Exploring personal pleasure and healing with yoni eggs
As the founder of kvinneuniverset.no, I have a deep passion for teaching women to get in touch with their own bodies and pleasure. Through the yoni egg practice, women can strengthen their pelvic floor, release tension and blockages, and learn to love themselves without shame. For me, this journey has been a crucial part of my own healing, and it gives me immense joy to be able to share this practice with others.
My own journey began after many years of tension and pain that I could not find help for. After exploring yoni wands and yoni eggs, I discovered their power to release blockages and tension in the body, I finally felt free from the physical ailments that had been present for over seven years. It was a powerful experience that became a catalyst for my passion for women's health and inner transformation. This personal experience is why I started kvinneuniverset.no, and it is my goal to help others find themselves again through their own pleasure and self-care.
What is a yoni egg?
A yoni egg is a small crystal-shaped stone that can be placed inside the vagina to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, stimulate natural lubrication, and increase blood flow to the pelvic area. This tradition dates back to ancient China, where jade eggs were used by the queen and her court to keep the reproductive system healthy and awaken a deeper connection to one's own sexual energy.
How is a yoni egg used?
Using a yoni egg can be a simple but profound practice. The egg is inserted gently, and you can perform “kegel” exercises with the egg in place. An important part of the practice is giving yourself time and presence. Far too many women have experienced violations of their own boundaries or unwanted intimacy, so it is important to proceed calmly and ensure that your body is ready. At kvinneuniverset.no you will find advice and guidance that can support you on your way.

Is the yoni egg practice related to tantra?
Yoni eggs originate from Taoism in China. The egg was a secret practice that was only reserved for royal families, but yoni eggs also have a long tradition in tantra that allows women to connect with their feminine essence through their power center – the womb. When you are rooted in your body, you find a deep inner peace and can strengthen your connection with your true self. I recommend the book Tao Tantric Arts for Women by Minke De Vos for those who want to learn more about this connection between body and soul.
Are yoni eggs safe for everyone?
Yoni eggs are generally safe, but it is important to get the go-ahead from a doctor if you are pregnant or have pelvic conditions such as prolapse. Exercising with the egg prevents incontinence, and in some cases can reverse prolapse, depending on the stage of the prolapse. It is normal for it to take time to feel the effects of yoni eggs, but remember that consistency and patience are key – enjoy the journey and give your body the space to explore in its own way.
How do I know which size to choose?
In general, beginners are recommended to start with a medium egg. For women who have given birth vaginally several times, a larger egg may be easier to handle at first, while those with tension or a well-trained pelvic floor may benefit from a smaller egg.
How often should you use a Yoni egg?
We recommend using a Yoni egg three times a week for about 30 minutes to a few hours a day to get maximum effect.
Should all women use a Yoni egg?
The short answer is no. The Yoni Egg is designed for women who want to strengthen their connection to their body and sexuality, while also training their pelvic floor. However, it is not ideal for people with vaginas that:
- have a tense pelvic floor or suffer from tension
- have vaginismus
- are pregnant (some people choose to use it during pregnancy, but consult a doctor to be on the safe side)
- have a vaginal infection such as a yeast infection, urinary tract infection, or bacterial vaginosis
Can I use Yoni Egg during menstruation?
It is not recommended to use during menstruation for hygiene reasons. Menstruation is also a time for letting go, and in Chinese medicine it is said that you do not want to stop the flow of energy that is going out. Many women choose to let their bodies rest and focus on other self-care practices during these days. Listen to your body and do what feels right for you. If you still want to use the egg during menstruation, you can do this on day 3, for example when the bleeding is less.
Can the yoni egg get stuck or "lost"?
Remember that the vagina is a closed channel, and the egg can never disappear into the body. With a little careful crouching and calm breathing, the egg will always find its way back out. At kvinneuniverset.no, only yoni eggs with a string are sold, so that you can carefully pull the egg out with the string.
Can Yoni Eggs help balance hormones?
Yoni eggs can indirectly support hormonal balance by reducing stress, increasing circulation in the pelvic area and contributing to a deeper connection to your own body.
