The choice of the Yoni egg
What is the difference between perforated and unperforated eggs?
A perforated egg has a hole through which you can insert a string for easier removal. It also allows you to attach a weight for advanced exercises. Perforated eggs can also be used without a string. They are an excellent option for beginners who want to ensure they can easily remove their Yoni egg.
If you choose a pierced egg, the first step is to attach the string. At The Zen Shop , our pierced Yoni eggs include a string. If you wish to change it, you can use unwaxed dental floss, which is hygienic and disposable, or fishing line as an alternative.
Practical tip:
- If you prefer an egg without perforations, consider that these are easier to clean after each use.
- The Yoni egg is not just a Kegel exercise tool; it's a sacred object that aids in physical and emotional healing and transformation. Learn to listen to your body and trust the process.
What size Yoni egg should I start with?
The smaller the egg, the harder it is to perceive and control. Generally speaking:
- Women who have given birth or are over 50 should start with a large egg.
- Beginners without these characteristics usually find a medium-sized egg (40×25 mm) suitable.
- Small eggs are ideal for advanced practitioners who have mastered muscle control and wish to progress in their practice.
Which crystal to choose?
Choose the crystal that most intuitively appeals to you. At The Zen Shop , you can explore photos of Yoni eggs and read their descriptions to find the one that's right for you.
If you have several and don't know where to start:
- It begins with jade , according to Taoist teachings.
- Next, use black obsidian to work on your "dark side".
- Finally, use rose quartz to open your heart.

How do I clean my Yoni egg?
Before first use:
-
Inspect it to make sure it has no external damage.
- Internal cracks are normal in stones like rose quartz or amethyst, but if you feel external cracks to the touch, do not use it. Contact us for a replacement.
-
Wash it with warm water and fragrance-free organic soap.
- Alternatively, you can use cotton with vodka or strong alcohol (not rubbing alcohol) and rinse it well.
- Another option is to submerge the egg in hot (not boiling) water for 12-15 minutes.
-
Perform an energy cleansing before using it:
- You can use sage smoke or palo santo, submerge it in water with purifying intention, or leave it in the moonlight overnight.
Wash the egg before and after each use, and perform an energy cleansing every 2-3 days if you use it frequently.
How to insert the Yoni egg?
- Before inserting it, you can carry it in your pocket or sleep with it under your pillow to familiarize yourself with its energy.
- Perform a gentle massage on the breasts and pelvic area to stimulate the flow of energy and relax the body.
- Use lubricant if needed. Organic extra virgin coconut oil is a recommended option due to its soothing and antibacterial properties.
- Place the egg upright, gently inserting the wider end. Let your muscles do the rest of the work.
How often should I use my Yoni egg?
You can experience benefits by using it 2 to 3 times a week for about 2 hours. As you become more comfortable, increase the usage time up to a maximum of 12 hours, always trusting your intuition and observing how your body reacts.
