepared the following guidelines for using geisha balls based on experience level:
Beginners should only use the Kegel balls lying down and should try to keep the muscles contracted for 5-10 seconds, relax, and repeat until you feel the muscles starting to strain, or about 15-20 repetitions a day.
Intermediate users can wear the Kegel balls for about 10 minutes at a time, and they can stand up and move with them if they are comfortable that the balls won’t slip out. They can also try doing some light stuff with them to feel the muscle contractions.
Experienced users or women with very strong Kegel muscles should not have any issues with wearing & holding the Kegel balls in the vagina while moving around with them, doing chores, or even going out of the house with them. They can wear the Kegel balls for up to 6 hours a day.
Using the Kegel balls during playtime can significantly increase arousal and improve the intensity and frequency of your orgasms, as this helps increase the vagina’s sensitivity. Here is how to add love balls to your playtime. Start by using your clean Kegel balls and some water-based lube. One way is to insert the geisha balls into the vagina before you go on date night; you can include your partner in the insertion process. As you move, the balls will press on the vaginal walls, and as your body tries to hold them inside, the more aroused you’ll become. Make sure you take out the balls before you insert something else in the vagina, like a dildo, a vibrator, or your partner’s penis. Another way is to insert the Kegel balls into the vagina and then proceed to have anal sex. It does not have to involve full anal penetration, but you can use a butt plug or even anal beads to enhance the pleasure and push the Ben Wa balls against the G-spot for intense pleasure.
The Bottom Line We hope our guide on how to measure for Kegel balls was helpful and that you’ll consider expanding your sexual horizons and adding these little pleasure balls to your sex toy chest. But we also have a lot more educational and helpful guides in our blog that can help you learn how to choose and how to use different sex toys.
