How often should I clean my yoni egg?

You should clean your yoni egg both before and after every use. Additionally, give it a thorough cleanse at least once a month even if it hasn't been used. Proper cleaning prevents bacterial buildup and is essential for safe practice.

Can I boil my yoni egg to sterilise it?

It depends on the stone. Jade and obsidian can generally tolerate brief boiling (2–3 minutes). However, rose quartz, amethyst, and tiger's eye may crack or lose colour under extreme heat. The safest method for all stones is cleaning with mild soap and warm water, followed by a rinse with diluted white vinegar.

What soap should I use to clean my yoni egg?

Always use a mild, unscented, pH-neutral soap. Avoid antibacterial soaps, bleach, or harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the stone's surface. A simple castile soap or gentle baby wash is ideal.
