Firstly, let me clarify what a Yoni is. Yoni, in the Indian Sanskrit language, means “Sacred Temple” and refers to a woman’s vagina. In my humble opinion, this is a far more beautiful word to use compared to vagina, which literally means “sheath for a mans sword”.

A yoni egg is an egg-shaped stone or crystal used to insert inside the yoni to strengthen and tone the entire pelvic region - the pelvic floor muscles, the lower abdomen, the urogenital diaphragms and even the lower back.

It works as a weight resistance tool to use whilst doing your “Kegel exercises”, which are pelvic floor pulses or contractions all women should do, especially after childbirth. There is plenty of research now to suggest that it’s best to use a weight for doing your Kegels, rather than squeezing the walls of the vagina together with no weight resistance at all.

The yoni egg practice is not complex. There are essentially three ways to wear your Yoni Egg:

1. A daily 15 minute "Yoni Egg Yoga" practice - AKA simply doing your kegels (pelvic floor exercises) in a series of exercises. We include three exercises in our brochure when you purchase. Also make sure you join our Facebook group for our instructional videos. https://www.facebook.com/groups/yonipalace/

2. Inserting the Yoni Egg and simply walking around the house! The weight of the egg and the gravity will create resistance, meaning there will be benefits for the pelvic floor muscles even if you don’t do your kegels (squeezes). Just make sure you wear your underwear in case it falls out.

3. Sleeping with it in. Some women insert the egg and it falls straight out! This is totally normal, particularly if you’ve had children. If this is the case, start with having it in while you’re horizontal, sitting or sleeping. The muscles will begin to gain memory & familiarity with having a weight internally.

How do I put it in?

If you need to, use some lubricant or coconut oil to assist with an easeful insertion.

If you have a drilled Yoni Egg, thread the floss through the drilled hole and tie a knot. If you’re nervous about the string breaking, simply thread through another length of floss (don’t panic - it will ALWAYS come out and will NOT get stuck!)

Place the larger end of the egg at the entrance of your vagina and gently insert about a fingers length.

It will go all the way inside and rest in the cavity between the Gspot and the Cervix.

Yes! No matter what the age, it will help whatever phase of life you’re in (my 83 grandmother wears hers after 20 years of incontinence!).

We have testimonials from women in their early 20s who used the egg consistently and were able to reach an orgasm during sex, as well as women in their 70s who say it assisted their weak bladder and prolapse. Your intention for using the egg will also have an impact on your experience.

This is a debate among practitioners. Some experts say 20 minutes maximum, other experts say 24 hours to a few days is totally OK!

What I say is: Listen to your vagina! She will tell you when it needs to come out. 

As a starting point we suggest with using your Yoni Egg for 15 - 30 minutes. This will help you sense how it feels in your body.

We suggest daily or at least three times a week to experience ultimate benefits.

If you use it once a week or once a month you may not experience much change in your pelvic floor, orgasm, sensitivity etc.

Just like you lift weights at the gym to build your bicep muscles — similarly it’s recommended to use a weight inside the yoni if you’re wanting to strengthen this area. The question should be, why would you do your kegel exercises and not use a weight?

The vagina is just like any other muscle in the body and just because it’s a sexual organ, doesn't mean we should deny it the opportunity to be strong, toned and healthy.

To build up the strength and sensations in the yoni, it’s important to use a weight for resistance. However, just as you can over-do it at the gym - you can also over-train your yoni. So be gentle, and start with 3 days a week.

Imagine if you were to feel a tampon inside you all the time? It would get uncomfortable after a while!

The 70gram polished egg is no different, despite it being a bit heavier!

A lot of women expect fire works once they insert the egg, which is not aways the case (but also not always not the case).

It’s normal to insert the egg and not feel a single thing. Why?

Because most women are quite numb internally due to a multitude of factors:

lack of vaginal nerve endings (wearing the yoni egg helps create this!)sexual trauma stored in the cellsoperations have caused scar tissuenot doing your kegel muscle training (pelvic floor exercises)childbirth scar tissue

Some women, on the other hand feel A LOT!! So much so they need to take it out after 10 minutes. Everyone is so different - so listen to your vaginal voice.

If you’re a beginner, we suggest starting with a drilled yoni egg first, that way you can thread through the floss and pull it out.

If you get an undrilled egg, or your string breaks. Don’t panic sister! You don’t need to go to the ER. Here are some ways you can get it out:

Squat down and insert your finger to get it out. It may take a little while to reach it and draw it out but it’s entirely possible!Go to the toilet and bare down like you are going to do a wee or a poo. Catch it! If it falls out, don’t flush the toilet otherwise it will be gone forever… get a glove and retrieve it. Keep in warm water with apple cider for 10 mins to clean.Squat down and cough.Get your partner to get a finger inside you and scoop it out.Get your best friend to come over and insert a finger to scoop it out.Get your neighbour to come over and insert a finger to scoop it out (just kidding!).

