How long to leave kegal balls in for?

I bought some kegal balls a few months ago and used them a little and then I got super busy and I kept forgetting to use them. I am wanting to use them now as my life has gotten slower and I am able to do more and spend more time at home.

Question is, how long can I keep them in at the maximum without hurting myself? I’ve seen mixed answers such as 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, 6 hours and I am confused.

For context, I am a 20 year old woman and the weight that seems to work for me the most is 90g.

I heard that it wasn’t good to try to wee while wearing them - something about opposing urges to squeeze out urine while holding the balls in - so I go for the hours between wees… maybe 4-ish? That feels about right for me.

I would say, as with everything, take it slow. Start with 15 mins and work your way up. It should never be uncomfortable or painful.

It depends how you are using them. If you are just popping them in and leaving them, technically there isn’t a time limit but your body will tell you if it’s not liking them being in there. Going from nothing to almost constant wear can affect your muscles negatively so moderation is key.

If you are actively doing kegel exercises around them though you don’t really need to use them for more than around 10 minutes.
