Red Sneaker Diaries Reviews Smart Balls
Now, some of my readers may remember me singing the praises of SmartBalls back in the day (see: How Smart Are These Balls?). That was a while ago, and those balls have seen a lot of use in the meantime. Very recently, the string wore apart and I chose to retire them as a
result. It was a sad day.
So imagine my joy when Bliss at Black Label offered to send me a new pair for review.
I was both relieved and overjoyed - the timing could not have been better and I LOVE
promoting smartballs.
That's a win-win situation. Black Label only sells the best sex toys, so of course they offer smartballs. The new ones I got were pink. How cute!

I must admit, I've had a long standing love affair with smartballs. My first set came into my life three years ago, and at the time, I had no idea what fun was in store.
Smartballs are like ben wa balls, except better - version 2.0, as it were. First off, a set of smartballs is one unit - the balls are connected via a short length of very flexible yet very sturdy silicone. This provides the flexibility necessary to orient them "just right" while making it impossible to ever lose just one ball. Furthermore, because everything about smart balls is silicone and hard plastic, clean up is dead simple. This is a well thought out toy.
The really wonderful thing about smartballs, however, is the design. The balls are elliptically shaped, as is the small weight inside each. Thus, when you wiggle the smartballs, the weight inside flops around erratically, creating a pleasant, vibration-like feeling that lasts a surprisingly long time. This is different from more traditional balls, which are spherical - when the weight inside a spherical ball jiggles, it moves much more predictably, and the sensation is less like vibration and more like gentle and dull throbbing.
Smartballs can be worn for long periods, if desired. I have worn them for looooooong stretches in every conceivable situation. Swimming with smartballs? Delicious. Running with smartballs? A tad distracting. Airplane turbulence with smartballs? Fabulous. The more I wear my smartballs, the tighter I get, and the harder, faster and more often I come. To me, wearing them is a no brianer, and I do it as often as possible. They don't knock my socks off, but they make me smile when they jingle inside of me, and they make me howl with delight in the bedroom.
Smartballs are also amazingly versatile during play. I have found them to be a wonderful pairing to an insertable bullet - the vibrations makes them rumble like crazy. They feel great popping in and out of me, or being lightly tugged by the string while inside of me. And for anal sex, nothing can compare to having smartballs in place. All of the action makes them rumble and squirm and churn. Utterly amazing.
So, in summary, I give smartballs 5 stars, because I strongly recommend them to anyone. They're inexpensive, fun to play with, and they make you come harder, longer, and more often. What more could you want in a toy?
