LELO Beads Plus — Interchangeable Weighted Kegel Beads Set

Using LELO Beads Plus is straightforward, and the interchangeable design means you can customise your experience as your pelvic floor strength develops.

Before your first use, wash all beads and the silicone harness thoroughly with warm water and mild soap. Select your starting weight — for most women, this will be a single 28 gram bead placed in the harness. Apply a small amount of water-based lubricant to both the loaded harness and yourself for comfortable insertion.

With clean hands, gently insert the harness into the vagina with the rounded end first, positioning it approximately two centimetres inside the vaginal opening. The retrieval cord should remain outside the body at all times. If you find insertion difficult, try lying on your back with your pelvis slightly elevated, or standing with one leg raised — both positions can make insertion easier.

Once the beads are in place, stand up and move around. Walking, light housework, dancing, or any upright activity will cause the internal weights to roll and shift inside each bead, creating subtle kinetic vibrations that prompt your pelvic floor muscles to contract and hold the beads in position. This passive exercise effect is what makes weighted kegel balls effective — your muscles work continuously without you having to think about squeezing.

For optimal results, wear the beads for fifteen to twenty minutes per day during your normal daily activities. Start with the lightest single bead and use it consistently until it feels easy to retain, then progress to heavier beads or two-bead combinations.

To remove, relax your pelvic floor muscles and gently pull the retrieval cord. If the beads do not come out easily, bear down gently as if having a bowel movement while pulling the cord. After use, wash the beads and harness thoroughly with warm water and mild soap, dry completely, and store in the included satin storage pouch.

The LELO Beads Plus system offers significantly more training combinations than any other LELO kegel ball set, thanks to its six interchangeable beads across three weight categories. The silicone harness can hold either one or two beads at a time, giving you a wide range of resistance options for progressive pelvic floor training.

With a single bead in the harness, you have three weight options — 28 grams (lightest, ideal for beginners), 37 grams (intermediate), and 60 grams (advanced). Single-bead configurations are lighter overall and easier for your pelvic floor to retain, making them the best starting point.

With two beads in the harness, you can create multiple combinations by mixing weights. Two 28 gram beads give you 56 grams total. One 28 gram bead paired with one 37 gram bead gives you 65 grams. Two 37 gram beads give you 74 grams. One 28 gram bead with one 60 gram bead gives you 88 grams. One 37 gram bead with one 60 gram bead gives you 97 grams. Two 60 gram beads give you 120 grams — the maximum resistance available in the set.

This progressive range — from 28 grams up to 120 grams — covers a significantly broader spectrum of pelvic floor strength than most kegel ball systems on the market. By comparison, the LELO Beads Classic set includes only four beads (two at 28 grams and two at 37 grams), limiting you to fewer combinations with a maximum of 74 grams.

The ability to increase resistance in small increments is important for effective pelvic floor training. Jumping from one weight to a much heavier weight can cause muscle fatigue or discomfort, whereas gradual progression allows your pelvic floor to adapt and strengthen consistently over time. The Beads Plus system gives you the flexibility to find exactly the right challenge level at every stage of your training.

Yes, weighted kegel balls like the LELO Beads Plus are a well-established conservative approach to managing stress urinary incontinence — the type of bladder leakage that occurs when you cough, sneeze, laugh, jump, or exercise. Stress incontinence happens when the pelvic floor muscles are not strong enough to maintain closure of the urethra during sudden increases in abdominal pressure, and strengthening these muscles through progressive resistance training can reduce or eliminate leakage.

The LELO Beads Plus system is particularly well-suited for incontinence management because of its wide weight range. Starting at just 28 grams for a single bead and progressing up to 120 grams for a two-bead advanced combination, the system accommodates women at virtually every stage of pelvic floor strength — from significant weakness through to advanced conditioning.

The kinetic vibration mechanism inside each bead provides an additional advantage for incontinence management. As the internal weight rolls and shifts during movement, it stimulates involuntary pelvic floor contractions. This means your muscles are training passively while you go about your day — you do not need to remember to perform conscious squeeze-and-hold exercises, which many women find difficult to maintain consistently over time.

Research consistently supports pelvic floor muscle training as the recommended first-line treatment for stress urinary incontinence. Adding resistance — such as weighted kegel balls — makes the training more effective by giving the muscles something to contract against, similar to how adding weight to any exercise increases its strengthening benefit.

Most women begin to notice improvement in bladder control within four to six weeks of consistent daily use, with more significant results typically occurring within three to six months. Consistency is more important than intensity — daily use of the correct weight for fifteen to twenty minutes will produce better results than sporadic longer sessions.

