Je Joue Ami Kegel Balls - Purple

Je Joue Ami is a three-piece set of silicone kegel balls for women who would rather start light and move up gradually than guess at a single weight. You get three graded pieces in the same deep purple, each with its own retrieval loop, so you can pick the one that suits you on a given day.

The three pieces, lightest to heaviest

The set runs in a deliberate order: the pieces get smaller as they get heavier. Ami 1 is a single soft ball, the largest of the three and the lightest at 47 g, with a listed girth of 4.3 in. Ami 2 is a double ball, still soft, weighing 78 g with a 3.9 in girth. Ami 3 is a firm double ball, the smallest at 3.6 in girth and the heaviest at 106 g. Je Joue numbers them 1 to 3 for a reason, and most people begin with Ami 1, moving on only once it feels familiar.

What the silicone is like

Each piece has a smooth, velvety silicone finish with no seams to catch. Ami 1 and Ami 2 have a little squish; Ami 3 feels solid in the hand. The loops are flexible silicone too, so they fold out of the way rather than poking. Je Joue states the set is vegan. There is no motor, battery or charging port, so nothing to switch on and nothing to keep dry.

How to insert, wear and remove kegel balls

Wash your hands and the piece first. Add a small amount of water-based lube to the ball only; too much makes it slippery and harder to keep in. Lie back with knees bent, or stand with one foot raised on the edge of the bath, and slide the ball in gently, much like a tampon, until it sits comfortably inside with the loop resting outside your body.

Then carry on with your day around the house. Begin with a short wear and lengthen it gradually as the feeling becomes familiar. If it starts to slide out, take it out and try another time.

To remove it, relax, find the loop and pull slowly and straight. If it feels stuck, take a breath, change position and try again. Never wear the balls during intercourse, and don't sleep with them in.

Cleaning and storage

Wash each piece in warm water with a mild, unscented soap or a toy cleaner before and after use, paying attention to the point where the loop meets the ball. Let everything air-dry completely before you put it away. Keep the three pieces in their box or a clean pouch, apart from other silicone toys, since silicone attracts lint and soft pieces can stick to each other.

Who should skip them

The Ami set is for vaginal use only. The loops are not a flared base, so the balls are not suitable for anal play. If you have any medical questions about wearing internal weights, ask a healthcare provider before you start.
