Here are some essential tips for making sure you are taking good care of your yoni egg and using it as safely as possible.
- If in doubt, throw it out – throw out your yoni egg if it is cracked, chipped, or damaged.

- Don’t overtain – there is no need to leave your yoni egg overnight or for extended periods. You can see positive results in just 15 to 30 minutes of daily use.
How To Clean A Yoni Egg
Since yoni eggs are often made from crystals, the material can be porous. Translation? Bacteria can hide on the surface, making it crucial to always clean a yoni egg thoroughly after each use.
Boiling the yoni egg after use is a popular cleaning option (check with the manufacturer to be sure the crystal can withstand the intense heat).
Others use organic soap to clean yoni eggs. If the yoni egg has a hole in it, a small amount of food-grade hydrogen peroxide may make a good soak for it. You can also ask the manufacturer or seller for tips on how to clean and use your yoni egg properly.
By keeping your yoni egg properly cleaned and sterilised, you can ensure your yoni egg will maintain its quality and that you are protecting your sacred yoni.
Should You Wear A Yoni Egg Overnight?
While some yoni egg users do choose to sleep with it, the majority of medical professionals advise against it. As with any foreign object inserted into the vagina, it can accumulate bacteria if it is not removed and cleaned regularly.
Can Yoni Eggs Get Stuck Inside You?
No, yoni eggs cannot get stuck inside you. However, they can be tricky to remove, especially if you are new to using yoni eggs.
Always remember that yoni eggs are purposely made to be larger than your cervix to prevent them from going in too far.
If you are having difficulty removing your yoni egg or are worried about it getting lost in you, many yoni eggs include an option for a string for easy removal. Be aware that eggs with holes in will require more care when cleaning.
Can Yoni Eggs Cause Infections?
If a yoni egg is not properly cleaned or left in too long, there is a chance it could cause an infection. This is why it is imperative to clean your yoni egg thoroughly after each use, store it properly, and listen to your body regarding usage times.
