Maybe you know it? You take your Venus balls and everything fits as it should. You reach for them again in a few days, but it's not the same anymore. You feel that you are tightening the pelvic floor too much, or on the contrary you hardly feel the stimulation. It's physiology. And perhaps a good reason to keep more than one ball on hand.
Pelvic floor under the influence of the cycle
Pelvic floor is a complex structure of ligaments and muscles that hold the organs of the small pelvis in place. It reacts to hormones, movement and psychological stress. Therefore, it naturally changes during the menstrual cycle.
Before menstruationwhen estrogen levels drop, the tissues tend to be softer and more sensitive. The pelvic floor can therefore bear the pressure harder. Around ovulation, on the other hand, it tends to be more stable and firmer. It often responds better to greater load and more pronounced stimulation.
Similar changes also occur in other periods of life: during pregnancy, after childbirth or in menopause, when hormonal fluctuations affect the quality of ligaments and muscles. The pelvic floor is not just "strong" or "weak". Its only constant is variability. Our customer Lucie summed it up beautifully: "It doesn't have to be like that for everyone, but I feel a big difference in tightening and loosening during the cycle. Some of my friends alternate between two bra sizes depending on the phase of the cycle - I alternate the balls. Because sometimes the Classic is just too much, other times the Light is too small for me... and this way I have the opportunity to work with it."
Take it easy before your period
The lighter version of our balls has a firm place among our customers. For example, after childbirth or a gynaecological procedure, when it is better to start strengthening the pelvic floor carefully, gradually. This does not mean, however, that we designed the Light version of the balls - the size of which is the same to the millimeter as the Classic model - only for beginners.
Model Light with its 41 grams will also serve experienced users perfectly. For example, just before menstruation, when the body prefers a gentler treatment before exercise. The lighter weight allows the area to be activated without unnecessary strain. It supports blood flow, perception and muscle engagement, but with respect.
During ovulation, try more
At times when the pelvic floor is more stable and ready for greater involvement, a higher weight may make sense Classicballs, which are 65 grams.
Typically, these are the days around ovulation, when the body better tolerates more intense stimulation and often he reacts to it naturally. A higher load can support the activation of the pelvic floor muscles and their blood supply, which plays a role in the sensitivity of the entire area. In addition, it is during this phase of the cycle that many women develop a greater appetite for sex, which you can support more intensively with the help of heavier balls.
Alternation is an option, not a necessity
We would not like to make you feel that you have to "add at all costs". Rather, based on our personal observations and the experiences of other customers, we come up with an offer: listen more carefully to your body and respond to how you feel. So that the strengthening of the pelvic floor and the pleasant feelings associated with wearing the Venus balls are not only nice, but always the best.
Perhaps you were looking for the right option when choosing. We also tried to support you in this, for example with the article How to choose Venus balls: a guide for beginners and advanced.
But now we feel the need to remind you that the female body works on the principle of endless transformation. What is pleasant one week may be against you the next. This observation is also shared by our community on Instagram, which inspired us to write the article. It was from this experience that our new spring limited edition was born: Duo pack of Venus balls. You will find Light and Classic balls in one package. Duo pack has already proven itself for us with menstrual cups, when you also want to choose the size spontaneously according to the current strength of bleeding. It's the same with balls. Sometimes lightness makes sense, sometimes weight. And it can change over days, weeks, and months.
Why having both options on hand is practical
Recognize yourself? So you might be pleased to know that the mentioned Duo pack of Venus Balls is now on sale. To familiarize yourself with them, you will find the Light ones in white and the Classic ones in red. That way, you'll know them right away without having to hide two more covers. You can find them in our e-shop for 3 weeks for 3990 CZK. Naturally, we also think about customers who already own the Classic version and now want the Light ones. We have temporarily reduced them - almost by a thousand - to an irresistible CZK 1,980. And we hope that even though you already have the greatest classic among the Venus balls, it motivates you to take even more care of yourself and treat yourself to the possibility of alternating between the two variants.
By the way, if you like inside jokes: the magic number 1980 is no accident. It expresses the year of birth of our founder Anna Marešová, who fell in love with Venus balls the most out of all the products. The year of birth will never change, but this special price tag will, so don't hesitate :-)
If, on the other hand, you feel that even the Classic version is not enough for you some days, we remind the heaviest balls Noir Heavy in elegant black. It weighs 102 grams, so the more experienced among you will enjoy it. As with the other variants, however, the way you feel with the balls in your body is more important than the number on the paper.
