FAQs

What Are Crystal Eggs?

Crystal eggs — also known as yoni eggs (yoni, Sanskrit for "womb" or "sacred space") — are smooth, egg-shaped stones designed for internal use. They serve as elegant tools for strengthening the pelvic floor, enhancing body awareness, and cultivating a meditative self-care practice. Much like ben wa balls, they support the toning and relaxation of pelvic floor muscles, promoting physical balance and energetic alignment.

Historically, jade eggs were revered in ancient Taoist and tantric practices. Elite courtesans and concubines of emperors used them not only for pelvic vitality but as instruments of refined sensual mastery.

Which Size Should I Choose?

Size selection depends on your comfort level and experience.

For Crystal Wands
If you're new to internal toys, we suggest beginning with a slender wand for a more targeted and accessible introduction. Thinner designs offer precision, making them ideal for tension release and localized stimulation. Thicker wands, by contrast, create a more expansive sensation and are better suited for those who prefer a fuller experience.

For Crystal Eggs
We recommend starting with a medium or large egg. These sizes are easier to sense and engage with, especially for beginners or those concerned about the egg slipping out. Larger sizes also help encourage deep pelvic floor relaxation — essential for individuals who carry chronic tension in this area.

Smaller eggs are best for those already experienced and looking to refine their pelvic muscle isolation and strengthening techniques.

Which Crystal Should I Begin With?

We encourage you to follow your intuition — the crystal you’re naturally drawn to is often the one best aligned with your current energetic needs. Each crystal's metaphysical properties are detailed in our product descriptions and on our [Crystal Guide page].

Please note: if you’re prone to yeast infections, you may wish to ease into using obsidian. While deeply transformative and protective, it may energetically stir internal shifts that, in sensitive individuals, can present as mild physical imbalances when first introduced.

How Do I Use My Crystal Egg or Wand?

Begin by cleansing your crystal — full instructions are provided with your purchase and also available below.

Set the tone for your ritual: dim the lights, light a candle, play calming music, and take a few moments to connect with your intention. Apply a body-safe lubricant or nourishing oil, and gently massage the outer pelvic area to awaken your tissues. Using mindful breath, bring the crystal to the entrance of the vagina.

Check in with your body — ask yourself: “Is this a yes?” If so, gently insert the crystal and allow your body to lead the experience. This practice is best approached as an intimate act of self-connection rather than a goal-oriented task.

How Long Can I Keep the Egg In?

Your pelvic floor is a dynamic system that works continuously throughout your day. For most, we recommend using the egg for 15 to 35 minutes, especially during self-care or movement practices. If using passively (e.g., during light activity), limit use to a maximum of 2–4 hours. We do not recommend wearing the egg longer than 8 hours, as overuse may cause unnecessary strain to the muscles.

Will the Egg Fall Out While I Use the Restroom?

It’s possible. If your egg is drilled and threaded with a string, gently hold the string while urinating to prevent it from falling into the toilet.

If your egg is undrilled, we recommend tuning into your pelvic floor muscles and being mindful of any sensation of slipping. Always remove your egg before a bowel movement for safety and hygiene.

How Do I Remove the Egg?

To remove your egg, relax your body and breathe deeply. If your egg has a string, gently tug while giving your pelvic floor a light push. You may find a squatting position or knees-bent posture helpful. If your egg is undrilled, use the same technique, with a hand ready to catch the egg as it exits naturally.

I Dropped My Egg — Is It Still Safe to Use?

If the egg has only a minor chip with no sharp edges, it may still be usable. Carefully run your fingers over the surface to check. However, deep chips or cracks can harbor bacteria and may pose a risk, especially for those sensitive to infections. When in doubt, we recommend replacing the crystal.

Please note, that rose quartz crystal can be more prone to breaking because of it’s natural crystal hardness ratio comparivetly to other crystals.

Can I Boil My Crystal Egg to Clean It?

No — never boil your egg or place it in the microwave, as this may damage the integrity of the stone.

Instead, cleanse your crystal by placing it in a non-plastic bowl and slowly pouring hot water over it until submerged. Soak for 20 minutes. For added antimicrobial benefits, you may add 1-3 drops of essential oils such as lavender, sage, or tea tree — but always patch-test on your skin before using oils near intimate areas.

How Should I Care for My Crystal?

Follow the care guide provided with your purchase for optimal maintenance. If you’ve misplaced it, you can access detailed instructions [here].

Regular cleansing (both physically and energetically) will keep your crystal safe and energetically clear.

What Are the Benefits of Using Crystal Eggs and Wands?

Crystals are eco-conscious tools with unique energetic signatures. Just as walking through a forest or sitting near the ocean alters your internal state, using crystals in intimate self-care provides a subtle yet powerful resonance with the Earth.

Beyond physical benefits — such as pelvic floor toning, tension release, and heightened sensitivity — these tools encourage you to slow down, tune in, and reconnect to the sensations you feel moment to moment within your body and on an energetic level.

Can I Use a Crystal Egg for Anal Stimulation?

We do not recommend using crystal eggs for anal play. Unlike anal-specific toys, crystal eggs are not designed with safety features to prevent full insertion, which could lead to serious complications. Even drilled eggs with strings are not appropriate for anal use. For anal pleasure, always use toys specifically designed for that purpose.

What’s the Difference Between Crystal Toys and Silicone-Based Toys?

Crystal toys offer a grounding, meditative alternative to conventional silicone toys. Each crystal carries natural energetic properties that enhance emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. While silicone toys are functional and versatile, crystal tools invite intention, sensuality, and ceremony into your pleasure practice — making each moment a luxurious and transformative experience.
