However, the Yoni/jade egg practice is said to have originated in China over 2,000 years ago and was practiced by the emperor’s concubines to maintain a strong and healthy vagina. Ultimately, the practice is something one experiences and feels the benefits of on her own.

Having a supple, resilient, and toned pelvic floor is one of the most important factors in being able to experience vaginal orgasms.

In my experience, the most commonly used Yoni egg size is Medium. Stage One - Medium/Large Yoni Egg: We recommend starting with a medium or large yoni egg. Medium and large Yoni eggs are the best option for strengthening the pelvic floor because of their weight and size. Stage Two- Small : We recommend working your way into a small. However, there are many women who happily continue their practice with a size medium Yoni egg. When it comes to Yoni/jade eggs, listen to your own inner-intuition and choose what feels right for you!

This is a personal preference and there's no right or wrong answer! The reason for the drilled hole is so a string can be attached to the Yoni egg for easy removal (think removing a tampon). Majority of women new to the Yoni egg practice are afraid the egg will get stuck, but rest assured that can not happen. With the natural weight of the egg, it will find its way out, especially when you have relaxed your muscles and give a little push. In the beginning you may prefer some assistance of the string as you get to know your Yoni egg and sacred space, but a simple push is all you really need…and maybe the assistance of your fingers.

If you're pregnant: Your OB/GYN and/or birthing coach should to be consulted and their advise considered seriously.

Intuition goes a really long way with this one, and if you still have concerns, then speak directly to your doctor.