What are the emotional benefits of using a Yoni Egg?
Yoni egg practice can help release stored emotions and trauma in the pelvic area. Women often report a greater sense of security, self-love, and inner peace after regular practice. It can also help process emotional blockages and rebuild a connection to one's own sexuality.
Are Yoni Eggs made from safe materials?
Yoni eggs made from genuine, certified crystals are safe to use. The most common safe crystals for vaginal use include rose quartz, jade, amethyst, black obsidian, and clear quartz. Avoid fake or treated crystals, as they may contain harmful substances.
Can I use the Yoni Egg if I have had a vaginal birth recently?
Yes, yoni eggs can be very helpful after birth to strengthen the pelvic floor and help the body heal. It is recommended to wait 6 weeks after birth or until your doctor has given the go-ahead before starting yoni egg practice.
What other practices can I combine with the Yoni Egg?
You can combine yoni egg practice with breathing exercises, meditation, pelvic floor yoga, and various types of self-care to strengthen your connection to your own body. Massage, mirror work, and yoni-inspired meditation can also be powerful additions.
How do I use my Yoni egg?
Using the Yoni Egg is not complicated. There are mainly three ways to use the Yoni Egg:
-
A daily 15-minute "Yoni Egg Yoga" session – that is, doing squeezing exercises (pelvic floor exercises) in a series of movements. Here is an exercise:
SEXY CAT COW
Get down on all fours with your hands placed directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips. Inhale, lower your belly to the floor, lift your sit bones towards the ceiling, and open your chest. Exhale, round your back, pull your chin to your chest, and squeeze your vaginal muscles around your egg. Put on a sensual song, close your eyes, and practice this for 3 minutes. Breathe deeply, let out some sensual sounds, and feel alive and energized!
-
Insert the Yoni Egg and walk around the house! The weight of the egg combined with gravity creates resistance, which provides benefits for your pelvic floor muscles even if you don't do any crunches. Just make sure to wear underwear in case the egg falls out.
-
Meditation. Meditating with the Yoni Egg can be a beautiful and calming practice that allows you to create a deeper connection with your body.
How often should I use the Yoni egg?
We recommend using the Yoni Egg daily or at least three times a week to achieve optimal results.
What if I don't feel anything when I use a Yoni Egg?
It's perfectly normal to not feel much at first. Many people experience increased sensitivity over time, but the purpose of the practice is not necessarily to feel anything all the time. The egg acts as a weight that activates the pelvic floor muscles even if you don't notice it right away.
Can I have sex with the Yoni egg inside me?
Some Yoni egg users love using it during intercourse with their partner. It can increase sensitivity and stimulation, and even “fill out” if their partner’s penis is on the smaller side. Some customers also report that they notice the crystal energy enhancing their sexual experience.
Can Yoni Eggs help with sexual trauma?
Yes, the yoni egg can be a supportive practice for women who want to process sexual trauma. The egg can help bring more love, respect, and presence to your body, which can help release emotional blocks over time. It is important to proceed calmly and always listen to your body.
How to clean your Yoni egg
Proper cleaning of your Yoni egg is important to ensure safe and hygienic practice. Here are some simple steps for cleaning your Yoni egg:
-
Before use:
Before using the egg for the first time and between each use, it is important to clean it thoroughly. Rinse the egg in lukewarm water and mild, unscented soap. Rinse well to remove all soap residue. Reattach the egg string. -
Natural disinfection:
After washing, you can disinfect the egg naturally by placing it in a bowl of lukewarm water and adding a few drops of natural apple cider vinegar, or essential oils such as lavender. Leave the egg in the solution for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid boiling water, as it can damage or crack the crystal. Or use our yoni egg cleanser which you can buy here -
Energetic cleansing:
Because crystals absorb energy, you can also cleanse the egg on an energetic level. This can be done by placing the egg in sunlight or moonlight for a few hours, burying it in the ground for a short time, or placing it on a selenite plate to recharge the egg. This helps to reset the egg's energy before the next use. -
Storage:
Store the egg in a clean and dry place, preferably in a bag made of natural material, such as cotton or linen, to protect it from dust and environmental energies.
