Vaginal Weight Comparison Chart

Our physiotherapist, Fiona has put together a handy chart so you can easily compare the sizes of the vaginal weights, cones and balls sold on Pelvic Floor Exercise.
We are often asked 'which weight is best for me?' so this handy reference should help you to decide.

The main feature to look for is the width of the weight. If you are going to be able to hold it in then it needs to fit. If too narrow for your vaginal width it will slide out. If too wide, it may be uncomfortable to insert.
As a general rule of thumb, women who have given birth vaginally will usually start with a wider weight/ball.
However if you are able to easily retain a tampon you should be able to use the Intimate Rose Kegel Exercise System or Luna Beads Mini

You can do a quick self test by inserting two clean fingers into your vagina, contract your pelvic floor and if you can feel your vaginal walls drawing in and squeezing your fingers together then you will most likely be able to use the smaller width weights.
If you don't feel much squeeze then start with something wider like the Teneo Uno ball, Luna Beads or Nova Exercise Balls.

Another good test is if you use tampons - if you can't hold one in or it tends to slide sideways you may not be able to retain the smaller width weights like Intimate Rose. A larger ball may suit better but also please see your pelvic floor physiotherapist for a proper assessment if you haven't already.

If you can easily hold a tampon in, and you can feel a squeeze around your finger/s when inserted, then you should be able to use Intimate Rose or the mini Luna Beads.

If you can't feel any movement then you should see a pelvic floor physiotherapist or your doctor for further guidance before starting with a device.
