After reading on a forum about Ben Wa Balls, and also being encouraged by my GT when I mentioned them, I decided to take a leap of faith and order some. It's clearly time for some fun, I thought to my self.
I had quite the large array of choices when I did an Internet search for them and finally decided to go with Amazon.com for my final choices. I decided that gold-plated was good enough for me, in an attractive plastic display box, with lubricant. Woooo. All this (a pair) for only $7.50, plus S&H. I was aroused just thinking about them.
Being assured they would be shipped discreetly in plain brown wrapping, I waited patiently for them to arrive. It did take nearly a week, but it would be worth the wait, I thought to myself.
They did arrive and now I had to wait for the perfect opportunity. What better time that a pleasant Sunday morning, right after dilating. In they went, being pushed gently into place. Out popped the first one right away. Oops, it needs to go in further. So, in I pushed, as far as my finger would place it.
The clink of them together was never felt, but keeping my muscles tight to retain them in place was quite pleasurable. OK, the first usage was a bit of a disappointment, but, no bother, I'd simply clean them up and put them away for another day. I squatted down to let them fall and nothing happened. I hopped up and down... No balls.
Later in the morning, while sitting on the toilet, out came the first one with a clink-clink into the porcelain commode. The second was nowhere to be found. I looked for it at the original scene to no avail.
At my mid day dilation, my stent did bump it and I distinctly heard it click against it. Click-click it went. I tried to lead it out into the open using the stent, but it wouldn't take the bait. It was fine where it was. I was unable to reach it with a finger. All I could do was bump it with the stent. I hopped all over and did all sorts of gyrations, but it stayed put. It's position made it impossible to insert the stent the full depth, so I was worried about my dilation regimen, possibly tearing my new vajayjay, or getting an infection from a foreign object left in residence.
I decided to use exercise and gravity to get it out. All afternoon I walked, I moved, I bent over, I did it all to no avail. That little devil was now part of me for good and I was plenty worried now.
It took me three weeks to get an appointment with my Gyno and I certainly didn't want to be the talk of the emergency room. I finally decided that my best chance was a mechanic's magnet on a telescoping rod. How humiliating.
I drove to Sears and searched the tool department for the proper tools. There they were, a complete assortment of magnets on different telescoping devices. Each magnet listed it's lifting power. I didn't need to lift it, I needed over overcome tight quarters and be able to lead it out. I brought it's twin to check the strength of the magnet. I found one that was narrow enough to get into place and made a distinct snap when it touched the twin.
I took it home, cleaned it up and disinfected it. I inserted it gently, further, further and finally further. CLINK!!! My word, the shock as unsettling. Slowly, I withdrew it and out came the offending little object. I had it in my possession.
Thus ended my adventure with Ben Wa Balls, which I shall forever call Ben Waaaaaaaah balls, because they had me crying.
Word of caution—get the ones with the strings for retrieval. I'm not sure I'd even use those after today. I've had enough adventure for a while...
You should have tried the vacuum with the crevice attachment.
I have a pair on a nylon string that are plastic and have a smaller metal ball in each. They are wonderful to put in and go about your day because the metal balls go all over and cause motion and stimulation. lol. I love mine and use them regularly.
Joyce, nice recounting of your experience.
I have some, bit they are connected by string,
Though I can't say that I have ever worried about losing an object in my vagina,
though if I did I would go to the emergency room. Wouldn't be embarassed, like I
might be if I had an object in my anus, say like a hamster. :o

I would just like to say that emergency rooms are used to people getting things stuck inside of them in these ways.
I knew of one woman who wanted to use her vibrator in her back. Unfortunately, she was using one of those small, short ones, that are suppose to be carried around easily. She sneezed/coughed/whatever and the thing went right inside of her.
She ended up wandeing around the house for several hours waiting for the battery to wear down before going to ER. But they removed it.
Hello,
I would just like to say to the writer who wrote about the emergency room staff who does this all of the time (remove foreign bodies from caveties). Yes, that is what ER staff do. However it is also unfortunate that the author of the thread is correct!. ER staff will and do make fun of people who are different and especially the transgendered patient. This practice is NOT selective to a certain demographic region....it is all over the U.S. You can kid yourself if you choose that the medical community is made up of professionals. That is true...but the professionals are also human and do not act any other way.
I have seen colleagues put a transgendered patient through needless testing (to get their money), through painful interventions in order to "punish" or teach them a lesson, per say and other awful things which you do not want to hear about. The majority of medical professionals are "afraid" of the tg community because people fear what they do not understand. The majority of tg patients are NOT truthful about current medication regimes (others also fall in this category, but tg's are famous for it) and maintaining licensure to the medical professional is very serious. The community fears that certain meds, interventions, treatments will interfere with other interventions that the tg patient is undergoing and feels that the medical community is being "set up" by these patients. BTW...drug addicts, prostitutes, etc. are also treated this way, but tg is the ones who are "targeted". It used to be homosexuals...but that is getting better. Anyway, just thought that I would share with you what I experience very frequently. It is ugly...but...it is what it is...

Interesting this thread came up. I have been thinking about purchasing a set of Benwa balls with the cord for sometine however wasn't really sure they would be suitable for a postop girl for the reason mentioned by Joyce.
Any feedback from girls already using them on the good and bad points would be appreciated.
I think it's great you had the presence of mind to actually go to the store, purchase the retrieval device and use it successfully! I would have probably been freaking out lol
I have to admit.. That was a great solution to a difficult dilema :)
Well written too :)
