Laselle Kegel Balls — Weighted Pelvic Floor Exerciser Set

Using Laselle Kegel Balls is straightforward, and the technique is similar to inserting a tampon. Before your first use, wash the exerciser with warm water and mild soap, and apply a small amount of water-based lubricant to both the ball and yourself for comfortable insertion.

With clean hands, gently insert the Laselle ball into the vagina, keeping the retraction cord outside the body. Position the exerciser approximately two centimetres inside the vaginal opening — you should be able to feel it sitting just inside, but it should not be uncomfortable. If it slides in too easily and you cannot feel it, you may need a heavier weight.

Once inserted, contract your pelvic floor muscles by squeezing and lifting — as if you are trying to stop the flow of urine mid-stream. Hold the contraction for two to ten seconds, then release and rest for the same duration. Repeat this cycle for up to fifteen minutes per session. Most practitioners recommend two sessions per day for optimal results.

You can perform Laselle exercises while lying down, sitting, or standing. Lying down is easiest because gravity is not pulling the ball downward. As your strength improves, progress to seated and then standing positions, which increase the challenge by adding gravitational resistance.

When you are ready to remove the exerciser, relax your pelvic floor muscles and gently pull the retraction cord. Do not force removal — if the ball does not come out easily, try bearing down gently as if having a bowel movement while pulling the cord. After use, wash the exerciser thoroughly with warm water and mild soap, dry completely, and store in a clean, dry place.

Do not use Laselle exercisers for more than four to six hours at a time. Prolonged use can lead to pelvic floor muscle fatigue or overexertion, which can cause tightness and discomfort rather than improvement.

The correct starting weight depends on your current pelvic floor strength, and the best approach is to begin with the lightest weight and progress upward as your muscles get stronger.

The 28 gram ball (lightest) is the recommended starting point for most women. This includes women who are new to pelvic floor exercises, women who have recently given birth, women experiencing pelvic floor weakness or stress urinary incontinence, and women who have not used internal pelvic floor devices before. If you can comfortably hold the 28 gram ball in place while standing for fifteen minutes without it slipping, you are ready to move to the next weight.

The 38 gram ball (intermediate) is appropriate for women who have been doing regular pelvic floor exercises and have built a baseline level of strength. If the 28 gram ball feels too easy — meaning you cannot really feel it or it stays in place without any effort — the 38 gram ball will provide the resistance needed to continue building strength.

The 48 gram ball (advanced) is for women with strong pelvic floor muscles who need maximum resistance to continue progressing. This weight provides a significant challenge and should only be used once you can comfortably hold the 38 gram ball during standing activities.

Once you have mastered individual weights, you can link two balls together using the retraction cord system to create combined weights — for example, 28g plus 38g equals 66g, or 38g plus 48g equals 86g. This gives you up to six different weight combinations for continued long-term progression.

If you are unsure which weight to start with, we recommend consulting your pelvic health physiotherapist. They can assess your current pelvic floor strength and recommend the appropriate starting weight and exercise program for your specific needs.

Yes, Laselle Kegel Balls are specifically designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles that control bladder function, and progressive resistance training with weighted exercisers is a well-established conservative treatment for stress urinary incontinence.

Stress urinary incontinence — leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing, jumping, or exercising — occurs when the pelvic floor muscles are not strong enough to maintain closure of the urethra during sudden increases in abdominal pressure. By strengthening these muscles through targeted resistance training, you can improve their ability to contract quickly and firmly when needed, reducing or eliminating leakage.

Research consistently shows that pelvic floor muscle training is the recommended first-line treatment for stress urinary incontinence in women. Adding resistance — such as weighted kegel balls — makes the training more effective by providing something for the muscles to contract against, similar to how adding weight to a bicep curl makes the exercise more effective than curling with no weight.

Laselle exercisers support incontinence management in several ways. The progressive weight system allows you to start at an appropriate level and gradually increase resistance as your muscles strengthen. The internal rolling weight provides sensory feedback that helps you confirm you are engaging the correct muscles. The structured exercise approach — contract, hold, release, rest — trains both the strength and endurance of the pelvic floor.

Results are not immediate. Most women begin to notice improvement after four to six weeks of consistent daily practice, with significant improvement typically occurring within three to six months. Consistency is more important than intensity — two fifteen-minute sessions per day with the correct weight will produce better results than occasional longer sessions with a heavier weight.

If your incontinence is severe or does not improve with pelvic floor exercises, consult your pelvic health physiotherapist for a comprehensive assessment. Incontinence can have multiple causes, and a tailored treatment plan may include additional strategies alongside weighted pelvic floor training.

Yes, Laselle Kegel Balls are made from one hundred percent medical-grade silicone, which is the gold standard material for any device used internally. Medical-grade silicone is non-porous, hypoallergenic, free from phthalates and BPA, and does not harbour bacteria when properly cleaned. The Laselle range is manufactured by Intimina, a brand that specialises exclusively in women's intimate health products.