If your incontinence is severe or does not improve after consistent use, consult your pelvic health physiotherapist for a comprehensive assessment.

Yes, LELO Beads Plus are manufactured to the highest safety and quality standards. LELO is an internationally recognised brand with rigorous quality control, and all LELO products are made from body-safe materials that meet strict safety certifications.

The beads are made from body-safe ABS plastic, and the harness is made from smooth silicone — both materials are non-porous, hypoallergenic, free from phthalates and BPA, and do not harbour bacteria when properly cleaned. The seamless construction means there are no joins, seams, or rough edges that could cause irritation during insertion or use. The retrieval cord is integrated into the silicone harness for secure, comfortable removal.

For safe use, follow these guidelines. Always wash the beads and harness 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 harness. Do not use during pregnancy unless specifically advised by your healthcare provider. Do not use during menstruation, as hygiene is more difficult to maintain. Do not use if you have an active vaginal infection.

Limit wear time to fifteen to twenty minutes per session, particularly when starting out. Extended use can lead to pelvic floor muscle fatigue, which may cause increased tightness and discomfort rather than improvement. Your pelvic floor muscles need rest and recovery time between exercise sessions, just like any other muscle group.

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

LELO Beads Plus 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 LELO Beads Plus after every use is essential for maintaining both the device and your vaginal health. Because the beads and harness are made from body-safe, non-porous materials, cleaning is straightforward.

After each use, remove the beads from the silicone harness and wash each component separately under warm running water with a mild, unperfumed soap. Washing the beads individually ensures that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, including the contact areas between the beads and the harness where body fluids and lubricant can collect. Rinse each piece thoroughly to ensure all soap residue is removed — soap residue left on the surface can cause vaginal irritation when the beads are next used.

Alternatively, you can use a dedicated silicone toy cleaner, which is specifically formulated to clean body-safe materials without degrading them. Do not use harsh detergents, heavily fragranced soaps, antibacterial solutions containing alcohol, or any abrasive cleaning products, as these can damage the silicone surface of the harness over time.

After washing, dry all components completely with a clean, lint-free cloth. Store the beads and harness in the satin storage pouch provided with the set. Avoid storing silicone components in direct contact with other silicone items, as prolonged surface contact between silicone products can sometimes cause material degradation.

Do not boil, microwave, or place LELO Beads Plus in a dishwasher. While the materials can withstand warm temperatures, extreme heat may affect the internal weight mechanism inside each bead and the integrity of the harness.

For best hygiene practice, clean all components 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 LELO Beads Plus. Silicone-based lubricants can chemically bond with the silicone harness, causing it to become tacky and degraded. Oil-based lubricants can also damage the material and increase the risk of vaginal infection.

LELO offers three kegel ball systems — Beads Plus, Luna Beads Classic, and Luna Beads Mini — each designed for different needs and body types. Understanding the differences helps you choose the right set for your pelvic floor training goals.

LELO Beads Plus is the most advanced and versatile option in the range. It includes six interchangeable beads across three weight categories — 28 grams, 37 grams, and 60 grams — with two beads at each weight. The 60 gram beads are exclusive to the Plus set, providing significantly more resistance than either the Classic or Mini systems. With six beads and a two-bead harness, the Plus set offers the widest range of weight combinations, from a single 28 gram bead up to a two-bead 120 gram combination.

LELO Luna Beads Classic includes four beads — two at 28 grams and two at 37 grams — with a harness that holds two beads. The Classic set uses the same 35 millimetre bead diameter as the Plus, making it suitable for most women. However, with a maximum combined weight of 74 grams (two 37 gram beads), the Classic set has a lower ceiling for resistance progression than the Plus system.

LELO Luna Beads Mini also includes four beads at 28 grams and 37 grams, but with a smaller 29 millimetre bead diameter and a more compact harness. The Mini set is specifically designed for women who need a smaller size — whether due to a naturally smaller vaginal opening, vaginal tightness, sensitivity, or simply personal comfort preference.

The key advantage of the Beads Plus is the 60 gram beads, which provide a level of resistance that the Classic and Mini sets cannot match. For women who are serious about progressive pelvic floor training and want a system that will continue to challenge their muscles as they get stronger, the Plus set offers the most long-term value.

At Blossom Pelvic Health, we stock all three LELO kegel ball systems because the right choice depends on your individual needs. If you are unsure which set is best for you, our team can help you decide based on your current pelvic floor strength, comfort level, and training goals.

LELO Beads Plus are available in Australia through Blossom Pelvic Health, a specialist pelvic health retailer that stocks a carefully curated range of pelvic floor training devices alongside clinical pelvic health products.