Just like wearing a tampon, your vagina holds the egg inside naturally without needing constant contraction, particularly if you haven’t given birth.

If you have given birth and have a weak pelvic floor, you may need to consciously contract the pelvic floor to keep the egg in - hence why you would only use for 15 minutes (if this was the case).

We suggest you not to wear your yoni egg during pregnancy unless you have worn it consistently before pregnancy.

I am noticing that when a woman get pregnant, all of a sudden she wants to work on their pelvic floor (for obvious reasons!). And it’s not too late to do so, however it’s much better to start your pelvic floor practice NOW before getting pregnant.

If you are reading this and you are pregnant, I recommend just doing your pelvic floor exercises (squeeze, release) without an egg weight inside you.

Unless you get a loud and clear YES from your vagina, I would encourage you to wait to use your Yoni Egg after childbirth or C-Section. And wait 6 weeks to use it internally.

When you’re pregnant, it’s best to not introduce new practices and you don’t want to risk too much weight or energy in your vagina or womb during pregnancy.

The yoni egg practice is meant to be a gentle, self-loving practice - not a nerve wracking, fear-infusing exercise worrying: “Eeek will this thing get stuck or ever come out”.

Firstly, it cannot get “stuck”. Sure it can stay up there for a while, but it can’t get stuck and lodged there forever! (So don’t worry - no trips to emergency are necessary).

And secondly, it will always come out.

Anatomically, inside the vagina we have the cervix as a gateway to our uterus, meaning nothing can go beyond the cervix.

We always recommend beginners using a drilled egg to start with along with our un-waxed, un-minted dental floss.

If you’re paranoid, string your yoni egg twice with double he amount of floss. To retrieve it, simply squat down in the shower, pull on the string and the egg will come out.

Sometimes a little bit of wee, ejaculate (amrita) or creamy vaginal discharge may even come out - this is normal. And it may depend on the time of your cycle. Ask anything like this in our group Yoni Pleasure Palace. 

Before attempting to use your Yoni Egg after it has been damaged, be sure to thoroughly inspect the egg to ensure it hasn't been damaged beyond repair.

If you have merely chipped your egg, run your finger or tongue over the chip to check the sharpness. If there is no sharpness and you are comfortable with the sensation then it is generally safe to continue using however this is totally personal preference.

If the chip is sharp and causes discomfort, do not use the Yoni Egg internally anymore.

Crystal yoni eggs are not to be boiled as they may crack under pressure or ruin their crystalline structure and integrity.

Despite what some practitioners share, we suggest washing your Yoni Eggs in warm water with a dash of apple cider vinegar, lavender oil or a gentle organic soap wash (nothing too harsh).

The only stone that can whitstand boiling hot water is Nephrite Jade and even still, I don’t encourage you to boil this stone despite its density.

And whatever you do, do not insert a hot egg into your vagina. Wait for it to cool down until it’s luke warm.

Using yoni eggs have loads of benefits, including:

Increases connection with the Yoni (so many women are "cut off" from the waist down)

Increases sensation during sex / self pleasure

Revitalises nerve-endings in the vaginaImproves overall life-force energy or “chi” in the body

Boosts sexual energy levels and awakens the libidoHelps train the vagina for childbirth and recover the muscles post-childbirth

Increases wetness and lubrication (yes, yes, YES!)

Helps to prevent prolapse whereby the pelvic organs collapse into the vagina due to atrophy and non-use.

Relieves incontinence (weak bladder/accidentally peeing)

Balances hormones by increasing blood flow to the area, which contribute to youthfulness

Heightens orgasmic potential and able to access a variety of orgasms

Helps to stay grounded in body and brings awareness to the yoni, womb and entire pelvic band

Improves overall health, happiness and wellness - physically and spiritually - as the yoni egg focuses on the place in the body with the most Chi (life force energy).

Generally speaking, a medium size yoni egg is ideal for most women who haven't given birth. So to reduce confusion about sizes, we recommend most women to start with a medium.

However sometimes a “one-size” approach doesn’t “fit all”.

So if you have given birth or maybe you haven’t had sexual intercourse yet, it might be nice to purchase a set of three (small, medium and large), that way you can explore the different sizes and what feels right for you on any given day. For example, a medium might be too small for you to hold inside (and may keep dropping out), so you might prefer to use a large egg to begin with (the vagina has to contract less to hold it in). If you are very small internally, a virgin or have a condition like vaginismus, you may prefer to begin with a small egg, making it easier to insert and hold inside.

