LELO Beads Noir

Dressed all in black, LELO Beads Noir are a pair of weighted kegel balls joined by a soft silicone harness, made to be worn internally while you go about your day or during foreplay. Each bead weighs 37 g, and inside each one is a weight that moves as you move. That small, rolling shift is the whole point: you feel the beads respond to walking, stairs or simply shifting in a chair. Think of them as a modern take on Ben Wa balls, with a smooth finish and a retrieval loop.

What wearing them feels like

Once they're in, there's no vibration and no noise. What you notice is weight and movement. The beads sit low, and when you walk or sway your hips, the inner weights roll and tap gently. Some people find it a quiet, private background sensation; others enjoy it as a slow build during foreplay before sex. Many people also like to squeeze around them, and LELO describes them as something you can use as part of a kegel routine.

How to put them in and take them out

Wash the beads and your hands first. Add a little water-based lube to the first bead, then insert them one after the other, much as you would a tampon, until both are inside and only the loop stays outside the body. Relax your muscles; there's no need to push them deep. To remove them, breathe out, relax and pull slowly and steadily on the loop. Hold the loop as you insert them too, so it never ends up out of reach.

Choosing your weight

At 37 g per bead, Noir is the heavier, more noticeable option. If you're new to weighted balls, start with short sessions of 15 to 30 minutes while sitting or walking around the house, which is what the supplier suggests, and stop if anything feels uncomfortable. Prefer something smaller to begin with? LELO Beads Mini is the compact set, and Luna Beads Plus offers a different set-up from the same family.

Using them as vaginal beads during play

The beads also work as an external toy: run them over the skin before inserting them, or let a partner use them during foreplay. They're for vaginal use only. The loop is a retrieval cord, not an anal-safe flared base, so don't use them anally.

Some couples like the idea of one partner wearing the beads during an evening out or a slow dinner at home, then removing them before things move to the bedroom. Because they're silent and hidden, nobody else needs to know, and the gentle movement keeps the evening on your mind.

Care and storage

After each use, separate the parts and wash them with warm water and antibacterial soap, then let them dry completely. Use only water-based lube, as LELO notes that silicone lube can make the silicone tacky. Keep them out of direct sunlight and store them in the satin pouch somewhere free of dust. According to retailer listings they are waterproof, so you can rinse them thoroughly.
