  • Publication number: 20030040688
    Abstract: A massage ball (10) has an outer hollow ball (12) and an inner ball arranged freely movably therein. An massage device made of a plurality such massage balls (10) is also provided. Such massage devices are introduced into the vagina of the woman and are used to massage and consequently train or strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor. The massaging effect occurs due to the fact that the massage balls (10) connected to one another move in relation to one another and the inner balls (13) also move within the outer balls (12). To avoid the undesired generation of noise, the inside of the outer hollow ball and/or the outside of the inner ball (13) are provided with a coating (21, 23) consisting of a soft material, preferably an elastomer.
