XtoysBOLY Kegel Training Beads Review: A Progressive Pelvic Floor Set
Editor's opinion
The BOLY Kegel Training Beads are a graduated pelvic floor set that lets you start light and add resistance over time. The range of weights and two holders make it a sensible all-in-one buy for beginners and improvers alike, though the silicone body means you must stick to water-based lubricant.
Kegel trainers are one of the more practical items in this category: the aim is not novelty but building pelvic floor strength, whether after childbirth, for bladder control, or simply for tone. The BOLY set approaches this the way a good exercise plan should, with four weighted balls rather than a single fixed load.
What a buyer is really weighing here is progression. A one-weight trainer either feels too easy or too demanding, and there is nowhere to go once your muscles adapt. This set is built to grow with you, and the question is how well the range and the holders deliver on that in practice.
The good and the bad
What works
- Four weights from 18g to 55g, so you can start gently and progress
- Single and double holders included for finer control over the load
- Silicone body is body-safe and easy to keep clean
- Fully waterproof, so washing is straightforward
- No batteries or charging to worry about
What to be aware of
- Silicone body rules out silicone-based lubricant
- Colour-coding is handy but weights are not marked on the balls themselves
- Requires patience and consistency rather than instant results
- 55g top weight may not be enough for very advanced users
Buy it if
Anyone new to pelvic floor training who wants room to progress, and those returning to exercise after childbirth who need to start light and build gradually.
Skip it if
Advanced users who already train comfortably beyond 55g, who may want a heavier standalone weight. Anyone who prefers silicone lubricant should look for a set they can pair with it, or simply switch to water-based here.
Design and materials
The set is made from silicone throughout, with a smooth surface on both the balls and the holders. Silicone is a sensible choice for an internal trainer: it is non-porous, body-safe and easy to sanitise, which matters for anything used this way.
The weights are colour-coded so you can tell them apart at a glance, which is genuinely useful when you own four similar balls. Worth noting, though, that the colour tells you which is which only if you remember the code — the grams are not stamped on the balls, so keep the box or a note to hand until the order is second nature.
How it is meant to be used
The principle is progressive resistance. You begin with the 18g ball in the single holder, and as your muscles respond you move up through 30g, 40g and 55g. The double holder lets you combine two balls, giving you intermediate and heavier loads without buying anything more.
This is exercise, not a quick fix. The benefit comes from regular, consistent use over weeks, and from moving up a weight only when the current one feels comfortable to hold and control. A little water-based lubricant makes insertion easier and more comfortable.
Care and cleaning
Because the whole set is waterproof and made from silicone, cleaning is simple: warm water and a suitable toy cleaner before and after use. Let every piece dry fully before storing.
One firm rule follows from the material. Silicone lubricant can degrade silicone toys over time, so use a water-based lubricant only. Store the balls and holders somewhere clean and dry, ideally kept apart from other silicone items.
How it compares
Against a single-weight Kegel ball, this set's advantage is obvious: you are not locked into one difficulty level, and the two holders add flexibility that most single trainers lack. For the money, getting four weights and both holders in one box is efficient.
Where it stops short is the ceiling. At 55g the heaviest option, someone who trains seriously may eventually outgrow it and need a dedicated heavier weight. For the vast majority starting out or maintaining tone, however, the range on offer here covers the ground that matters.
The bottom line
As a starter and improver set, the BOLY Kegel Training Beads make a lot of sense: four weights, two holders and easy-clean silicone give you a full progression path in one box. Just plan to use water-based lubricant, keep track of which colour is which, and accept that results come from consistency. Advanced users wanting more than 55g are the only group who should look elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions
Are these suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes. The 18g ball in the single holder gives a gentle starting point, and the graduated weights let you build up only when you are ready, which is exactly what a beginner needs.
What lubricant should I use?
Use a water-based lubricant only. The silicone body can be damaged by silicone-based lubricant over time, so stick to water-based for both safety and longevity.
How do I clean the set?
The whole set is waterproof, so wash the balls and holders with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner before and after use, then allow everything to dry fully before storing.
How do I know when to move up a weight?
Progress when the current weight feels comfortable and easy to hold and control. There is no rush; consistent use at a manageable level is more effective than jumping ahead too quickly.
Do I need batteries or charging?
No. This is a manual training set with no power required, so there is nothing to charge and no batteries to replace.
