Yoni Egg

How to use your Yoni Egg

Wear your Yoni Egg during everyday life or during sports (e.g. yoga or running) for a few hours, overnight or train your pelvic floor with special exercises to strengthen the vaginal muscles. 

The exercises with the Yoni Egg consist of contractions of the pelvic floor muscles, so-called Kegel exercises. The weight and resistance of the Yoni Egg intensifies the Kegel exercises, which are traditionally performed without weight.

It is important to relax the pelvic floor muscles after each contraction so that the muscle can regenerate and build up. Also be careful not to hold your breath during the contractions.

You can do the Kegel exercises standing, lying or sitting. If you cannot hold the egg, try the exercises lying down first. Experienced users can do the exercises in squat or lunge. 

Method 1: Contract your pelvic floor muscles for 5 seconds and then relax the muscles. Once you can contract for more than 5 seconds, you can extend the contraction time up to 15 seconds. An exercise session lasts 5 minutes.

Method 2: Contract and hold the pelvic floor muscles for 1 second and then relax. These short contractions will help you to get a more precise feel for your pelvic floor and vaginal muscles. An exercise session lasts 5 minutes. 

For an intensive Kegel training combine both methods for a 5-10 minute session. You should not train actively for longer than 10 minutes, as this can cause your muscles to become overtired and sore. Better to train regularly than too long at once! 

Tip 1: For more resistance you can attach a string to the Yoni Egg in addition to the Kegel exercises and pull it back slightly with your hand during contraction. However, do not pull so tightly that the Yoni Egg comes out. 

Tip 2: You can also hang a weight (max. 150g) on a yoni egg and do the Kegel exercises while standing. For example, you can carry a Yoni Egg S or M, and attach a Jade L, as this is particularly heavy due to its high density. 

Crystal Care

Wash your Yoni Egg thoroughly before and after each use.  

Use warm, but not boiling water and a mild, unscented soap. Let the Yoni Egg air dry after cleaning. Take special care that the small hole, which is meant for the string, is clean. 

Do not use Sterillium for cleaning. This could damage the stone and your mucous membranes and lead to painful inflammation.

It is a good idea to energetically clean your Yoni Egg before you use it for the first time. The best way is to put it in a bowl of sea salt overnight. You can also use an incense like sage, Palo Santo or sweet grass instead. With regular practice, it is important to energetically cleanse the yoni egg every few days to avoid reintroducing dissolved negative energies. 

Tip: Full moon cleansing ritual 
As a monthly ritual you can put your crystals out into the moonlight during the full moon. The energies of the full moon work especially well to purify negative energies from your crystal and recharge it positively again. Put the crystals out overnight, if possible on a natural surface such as earth, stone or wood. Set yourself an intention for the cleansing. Clean the crystals with warm water before the next application.