This is an intuitive choice.

However if you’re not so good at making intuitive decisions and you’ve had our shop window open on your computer for weeks now, go for the traditionally used Yoni Egg - Nephrite Jade.

Jade is the strongest, most dense and healing stone to use as a beginner. It’s heavy, won’t break and is stronger than steal meaning it won’t break if you drop it.

Unlike Rose Quartz or Black obsidian, Jade will likely not bring too much raw emotion to the surface as it’s a very gentle and healing semi-precious gemstone.

Over 5000 years ago, the Ancient Chinese civilisation regarded the sexual organs as the centre of one's health. If this area of your body was active and healthy, your entire body was active and healthy.

The Chinese considered the Yoni to be the place from which one can channel their 'chi' (life force energy) to their higher Chakras (energy centres in the body) in the aim of enlightenment. The process was thought to transmute their sexual energy into higher spiritual energy thus allowing them to get closer to God and feel happier, healthier and full of vitality.

The Jade Egg practice is an ancient Taoist practice and dates back to Imperial China when it was kept a secret by the Empress in the Royal Palace. The Queen and her concubines practiced using the Jade Egg to strengthen the power of their vaginas not only to impress the King sexually, but also to heighten their spirituality and transform & transmute their Chi. This brought them more peace, health, youth and essentially helped them live for longer.

The Jade Egg practice was only taught to the most privileged women of the royal courts. So how lucky are we to have access to such ancient techniques and be able to do anytime, anywhere!?

There are four things to remember when caring for your egg:

1. When you receive your egg, I suggest washing it in warm water with organic, chemical free soap, vinegar or essential oil (something like lavender or tea tree). This will wash away any bacteria and sterilise the egg or wand. Be sure not to put the crystal under direct boiling hot water as this may force it to crack. Warm soapy water is fine to use in between uses.

2. Regularly energetically cleanse your egg or wand. Crystals absorb energy, so it’s important to neutralise the crystal by doing one or more of the following techniques:

Leave over night under a full moon (even if it’s cloudy).Rinse or soak in salty water (ideally the ocean).Leave in salt crystals over night.Smudge with your sage stick.Leave in the sunshine (not too long or it might fade).Wrap in cotton and bury in the earth.

3. To maximise your use out of the crystal, set your intention into the stone each time before using it. Crystals are natural entities from the earth and can be programmed with a heart felt intention. Simply close your eyes, place your crystal in your hands or against your heart, and feel into an authentic intention that rises up for you. Then detach from that intention.

4. Keep in a safe place on your alter or in your bedroom. Ideally don't keep in the bathroom or anywhere where people can pick it up and touch it. This is your sacred stone, for no one else to touch.

Our crystals are sourced from all over the world, depending on where the crystal deposits are.

For example, our Black Obsidian is sourced from Brazil, our Rose Quartz from Madagascar, our Nephrite Jade from Canada.

Once the crystals are mined from these locations, they are then sent to our exceptional staff in China and shaped into an egg shape or wand shape. Our suppliers do not use any chemicals, BPAs, phthalates, glues or dyes in the process and the crystals are 100% natural and raw from Mother Earth.

Basically there is a lot of "crap" out there on the market, which we discovered when we first started stocking Yoni Eggs in 2014, so it is very important you find a reliable retailer who knows their products, crystals and suppliers well! I have made this my hobby and am very passionate about offering quality products at an affordable price.

We have had the same reliable, trusted supplier for almost 4 years, and they demonstrate and deliver ethically produced products consistently.

The rectum is very good at swallowing things you put into it (even if you use a drilled Yoni Egg with string), and given time, these things will move deeper and deeper into your body. That’s why all good anal sex toys have flared bases which can’t enter the anus. Yoni eggs don’t have a base, so once they’ve gone in, there’s every chance they’ll get sucked deeper in and require a trip to the hospital to remove. Yes, even if you opt for a drilled large Yoni Egg with a long piece of string.

It is recommended to consult your doctor first. As a rule of thumb, the large majority of doctors will tell you to wait at least six weeks before any sort of intercourse or penetration into the vagina, objects included. (You can wear the Yoni Egg inside your underwear or externally using our *Macrame Necklace during this time.) After you've been cleared and healed, however, you can build up your pelvic floor muscles again.

If you’ve had a c-section delivery: please understand that a woman’s uterus takes about six weeks to return to normal size and for her cervix to close back up. The cervix needs to be closed in order for you to use Yoni Eggs or any penetrative activities, hence please wait until you have been given the “green light” by your doctor at your six week postpartum checkup. 