The smooth, seamless silicone coating means there are no joins, seams, or rough edges that could cause irritation during insertion or use. The retraction cord is integrated into the design and is also coated in silicone, ensuring comfortable removal.

For safe use, follow these guidelines. Always wash the exerciser before and after each use with warm water and mild soap. Use only water-based lubricant for insertion — silicone-based lubricants can damage the silicone surface of the exerciser. Do not use Laselle balls during pregnancy unless specifically advised by your healthcare provider. Do not use during menstruation, as the retraction cord may interfere with tampon placement and hygiene is more difficult to maintain. Do not use if you have an active vaginal infection, as the exerciser could aggravate the condition or interfere with treatment.

Do not wear Laselle exercisers for more than four to six hours continuously. Extended use can cause pelvic floor muscle fatigue, which may lead to increased tightness and pain rather than strength improvement. For most women, two fifteen-minute sessions per day is the recommended exercise duration.

If you experience pain during use, stop immediately and consult your pelvic health physiotherapist. Pain may indicate that your pelvic floor muscles are already too tight (hypertonic), in which case strengthening exercises may not be appropriate and a different treatment approach may be needed.

Laselle exercisers are not suitable for everyone. Women with hypertonic pelvic floor, active pelvic organ prolapse beyond Stage II, or certain post-surgical conditions should seek professional guidance before using weighted pelvic floor exercisers.

Cleaning Laselle Kegel Balls after every use is essential for maintaining both the device and your vaginal health. Because the exercisers are made from medical-grade silicone and are fully sealed, cleaning is straightforward.

After each use, wash the exerciser under warm running water with a mild, unperfumed soap. Pay attention to the area where the retraction cord meets the ball, as body fluids and lubricant can collect in this junction. Rinse thoroughly to ensure all soap residue is removed — soap residue left on the surface can cause vaginal irritation when the exerciser is next used.

Alternatively, you can use a dedicated silicone toy cleaner, which is specifically formulated to clean medical-grade silicone without degrading the material. Do not use harsh detergents, heavily fragranced soaps, antibacterial solutions containing alcohol, or any abrasive cleaning products.

After washing, dry the exerciser completely with a clean, lint-free cloth. Store in a clean, dry place — ideally in the storage case or pouch provided. Avoid storing silicone products in direct contact with other silicone items, as prolonged contact between silicone surfaces can sometimes cause material degradation.

Do not boil, microwave, or place Laselle exercisers in a dishwasher. While medical-grade silicone can technically withstand high temperatures, the internal weight mechanism and cord attachment points may be affected by extreme heat.

For best hygiene practice, clean the exerciser both before and after each use. Cleaning before use removes any dust or residue that may have accumulated during storage. Cleaning after use removes body fluids and lubricant before they dry on the surface.

Always use water-based lubricant with Laselle exercisers. Silicone-based lubricants can chemically bond with the silicone surface, causing it to become tacky and degraded. Oil-based lubricants can also damage the material and increase the risk of vaginal infection.

Most women begin to notice improvement in pelvic floor strength and symptoms within four to six weeks of consistent daily use, with more significant results typically occurring within three to six months. However, the timeline varies depending on your starting strength, the severity of your symptoms, and how consistently you follow your exercise program.

In the first two to four weeks, you may notice improved awareness of your pelvic floor muscles and an increased ability to contract and hold them deliberately. This is the neuromuscular connection phase — your brain is learning to activate these muscles more effectively, even before significant strength gains occur.

Between four and eight weeks, many women report noticeable improvements in bladder control, particularly a reduction in stress incontinence episodes. You may find that the weight you started with feels easier to hold, which is a clear sign that your muscles are getting stronger and it may be time to progress to the next weight.

By three to six months of consistent use, most women experience substantial improvement in pelvic floor strength, bladder control, and pelvic support. Some women also report enhanced sexual sensation, as stronger pelvic floor muscles contribute to improved vaginal tone and more intense orgasms.

Consistency is the most important factor in achieving results. Two fifteen-minute sessions per day with the correct weight will produce better outcomes than sporadic longer sessions. If you miss a day, simply resume the next day — the key is building a sustainable daily habit.

Once you have reached your desired level of strength and symptom improvement, maintenance is important. Pelvic floor muscles, like any muscles, will gradually lose strength if you stop exercising them. Most practitioners recommend continuing with a reduced maintenance routine — for example, one session per day or several sessions per week — to preserve the gains you have made.

If you do not see improvement after six to eight weeks of consistent use, consult your pelvic health physiotherapist. They can assess whether you are using the correct technique, whether the weight is appropriate, or whether a different treatment approach would be more effective for your specific condition.
