Ami is the French word for “friend”. The Je Joue Ami from Babeland is aptly named as many women will find it to be a an excellent friend.
 
 

The Je Joue Ami is a three step set of kegel exercisors carried by Babeland. Kegels are exercises that work the PC or Pubococcygeus muscle that forms the pelvic floor in both women and men. As the PC muscle is involved with urinary control and orgasm, it’s important that it be nice and strong. One way to ensure this is by using kegel balls, a form of kegel exercisor.

There are many kegel balls on the market, but the Je Joue Ami is unique. It is a set of three kegel balls of varying weights and sizes designed to help you train your PC muscle by working up from the Ami 1 to the Ami 3.

Je Joue Ami kegel balls are simply gorgeous. They are coated with a very soft, smooth silicone that is velvety to the touch in a beautiful smoky plum color. The retrieval cord is made of a stretchy silicone in a lighter purple color and is attached to the Ami balls with a light purple hard plastic. It’s truly wonderful the retrieval cords of the Je Joue Ami are silicone. One thing that has kept me from purchasing kegel balls in the past has been nylon cords which can harbor bacteria. The silicone and hard plastic are both phthalate-free and non-porous, so no little bacteria can hide anywhere. As you can sterilize silicone, you can theoretically share your Je Joue Ami with your girlfriends, but I’ve a feeling you’ll want to keep them all to yourself. I know my cleaning instructions for silicone say it is boilable. However, Je Joue’s instructions say to boil the Ami balls for a maximum of 20 seconds, so please bear this in mind.

I find very little drag with the silicone of the Je Joue Ami balls and rarely use lubricant with them. If you do, be sure to use water-based lubricant as silicone-based lubes may interact with and damage the delightfully silky plum silicone of the Je Joue Ami.
 
  
 
As with other Je Joue products, the Ami packaging is lovely. First is the outer box with the words “Je Joue” and the logo on the front and images of the Ami balls on the side. It is somewhat discreet, though the back does say “The pleasurable way to tone your PC muscle” in very small print. Inside this box is the storage box of hard board which closes with a ribbon tie and is perfectly discreet. Unless they know what Je Joue is, no one will have a clue what’s in the box. Inside sit the three Ami balls in a molded plastic tray with signage designating Ami 1, Ami 2, and Ami 3. Underneath the tray, which easily lifts out, is the manufacturer’s guide to the Je Joue Ami in five languages. The guide is helpful because it not only gives you the balls’ specs, but also instructions on lubricant, cleaning, and how to do kegel exercises with the Ami.

Specs:
Ami 1: The Ami 1 is 1.41″ long without the cord, 1.25″ in diameter, and weighs 1.65 ounces.
It is a single, large round ball with an internal ball. This is your starting point.

Ami 2: The Ami 2 is 3.14″ long without the cord, 1.25″ in diameter, and weighs 2.75 ounces. It consists of two medium size balls with internal balls. The silicone between the two balls is quite squishy. When you want more of a challenge, move on to the Ami 2.

Ami 3: The Ami 3 is 2.75″ long without the cord, 1.10″ in diameter, and weighs 3.73 ounces. It is has two smaller balls with internal balls. This is the most challenging of the three Ami for advanced users.

I’ve read that some women find the comfort level of kegel balls changes throughout the month depending on their cycle. While that doesn’t seem to be the case for me, the Je Joue Ami balls would be a good choice for women with this issue. You’d have three options to choose from. I’ve also heard women with a tilted uterus find many kegel balls too long. I have a tilted uterus and do not have this experience with the any of the three Ami.

I find the Ami very interesting to wear. I followed Je Joue’s suggestion and started with the Ami 1. It felt strange at first, disconcerting and not quite right. I was constantly surprised when the internal ball moved around inside me and I felt slightly like I needed to pee in the beginning. I got acclimated and began to really enjoy it. I’m always happy to clench down on something.

The Ami 2 is probably as long as I can comfortably handle, what with my titled uterus and all, and all three Ami balls feel different inside me. I really feel the difference in their shapes, sizes, and weights. Each one provides a new sensation based on how the internal balls move around inside me.
 
 

 
I know some people find kegel balls a turn on. I really don’t but I am very well lubricated when I remove them so there is definitely something going on. I do enjoy the fullness and the feeling of those internal balls moving around inside me. While you can hear the movement a bit when the Je Joue Ami are outside the body, they are completely silent when inside. I notice a significantly empty feeling after removing the Je Joue Ami. I miss them when they’re not there!

Je Joue Ami Pros:
• Different sizes and weights
• Silent internal balls
• Silicone
• Price

Je Joue Ami Cons:
• None

With three balls of different weights and sizes, it’s very likely at least one will be comfortable even if you can’t use all three. Rather than buying multiple kegel balls looking for the right fit, you can simply buy Je Joue Ami and find your perfect fit within the set. This make Je Joue Ami a great option for many women.
