While walking between patient rooms, she stopped abruptly as she felt herself lose one of her ben wa balls. It slipped down the pant leg of her loose fitting scrub pants onto the carpted floor of the hospital. She could only watch helplessly as it rolled away from her. Luckily, she wasn't in the company of any patients or co-workers at the time of this unfortunate spectacle but the visual remains timeless. The panic she must have felt as she scrambled to recover the silver ball rolling, rolling away. Your use of ben wa balls is something you may be comfortable sharing with your partner or a very dear friend, but it isn't exactly knowledge one would like to share with co-workers.
This is a story I've heard my friend retell several times but it continues to crack me up and remind me to leave the ben wa balls out of the workplace. She does report that the ben wa balls have been extremely effective in restoring strength to her kegel muscles despite this traumatic experience.
