Jade Yoni Eggs

Yes, my jade eggs are sideways drilled.

A sideways drilled egg has a hole drilled through the narrow end that you can put a string through, allowing you to pull the egg out when you are done with your practice. Drilled eggs can also be used without a string. Having a string allows you to attach a weight to do weightlifting exercises, or resistance training by pulling on the string. With the drilled egg, the first thing you'll want to do before practicing is to string it. I recommend using unwaxed unflavored dental floss because it is hygienic and disposable. You can also use a silk string as an alternative.

My eggs are medium sized and most women will only ever need the medium size.

The medium size eggs (43mm x 30mm) are the best size to start with.

The smaller the egg, the harder it is to feel it. Though larger eggs are easier to feel, they are also heavier, and harder to keep inside and are generally only for immediate postpartum women.

Small eggs are not for petite women, but for advanced practitioners who have mastered control of their pelvic floor muscles and wish to advance their practice.

There are many well-known doctors, gynecologists and doulas who endorse yoni egg practice. To name a few:

– OBGYN Dr. Christiane Northrup, NY Times bestselling author of “Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom” and one of the most well-known gynecologists recommends yoni egg practice. She finds proper yoni egg exercises to be superior to doing kegels. Read more HERE

– Kelly Brogan MD, NY Times Bestselling Author, recommends yoni eggs. You can read her article featuring yoni eggs HERE.

– Paula Mallis, founder of WMN Space, doula and fertility expert endorses yoni eggs:

“I am a fan of the yoni egg! Being open to exploring with this crystal gem gives a woman an opportunity to be more connected and attuned with her (yoni) body. I love all the benefits of the yoni egg from sexual pleasure to strengthening the vaginal walls. As a doula I recommend that my clients explore the yoni egg after giving birth.” Read more HERE

I know of one gynecologist who spoke against yoni eggs in her online blog, Dr. Jen Gunter back in 2017, sparking a controversy around the subject of yoni eggs. Since then, 99% of the articles online that caution against yoni eggs all quote the same article written by Dr. Gunter.

I believe that most of those who advise against yoni eggs have never tried the practice for themselves and therefore don’t fully understand the methods or benefits of using them.

If you have an IUD, ask your doctor.

Many women who use an IUD also choose to practice with a yoni egg. If you choose to use a yoni egg and you have an IUD, you do so at your own discretion. Consult a health care professional prior to engaging in this practice.

DO NOT practice vaginal weight lifting or yoni egg resistance exercises with a string if you have an IUD – this can reduce its effectiveness as a contraceptive device, as well as create tears in the walls of your uterus.

Do not use a jade yoni egg while pregnant. Just like any new exercise routine, you don’t want to introduce anything new in your pregnancy that could stir up energies or tissue release that could create contractions and compromise your pregnancy. If you have already developed a strong jade yoni egg practice and practiced regularly for 6 months prior to conception, you may be an exception. Still in these cases I recommend only the very passive, yin yoni exercises, and to consult your midwife or health care team. The jade yoni egg practice is a wonderful practice to embark on after you give birth and your health practitioner confirmes that it is now safe to do so.

Women who have any type of internal infection (cervical, uterine or ovarian inflammation) or a fever are advised not to practice with a jade yoni egg until the symptoms have passed. Also do not practice if open sores or blisters are present.

Please do not use a jade yoni egg if you have a bladder, vaginal or rectal prolapse, unless you were instructed to do so by a health care practitioner.
