How to Use Perifit Pearls (Geisha Balls)

Updated over 2 months ago

Perifit Pearls — also known as Geisha Balls — are a natural, gentle, and effective way to tone the pelvic floor. They’re especially appreciated by women who prefer a simple, non-digital training method, or want to complement their Perifit Care training.

What Are They?

Perifit Pearls are small, round, weighted shells made of soft medical-grade silicone with a small ball inside. The heavier the ball, the easier it is to hold in place.

Once inserted into the vagina, the internal vibrations they generate trigger reflex perineal contractions. These help you to feel your pelvic floor better and strengthen it as required.

How to Use Them

  1. Start with Clean Hands and Weights

    Wash your hands and clean the balls with mild soap and warm water before each use.

  2. Choose the Right Weight

    The set comes with three interchangeable balls:

    • Start with the single ball for beginners.

    • Progress to the double balls as your strength improves.

  3. Insert Gently

    • Get into a comfortable position. You can lie on your back, squat or stand with one foot on a chair.

    • Relax. Breathe and insert the balls gradually, relaxing your pelvic floor

    • Take a few steps to check that they have been inserted correctly - they should not cause any discomfort.

  4. Begin with a Few Minutes

    Start by wearing the balls for 10-15 minutes per day, 2-3 times a week. Over time, you can increase to 30 minutes per day.

  5. Let Your Body Work Naturally

    There's no need to squeeze — your muscles will activate automatically as you move around.

    You can also try the “active” method, where you contract your pelvic muscles for 5 seconds, then relax, and repeat this 10 times.

  6. Remove and Clean

  • Return to the position you had when you inserted the balls

  • Relax and pull the cord gently. The balls will slide outwards on their own. You can also push them out by using your pelvic muscles.

  • Wash the balls with warm water and mild soap, and store in a clean, dry place.

Progression Tips

  • Consistency is key! Use your balls a few times per week.

  • As your strength improves, try using the lighter balls.

  • Don’t wear them all day — short, regular sessions are more effective and safer.

Counterindications to using the Perifit Pearls

Geisha balls are not suitable for:

  • During pregnancy, if you experience:

    • Pelvic pain

    • Contractions

    • Shortening of the cervix

    • Threat of premature delivery

  • Use immediately postpartum

  • Severe prolapse

  • Vaginal infection (wait until the infection has cleared and get clearance from your healthcare provider)

  • chronic pelvic pain

  • allergies to certain materials

If you ever feel discomfort, stop using the weights and consult your doctor or pelvic health specialist.
