The origin of geisha balls remains rather fuzzy. It is believed to be one of the very first sex toys used by women but we do not know the exact date of their creation. It is estimated around the 5th century AD but no reliable source is able to confirm this date.
On the other hand, we know that at 16th century the english adventurer Ralph fitch found some in Burma. Originally they were considered a precious object reserved for the concubines of Asian rulers. Made of Jade, they were mainly used to tone the perineum and thus bring satisfaction to Kings.
Note that these famous geisha balls are much older than the so-called Geisha. Indeed, the first real Geisha were born on the 17thth century In Japan, in the city of Edo known today as Tokyo.
Initially these geisha balls were called « Rin no tama » which means « ringing of a bell » because of the small metal balls which they contain and which are at the origin of the vibrations produced by the geisha balls. Today they are also known as Kegel balls.
Dr. Arnold Kegel is the originator of Kegel exercises which aim to strengthen the pelvic floor. These exercises are recommended especially after childbirth, in case of incontinence or to improve orgasm and sensations during sexual intercourse.

How do geisha balls work?
As the name suggests, geisha balls are made up of one or two balls connected by a cord. The diameters can vary from 3 to 5 cm as a general rule but there is no real standard in the matter. They should not be too small or too big.
Inside the geisha balls is a lead ball (or other heavy material) which moves according to the movements made, hence its Japanese name « tinkling of a bell ». It is the vibrations of the beads and the contractions of the vagina that stimulate and strengthen the tone of the vaginal walls.
When the person wearing them moves, the balls collide and the steel balls inside produce vibrations, thus stressing the vaginal muscles. Note that these vibrations can lead some women to have an orgasm.
As we said in the introduction, geisha balls were originally made from Jade. Moreover, their form has changed little since their creation. The basic principle remains the same, 1 or 2 balls connected by a cord. However, with the new materials used for sex toys, geisha balls are now made of silicone, ABS plastic, steel, etc. To my knowledge there are none in glass.
The benefits of wearing geisha balls
The therapeutic interest geisha balls
Yes, geisha balls are not just a sex toy for pleasure. Quite the contrary! Used for centuries by the concubines of Asian rulers, they served and still serve to strengthen the perineum.
The perineum is a set of muscles located in the pelvis. Its role is essential because it supports all the organs of the abdomen. Because of the vaginal cavity, the perineum of women is more fragile than that of men.
During her life, a woman experiences periods that weaken her perineum: childbirth and menopause for example. A weakening of the perineum can lead to a descent of organs, urinary leaks, and of course a decrease in pleasure during the sexual act.
Fortunately there are solutions to tone your perineum. The rehabilitation of the perineum involves several breathing exercises, movements and massages to be performed in the presence of a health professional but also alone at home. These same health professionals agree that geisha balls are used to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor.
As you can see, geisha balls are much more than a simple sex toy intended for pleasure. They have a real therapeutic role.
The pleasure brought by geisha balls
Women who feel immediate pleasure with geisha balls are rather rare. In fact, this sex toy stimulates the vaginal wall and awakens your senses. It is when you have sex with your partner that you will be more receptive and that you will feel their sex better.
To strengthen your pelvic floor with geisha balls, the exercise is quite simple. The goal is to prevent your geisha balls from escaping from your vagina. You have to imagine an athlete who works his muscles by lifting weights. The principle is the same, you will contract your vaginal muscles so that the geisha balls stay in place. These exercises will strengthen your perineum and your vagina will be narrower. In fact you will have more frequent orgasms and faster.
Geisha balls can also be used as a preliminary to prepare for intercourse. For example, because of their discretion, nothing prevents you from wearing them during the day (going to work, shopping, etc.). The stimulation generated by your movements will be an excellent preparation for a hot hug with your partner. In addition, regular use of geisha balls leads to better blood circulation in the perineum and promotes vaginal lubrication.
Another thing to keep in mind. If you wear the geisha balls for several minutes or even a few hours, upon removal, it is quite possible that you will experience an orgasm. For this, the withdrawal must be done quickly. The vibrations you will have felt while wearing the geisha balls will have stimulated your muscles and your nerve endings. Abrupt withdrawal can lead to pleasure.
Geisha balls are discreet
Discreet, the word is weak, they are invisible once the livers have been introduced into your vagina. Nothing prevents you from wearing them in public places such as restaurants, the cinema, public transport or evenings with friends. These naughty little games can even stimulate your couple’s libido for more intense moments once you get home, see even before if the urge is too urgent ?
