Yoni Egg Benefits & How to Use Them

Yoni eggs are one of the most powerful tools to awaken your sexual potential and strengthen the pelvic floor.

The yoni egg practice is an ancient Taoist practice that has been used by women for centuries to connect to their divine feminine essence.

In short, a yoni egg is a polished egg-shaped crystal that is designed to be inserted into your vagina.

In this article, we’ll explore how the yoni egg practice awakens the vagina on every level and why it has been treasured by women for centuries.

Before You Begin: A Word of Caution

There are a lot of ideas out there about how to properly use a yoni egg to improve sexual health . Some women will simply wear their egg throughout the day, exercise with it in, or even sleep in it.

While some women find that this helps them to bring awareness to their vagina, and/or they want to absorb the healing properties of the crystal into their yoni...

Wearing the egg continuously for long periods of time, or not emphasizing the necessary relaxation intervals when using your yoni egg can contribute to unwanted tension in the vagina.

I also do NOT advise simply wearing your egg throughout the day as it does not involve the TWO MOST IMPORTANT aspects of the yoni egg practice.

Benefits of Using Yoni/Jade Eggs

Ignite the Power of Your Vagina and Sexual Energy

The Jade Yoni Egg practice is one of the most healing and powerful practices you can do to truly ignite the magic and the power of your vagina and your sexual energy as a woman. From the very first sessions, you will begin immensely strengthening your pelvic floor and activating parts of your body that may have felt dormant or weak.

Developing a More Articulate and Sentient Vagina

With this practice, your awareness inside becomes much more refined. You can feel, engage, and notice different areas within your vagina, places that may not have felt alive or connected before. Over time, this internal sensitivity grows, and your vagina becomes capable of expressing itself in ways you may never have imagined, giving you both greater strength and greater awareness.

Increasing Your Creative Life Force Energy

One of the most powerful shifts you’ll notice is how much this practice revs up your creative life force energy. Sexual energy and life force are one and the same. As you work with the egg, that energy multiplies, giving you more vitality for both your intimate life and your wider life goals.

Healing Tightness, Tension, and Vaginal Dryness

If you have a lot of tightness or tension in your vagina, and your goal is to really relax and heal, then the yoni egg practice can be used for that as well. This is because it involves a conscious relaxation interval when done properly, which is what I teach. This interval allows your vagina to unwind, release, and let go of pain or gripping that may have built up over years. The practice also boosts circulation to your vaginal tissue, and that circulation naturally brings more lubrication.

Intensifying Orgasms and Deepening Sensitivity

Another gift of this practice is how it increases your pleasure and sensitivity. As your awareness grows, the orgasms you experience will intensify, becoming more full-bodied and powerful. And beyond clitoral stimulation, you’ll start improving your ability to experience deep internal vaginal orgasms, like cervical, G-spot, or blended, even if you’ve never had them before. The practice reawakens your body’s natural pathways for pleasure and makes them available to you in new ways.

Awakening Intuition Through Your Womb

One of my very favorite benefits of this practice is how it will improve your intuitive abilities. Our vagina and womb, as women, are intuitive power sources. Yet because so many women are dissociated or cut off from that part of themselves, there’s little acknowledgement of how powerful these centers truly are. When you start bringing awareness to your vagina through the egg practice, you start to hear her messages more clearly. Many women find their inner voice becoming stronger and more certain through the awareness that comes with this practice.

How To Use Yoni Eggs For Their Physical Benefits

1. Intention:

When you set aside specific time (you only need 10-15 min!) to do your yoni egg practice, this devoted attention and INTENTION will hugely amplify the results you experience. Where intention goes, energy flows!

You will experience far more noticeable benefits from using your yoni egg when you dedicate time to FOCUS on the practice, bringing your full awareness to your vagina & pelvic region.

2. Resistance:

The reason I only sell drilled yoni eggs is so that you can thread string through them, and pull on the string to create RESISTANCE as you engage your muscles around the egg. The resistance amplifies the effects of this practice in the same way that lifting weights is a lot more effective for creating awareness and strength than simply moving a body part around.

There is an entire technique for this practice that involves breath and different areas of the vagina - which I teach about more in-depth in Viva La Vagina™.

Tips for Using Your Yoni Egg

• Feel for the right size. If the egg feels like it’s slipping straight out, it’s too small for where your pelvic floor is today. If it feels heavy or creates pressure, it’s too large. The “just right” size is the one your vagina can actually sense and “catch” without straining.

• Choose drilled for peace of mind. Especially in the beginning, having a string threaded through your egg lets your nervous system relax. You’ll focus on the sensations in your vaginal canal instead of worrying about removal.

• Lie down to learn your muscles. On your back, you’ll notice how your vaginal wall responds without fighting gravity. You can experiment with small squeezes, gentle lifts, and full releases before you try standing practice.

• Breathe your vagina open and closed. On the inhale, imagine your vaginal tissue melting, softening, and releasing. On the exhale, gently “hug” the egg and feel your pelvic floor lift. The rhythm of breath is what turns the practice into deep healing instead of just clenching.

• Keep it short and focused. Ten to fifteen minutes is enough. More time doesn’t mean more benefit, in fact, long sessions or wearing your egg overnight can create unnecessary gripping and fatigue in the vaginal muscles.

• Balance strength with softness. True pelvic floor strength means knowing how to let go fully after each squeeze. The release is what rewires your body out of tension and into sensitivity.

• Track how your body changes. With regular practice, you’ll feel more tone, more circulation, and more awareness inside your vagina. If anything feels sharp, numb, or heavy, that’s your cue to adjust the size of your egg or pause until your body is ready.

FAQ

• How long do you leave a yoni egg in?

  For the best physical benefits, a yoni egg should only be gently inserted for a short, focused practice of 10–15 minutes. This allows your pelvic floor muscles to engage and relax in healthy intervals. Leaving the jade egg in for an extended period or sleeping with it can create unwanted vaginal tension. Think of it like pelvic floor training at the gym, you strengthen and release, rather than holding all day.

• What is the difference between Kegel balls and yoni eggs?

  Kegel balls are typically weighted sex toys designed for pelvic floor exercises. Yoni eggs, by contrast, are egg-shaped stones made of crystals such as Jade or Rose Quartz. Yoni eggs are rooted in an ancient Chinese practice and carry both physical and energetic properties. They support pelvic floor strengthening and bladder control, and also awaken feminine energy, blood flow, and sexual vitality. Many women choose jade eggs or rose quartz yoni eggs for their emotional healing and deeper connection to the womb space.

• Why does my yoni egg fall out?

  If your egg slips out, it usually means your pelvic floor muscles are weak or fatigued. This is common at the beginning of practice, especially after childbirth or pelvic floor dysfunction. A pelvic floor physical therapist would say this is a sign your vaginal muscles are still building tone. Start with a larger egg, practice regularly, and over time your pelvic floor strength will increase, allowing you to hold the egg comfortably within the vaginal canal.

• Are eggs good for the pelvic floor?

  Yes. Yoni eggs are one of the most effective tools to strengthen your pelvic floor when used correctly. With proper jade egg insertion, breathing, and resistance exercises, you build pelvic floor strength that supports bladder control, reproductive health, and sexual pleasure. Many women notice improved vaginal tissue circulation, reduced PMS symptoms, and more sensitivity in the vaginal wall. The yoni egg practice is both a physical and energetic training, combining pelvic floor exercises with healing energy.
