What is a Yoni Egg and How Do You Use It?

More and more people with a vulva are discovering the benefits of using yoni eggs for their well-being. But what exactly are yoni eggs, and how do you use them properly? In this blog, we will take you step by step through what a yoni egg is, who it is suitable for, and how to use it safely.

What is a Yoni Egg?

A yoni egg is a small, oval-shaped egg made from a natural gemstone such as rose quartz, selenite, amethyst, white quartz, or carnelian. The word "yoni" comes from Sanskrit and refers to the female sexual organ, but is more widely seen as a symbol of female power and energy. The yoni egg has been used for centuries in Eastern cultures to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, increase body awareness, and stimulate sexual energy.

Who is a Yoni Egg for?

A yoni egg may be suitable for people with a vulva that:

• Want to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles: this can help improve bladder control and increase sexual sensitivity, for example.
• Interested in spiritual and holistic wellness practices: The yoni egg can help create a deeper connection with the body and release stored tension.
• Want to increase their body awareness: using a yoni egg can contribute to a better body feeling and a more conscious contact with one's own sexuality.

However, it is important that using a yoni egg feels comfortable. If you suffer from pelvic floor problems, consider consulting a specialist first.

How do you use a Yoni egg?

Using a yoni egg is simple, but it takes some practice and patience to master the right techniques. At LieLei we offer yoni eggs with and without a string . We explain which one to use and when.

Step 1: Prepare and clean

Always start by cleaning your yoni egg to ensure hygiene. Rinse the egg with warm water and rinse thoroughly. Do this before and after each use. You can also place the egg in hot water for a few minutes, but be careful not to use boiling water, as this can damage the material.

Step 2: Relax and prepare your body

Take some time to relax. This can be done with some breathing exercises, meditation or gentle yoga poses. It is important that your body is relaxed before you begin.

Step 3: Inserting the Yoni Egg

Gently insert the yoni egg. Make sure the pointy part is pointing downwards, especially for eggs without a string, as this makes it easier to remove. For eggs with a string, you can simply use the string to carefully remove the egg after use. Only use a yoni egg without a string if you have practiced with a yoni egg with a string and it feels comfortable enough.

Tips for insertion:

• Sit or lie down in a comfortable position.
• Insert the egg slowly and breathe calmly. If it doesn't feel comfortable, don't force it and try again later.
• When using a yoni egg without a string (we'll repeat this one more time): make sure you have some practice in relaxing the pelvic floor, so that you know how to 'let go' of the egg after use.

Step 4: Exercises and awareness

Once inserted, you can do simple pelvic floor exercises such as squeeze and release. Start with a few minutes at a time and gradually build up to about 15-20 minutes. Always listen to your body and only do what feels good. You don’t have to hold the egg in for hours; a few minutes of deliberate practice is often enough to notice results.

Step 5: Remove and clean

After use, you can remove the yoni egg. For an egg with a string, gently pull on it. For an egg without a string, sit in a relaxed position and gently relax your pelvic floor to let the egg sink.

Clean your yoni egg thoroughly with water after each use and store it in a clean and dry place. Replace the string after regular use.

Tips for Safe Use

• Do not use a yoni egg if you have any infection or irritation.
• Build up the duration of use gradually and listen to your body.
• Always clean your yoni egg thoroughly, before and after use.
