It wasn't that long ago when Gwyneth Paltrow raved about the benefits of vaginal steaming, a non-scientifically proven process of sitting over a hot pot of water filled with herbs for up to 45 minutes to “cleanse your uterus” and “balance female hormone levels,” as the actress had put it.
Most recently, Paltrow's lifestyle website Goop, which promoted vaginal steaming, is at it again with another advice for women: putting a jade egg — yes, a solid object about the size of a golf ball — in your vagina, and keeping it there all day or while you're sleeping.
For $66 a piece, the jade eggs, once “the strictly guarded secret” of Chinese queens and concubines to please their emperors, would help boost your orgasm and “increase vaginal muscle tone, hormonal balance, and feminine energy in general,” reads the beginning of an article titled “Better Sex: Jade Eggs for Your Yoni.”

I have another family member who used to review claims for a health insurance company.
He came to the conclusion that sex was just about the most dangerous thing a person could possibly do.
E.O.P.
Jade is an iron and magnesium containing aluminosilicate, not far in chemical composition to asbestos and talc. Having such a substance in constant contact with mucous membranes can’t be good.
Yikes! With all those attorney ads on TV telling women that talc use might have caused their cervical cancer, this just took a real serious turn.
My late MIL was a gyn-ob, once remarked at the dinner table, “who knew potatoes could sprout there.”
It is a great play and Gwyneth really shone. I will have to see if the writer has other works.
Exactly!!! And people listen to these dolts when it comes to political views. Unbelievable. LOLOL.
The thread just keeps getting better & better.
How about Cadbury Crème Eggs? That would at least make some things more interesting.
Inspired by the punch line: "...and I don't want to mess with any guy who can eat that much ice cream."
She’s hot, I don’t care how stupid she is.
I sure hope using a dozen quail eggs is still ok!!
Great, now I can’t order steamed clams anymore.
But can that thing make steamed rice?
“That’s the attitude that makes Divorce Attorney a thriving occupation. “
I said she was stupid, not me. :)
I would like to see a demo before I decide...
Well, there is that wide mouth nozzle shown. The pointed end one would surely have appreciated by Purple Heart Jean Francois Kerry for the butt-tocks dimples inflicted by flying rice grains....
I forget who wrote it. When I was teaching acting, we often used scenes from it. Nice play. I’m not usually a fan of the bland Gwyneth but she’s right for the role.
Setting stage for infection? I’d be more worried about what STDs she might give that poor Jade egg.
