Precious stones are not always meant to adorn our fingers. Sometimes they are much more useful housed in our bodies. Proof of this is with the yoni egg, this small egg-shaped stone known for its benefits on female intimacy, both on a physical and spiritual level. Isabelle Gace, clinical sexologist and couples sex therapist, guides us on the use of this surprising and particularly effective object to reconnect with one’s sexual energy.
The yoni egg, a powerful tool for reconnecting with yourself
The yoni egg, this small ovoid-shaped precious or semi-precious stone, does not have just one function. Its use can first be preventive and allow the woman to know or recognize her body. “The egg will raise awareness of the genital tract, but especially the muscles of the perineum“, explains Isabelle Gace. This tool has been known for millennia. At the time, it was passed from woman to woman before this ritual was lost in the West. “In Imperial China, it was reserved for the emperor’s concubines, they used it as a weapon of power“, says our expert. Introducing it made it possible to tone the perineum muscle and obtain better control over ejaculation and rejection of the penis.
This object, which is not a sex toy, allows you to manage different sensations in the vagina, anus and clitoris. “We will better oxygenate the muscles of the perineum, relaxation occurs in the pelvis, so this improves relationships.“, confirms Isabelle Gace. The woman thus becomes aware of the sensations in her perineum and will seek to regain these sensations during intercourse. The yoni egg is also useful for women who suffer from certain disorders such as vaginismus, which is often linked to a phobia. “This egg will help tone this muscle and tell you that you can insert something into your vagina without there being any risk to yourself.“, adds the sexologist.
How to choose and use your precious stone?
Given the extent of the advantages linked to this precious little object, how to choose it? Isabelle Gace first recommends not buying it on the internet. “You have to touch it, see if there is any porosity, because if it is poorly polished it can cause infections like vaginosis“, explains our expert. It is also important to be present at the time of purchase, because this stone also has spiritual effects. “We must choose a stone that speaks to us and with which there is a resonance, we generally feel attracted to a stone depending on what we need in our life“, explains Isabelle Gace, who emphasizes the importance of intuition. She explains that the color of the stone also has an influence. Rose quartz symbolizes love, calm, and can be useful for finding softness or appeasement, while green jade is more on the side of feminine power and implies the search for a connection on the body.
Yoni eggs come in several sizes: small, large, medium. For beginners, it is recommended to use a large egg, while paying attention to its weight. “A person who is familiar with this tool can take a medium size and an expert can take a smaller size“, summarizes Isabelle Gace. She advises initially to stay in bed after inserting the egg to be calm and relaxed, before considering taking it outside of your home. For the duration of use, it depends on each person. “Contrary to what some people think, you don’t keep it on all day. There is no limited time: when he expels himself, it means that we have worked well“, indicates the sexologist.
Then be sure to clean the egg with soap and water to disinfect it after each use. If the stone is full of benefits, Isabelle Gace nevertheless warns and reminds that it should not be used during menstruation, at the risk of developing bacteria, nor during sexual intercourse. If you want to try this practice, contact a sexologist, a midwife or a physiotherapist. “We are really in a process of reconnection, watching a tutorial on the internet is not enough“, concludes the expert.
