SILICONE BALLS
Next up are silicone Kegel balls, these are where we would recommend you start your journey, if tighter more toned pelvic floor muscles are what you are after. There is a wide range on the market, but they all share similar characteristics, they are made up of one or two balls in a silicone casing or harness, with a silicone string or tab at one end, for easy removal. These are perfect, we recommend you start with a double ball that is not too heavy and work your way up to heavier sets and eventually up to a single heavier ball.
