No, Gwyneth Paltrow, women should not put jade eggs in their vaginas, gynecologist saysIt 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.From Yam Lube to steamed hoo-hoos, Paltrow seems obsessed with hers.
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.
Sounds a bit uncomfortable, but I'm not really one to judge.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.”
But a California gynecologist wasted no time letting Paltrow — and the rest of the world — know what she thinks of those jade eggs, which, according to the website, are already sold out.
For a mere $55 dollars, you can settle for a rose quartz egg.At this point, Gwen has said so many stupid things publicly, that I'm pretty sure she's just trolling. Or maybe she's selling used eggs for a premium. But if someone gets toxic shock syndrome from listening to her, do they get to sue?
Dr. Jen Gunter, an OB/GYN for Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco, called the idea “the biggest load of garbage” she's read on Goop since vaginal steaming and worse than saying wearing bras is linked to cancer.
Jade is porous, she said, so leaving the egg in one's vagina during sleep “could allow bacteria to get inside” and cause bacterial vaginosis or even Toxic Shock Syndrome, a life-threatening complication caused by bacterial infections.
“This is not good, in case you are wondering,” Gunter wrote.

Being a world-famous blogger many people often ask me what I do in my spare time. The answer? Read. Yes, when Manhattan Infidel isn’t posting for his audience he is usually hunched over a good book. And what is the book I am reading now? Gwyneth Paltrow’s Guide to Vaginal Care.
ReplyDeleteLike Gwyneth I am concerned about female reproductive health. I found this to be a fascinating read. I now present a few portions.
Like many of you I am very concerned about the health of my hoo-haw. Some of my earliest memories were of me squatting naked over a mirror while I said “Hello hoo-haw. Are you happy? Are you healthy? Can I talk to you? Would an egg fit inside you?” I once asked my consciously-uncoupled husband Chris Martin if he would take drugs to make his penis look like an egg. He refused. I don’t know why he wouldn’t want to intensify my feminine energy and life force. It seems to be that would be a no-brainer.
In fact it’s been medically proven that putting eggs up your hoo-haw is better for you than a penis. Unlike a penis, an egg will build vaginal reflexology and tighten vaginal walls. And I think if there is one thing we can all agree on is that nobody wants a leaky vaginal wall.