Our line of pleasure wands are hand-crafted, phallic-shaped designs for women who want to transform their masturbation practice into a self-loving, self-pleasure practice, infused with crystal healing. 

The pleasure wand is glassy & smooth in texture and illustrious & sleek in appearance. Made from pure, raw crystal from Mother Earth each wand is completely unique and holds a special vibration, which you will receive when using the crystal externally (body massaging) or internally (self pleasuring).

The pleasure wand is a great substitute for plastic, rubber, silicon or latex dildos or vibrators, which only desensitise our most intimate places.  The wand is completely free of toxic BPAs and phthalates (unlike some plastic sex toys), which are known to play a factor in disrupting the endocrine system and may play a part in cancer and infertility.

The pleasure wand helps women connect deeper with their Yoni (Indian sanskrit for ‘Sacred Temple’), increase their sensitivity within and witness the vibration of crystal energy, rather than the physical vibrations. 

Women who self pleasure with a crystal pleasure wand will begin to experience more health, sensation and sensitivity in their yoni. The wand doesn't “vibrate” like a typical sex toy. It does, however hold a special vibration which replenishes your intimate area with new energy, removing old, stale or stagnant energy.

Unlike most sex toys it wont desensitise the area with harsh, vigorous vibrations on your most sensitive, intimate areas. It’s a much smoother, gentler and conscious experience - albeit an item made out of something as hard and dense as crystal.

Using the pleasure wand will rejuvenate the area physically, sexually and spiritually.

These following four steps can help inspire you how to use your pleasure wand: 

1.  Wash your wand under warm/hot water (not boiling hot) to remove any bacteria. You can also add some organic soap, apple cider vinegar or an essential oil like lavender oil, which will help clean the wand. Remember to clean your wand after each use and store in a safe, sacred space where no one else has access to it. Your alter is a nice place to store it! 

2. Crystals hold and store energy, so regularly energetically cleanse your wand by placing under the full moon, or in the sunshine during the day, or rinse in salt water (the ocean is the best!). This cleanses the wand of any energy it has already accumulated and helps to reset it to a neutral vibration.

3. Set your intention into your wand before each use. Spend 30 seconds to a few minutes holding the wand to your heart (or any Chakra) and tune into an intention you would like to cultivate during your self pleasure practice. The intention can be as simple as slowing down, breathing, being present, sending more self-love into your being, connecting to your true desire, compassion, forgiveness, worthiness, abundance – whatever you are seeking – for yourself, your relationship, your partner, or someone who is in need of love, or healing support.

4. As for how to use your wand, basically use your imagination! If you need to use lubricant, I suggest having a jar of coconut oil beside the bed to make the sensation even more heightened. You can use the wand by gently and slowly inserting in and out of your vagina, as you would a regular dildo, but doing so with an affirmation or intention - i.e. breathing in love, exhale peace. You can also use the wand by holding it inside the Yoni and gently squeezing the pelvic floor muscles to increase blood flow and sensation.  Another suggestion is to allow your yoni to invite the wand inside and allow the walls of your vagina to draw the wand deeper inside; this will greatly strengthen your yoni power, which will inevitably infuse into other parts of your life. A nice touch is to warm the wand up in the shower or bath with you and insert into the Yoni; the wand will naturally warm to your body temperature or to the water you rinse it under. It's also really nice for your partner to use the wand on you - this magnifies and amplifies its natural energy and the love/passion your partner has for you!

All of our glass toys are made of 100% borosilicate glass - This type of glass is commonly known for its superior quality which makes it resistant to thermal shock. Borosilicate glass is medical grade, lead free and non toxic which makes it body safe and hypoallergenic.

Glass products made of borosilicate glass can stand extreme temperatures making it perfect for temperature play (can be heated or cooled).

According to the Mohs hardness Scale, the hardness of glass is borosilicate 3.39.

Whilst our glass wands and items are completely non-toxic the decomposition rate of glass is none. There are no microorganisms on planet Earth that are able to break down glass materials (especially borosilicate glass), and since it takes thousands of years, there is not a single glass bottle on the planet that has even gotten close to decomposing.This is borosilicate glass, it isn't a crystal wand. Sadly, it won't break down in the earth if buried.

All YPP glass wands are borosilicate glass which can NOT be recycled.

Borosilicate glass can withstand a working temperature of 268°C/515°F and only melts at 1648°C/3,000°F. This makes it tricky to recycle at normal glass recycling furnaces, as their temperatures cannot melt the borosilicate.

Remember to throw them in your normal curbside bin, not the recycling bin because putting in the recycling bin will contaminate the batch of glass ready for recycling.
