This week on Toying with Tuesday, I’m reviewing Lelo’s Luna Beads, a fun way to remember to practice sexual health and pleasure at the same time. To more easily slide the beads to their desired locale (in the vagina), I served myself up with a handy helping of Astroglide Natural. I’m a big fan of the pelvic floor (yay, pelvic floor, thanks for holding us all in place) and the exercises associated with strengthening the muscles that surround the vagina, urethra, bladder and anus (on guys, it supports the penis and the rest of the package). I once made a short video about exercising your pelvic floor muscles and I know that my own orgasms have changed for the better as a result of regular pelvic floor exercises.
So, that’s why I will always love the Luna Beads and other products geared towards strengthening the vagina (it is a muscle, use it or lose it). When inserted along with lube it makes for two great tastes that taste great together, even if Astroglide’s Natural lubricant doesn’t taste - or smell - all that natural. Oh well. It still worked.
Hi Jayme,
Thanks for the great review. I really liked the tip on slipping a vibrator into the draw string ring. Quick Q.. How would you compare the Lunabeads to the Funfactory Smartballs?
Hey Jennifer. Thanks for the comment. That’s a great question and I’m going to do a little more research comparing the two to get back to you, but for starters, the lelo beads make it so that you can change up the weight of the balls, which allows for at least options (more variety for sure, not only can you make three combos with the weighted balls, but you can use one ball instead of two). Smartballs don’t have that. I don’t know if it’s psychological because I can see the balls in the luna beads too, but i feel them more than the fun factory ones, the hard, weighted ball in the center. but again, that may be with the vibration addition around the string too. I like how easy the lelo beads are to clean all around too, since you can pop them out of the silicone sleeve. but i do love the color options of the smartballs.
