Svakom Nova — Kegel Ball Set for Pelvic Floor Training

Using Svakom Nova Kegel Balls is simple, and the key difference from traditional kegel exercises is that the balls do much of the work for you — your pelvic floor contracts naturally in response to the internal rolling weight as you move.

Before your first use, wash the ball thoroughly with warm water and mild soap. Apply a small amount of water-based lubricant to both the ball and yourself for comfortable insertion. With clean hands, gently insert the ball into the vagina with the tapered tip first, positioning it approximately two centimetres inside the vaginal opening. Keep the retrieval cord and finger loop outside the body at all times.

Once the ball is in place, stand up and move around. Walking, light housework, dancing, or any upright activity will cause the internal weight to roll and shift, creating subtle vibrations that stimulate your pelvic floor muscles to contract and hold the ball in place. This passive exercise is what makes kegel balls effective — your muscles are working continuously without you having to think about squeezing.

For optimal results, use the Nova ball for fifteen to thirty minutes per day during your normal daily activities. Start with the lightest ball (49 gram single ball) and use it consistently for approximately thirty days before progressing to the next weight. If the ball slips out easily or you cannot feel it, you may be ready for a heavier weight.

Do not use the balls while sitting or lying down for extended periods, as the internal weight needs movement to create the rolling stimulation. Walking and standing activities provide the best exercise effect.

To remove, relax your pelvic floor muscles and gently pull the retrieval cord using the finger loop. If the ball does not come out easily, bear down gently as if having a bowel movement while pulling the cord. After use, wash the ball thoroughly with warm water and mild soap and dry completely before storing.

You should start with the lightest and largest ball in the set — the 49 gram single ball with a 36 millimetre diameter. This is the recommended starting point for most women, regardless of whether you have been doing pelvic floor exercises before.

The 49 gram single ball is appropriate for women who are new to kegel balls or weighted pelvic floor exercisers, women who have recently given birth and are beginning postpartum pelvic floor recovery (after receiving clearance from their healthcare provider), women experiencing mild to moderate pelvic floor weakness or stress urinary incontinence, and women who have not used internal pelvic floor devices before.

The larger diameter of the single ball makes it easier for your pelvic floor to grip and hold in place, while the lighter weight means less gravitational pull working against your muscles. If you can comfortably hold the 49 gram ball in place while walking for fifteen to thirty minutes without it slipping, you are ready to progress.

The 75 gram double ball with a 32 millimetre diameter is the intermediate step. The increased weight and reduced diameter make your pelvic floor work harder to retain the ball during movement. Use this ball consistently for approximately thirty days before considering the next progression.

The 95 gram double ball with a 28 millimetre diameter is the most challenging option. The combination of the heaviest weight and smallest diameter requires significant pelvic floor strength. Only progress to this level once you can comfortably hold the 75 gram ball during standing activities.

If the lightest ball falls out immediately upon standing, your pelvic floor may need to build some baseline strength before using weighted kegel balls. In this case, start with unweighted pelvic floor exercises — contract, hold, release — and consult your pelvic health physiotherapist for a tailored program before returning to the Nova set.

Yes, weighted kegel balls like the Svakom Nova 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 Svakom Nova set supports incontinence management through its progressive weight system. By starting with the lightest ball and gradually increasing resistance as your pelvic floor gets stronger, you are systematically building the muscle strength and endurance needed to maintain bladder control during everyday activities.

The passive exercise mechanism of kegel balls offers a practical advantage over traditional kegel exercises for many women. Because the internal rolling weight prompts involuntary pelvic floor contractions as you move, you do not need to remember to squeeze or follow a structured exercise routine — your muscles are working every time you walk, stand, or move while wearing the ball. For women who struggle to maintain consistency with traditional kegel exercises, this can make a significant difference in adherence and results.

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

If your incontinence is severe, does not improve after six to eight weeks of consistent use, or is accompanied by urgency (sudden strong urges to urinate), consult your pelvic health physiotherapist. Incontinence can have multiple causes, and a comprehensive assessment may identify additional factors that need to be addressed alongside pelvic floor strengthening.

Yes, Svakom Nova Kegel Balls are made from one hundred percent body-safe silicone, which is non-porous, hypoallergenic, free from phthalates and BPA, and does not harbour bacteria when properly cleaned. The entire ball is seamlessly coated in smooth silicone with no joins, seams, or rough edges that could cause irritation during insertion or use. The retrieval cord is also made from silicone and features a finger loop for comfortable, secure removal.

The Nova set is fully waterproof, meaning the internal weight mechanism is completely sealed within the silicone housing. This sealed construction ensures that body fluids and bacteria cannot enter the device, and it can be thoroughly washed under running water after each use.

For safe use, follow these guidelines. Always wash the balls before and after each use with warm water and mild soap. Use only water-based lubricant — silicone-based lubricants can damage the silicone surface. 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 use to fifteen to thirty minutes per session. Extended use beyond this 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.

Svakom Nova balls 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 Svakom Nova Kegel Balls after every use is essential for maintaining both the device and your vaginal health. Because the balls are made from body-safe silicone and are fully waterproof, cleaning is straightforward.

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

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

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

Do not boil, microwave, or place Svakom Nova balls in a dishwasher. While the silicone exterior can withstand warm temperatures, extreme heat may affect the internal weight mechanism and the integrity of the sealed construction.

For best hygiene practice, clean the ball 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 Svakom Nova balls. 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.

The Svakom Nova set uses a progressive training approach based on decreasing diameter combined with increasing weight — a design principle that differs from some other kegel ball systems on the market and offers distinct advantages for structured pelvic floor training.

Most kegel ball sets, such as the Intimina Laselle range, use balls of similar size with increasing weight only. The Nova set changes both variables — the lightest ball is the largest in diameter, and as the weight increases, the diameter decreases. This means your pelvic floor must work harder not only against increased gravitational pull but also to grip a smaller surface area, providing a more comprehensive progression in pelvic floor challenge.

The Nova set includes three weight levels — 49 grams, 75 grams, and 95 grams — which provides a wider weight range than many competitors. The Laselle set, for comparison, ranges from 28 grams to 48 grams for individual balls. This means the Nova set can accommodate women with a broader range of pelvic floor strength, from moderate weakness through to advanced strength.

The Nova balls are designed for passive exercise during daily activities — walking, housework, light exercise — rather than active squeeze-and-hold kegel exercises. The internal rolling weight provides the stimulation that triggers involuntary pelvic floor contractions, making the training process more effortless than systems that require conscious muscle engagement.

Compared to smart kegel trainers like the Perifit or Elvie, the Nova set offers a simpler, technology-free approach. There is no app, no Bluetooth, and no screen to watch — you simply insert the ball and go about your day. For women who prefer a straightforward, no-fuss approach to pelvic floor training, this simplicity is a significant advantage.

At Blossom Pelvic Health, we stock multiple kegel ball and pelvic floor training options because the right device depends on your individual needs, preferences, and goals. Our team can help you determine whether the Nova set, the Laselle range, or a biofeedback trainer would be the best fit for your situation.
