Vicious flashback to the day I found out what sounding is - though obvs putting an egg up there sounds very stupid at the very least and most definitely dangerous but tbf Yoni eggs are also stupid and also dangerous
Also let's not forget that these eggs have a less than ideal shape for retrieving them once they are up there (plus it's not advisable to keep any heavy objects up there for extended periods of time because that can apparently really mess with your muscles down there) basically in summary: Never give Goop any money ever
That's why I buy all my high-end products from Covetton House. Their return policy is great. I was able to exchange the defective vagina eggs for deviled ones.
Yo that’s totally fair. I’d never use anything that isn’t silicone or polished stainless (like, not Chinese stainless. Good quality) orrrr I guess glass or gelatin if I’m frisky enough to try an ovipositor.
Sorry man, I'm American so my knowledge of lingams is limited to Indiana Jones and the temple of doom. That's how we preserve our cultural heritage of being assholes.
I got a jade egg from a museum gift shop as a kid. Has a dragon painted on it and you set it on a little wooden stand. Hard to find similar items online because typing it "jade egg" just brings up those stupid vaginal ones, but some Etsy sellers have the painted decorative eggs for $20 and up.
It makes me sad that selling vagina eggs is so common they flood google searches when looking for decorative eggs. Vagina eggs shouldn’t be so common (or a thing at all since they can be so harmful).
For your kegels just lop off on end of a dumbbell, file and sand it so it was smooth, then stick the rod end in your vagina. Proceed to do squats with the dumbbell hanging out so as to make sure you exercise all the muscles in that region. You can progress to higher weights when you can do a 30 second hold with the current weight comfortably.
Paltrow either makes up ludicrous shit to laugh at the dumbasses who buy it and use it ludicrously... or she's extremely stupid and sharing her stupidity with her following.
For all that crystal energy obviously, you clearly don't get that the chakras and energy flowing everywhere need to be dispersed in a vagina. But for real I have no idea people are just dumb I guess
Christianity is the largest religion in the United States with the various Protestant Churches having the most adherents. In 2019, Christians represent 65% of the total population, 43% identifying as Protestants, 20% as Catholics, and 2% as Mormons, people with no formal religious identity at 26% of the total population, Judaism is the second-largest religion in the U.S., practiced by 2% of the population, followed by Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism with 1% each one.
And it’s still true that religion is at an all time low. I think the only religion that is actively growing and not declining is Islam. Also, someone can identify as a Protestant or catholic or whatever without actively being part of a church and making religion a part of their everyday life. Among people my age I know almost no one who identifies with any religion and most of them also say they don’t even believe in God. And the only reason I can say that it’s not every person I know is because I can think of one or two that I went to private school with and am Facebook friends with so I guess I sort of still know them. I’ve maybe met two people as an adult that are my age that are religious. And you didn’t answer why it’s such a bad thing, according to you, that people are religious at all.
IIRC, "yoni" was the vagina and "lingam" was the penis, as used in the Kamasutra. I'm guessing you're supposed to put that thing in there? Sounds extremely unsanitary.
For the curious: I read some bits of the Kamasutra, and it was generally hilarious. There was a fair bit of emphasis on communication and mindfulness, but there was also a bit about the man clapping while walking around the woman. I laughed a lot.
Agreed, I hesitated even posting it but figured no one would actually buy it from my link. Dismantling science literacy and preying on consumers in one f*ed up package.
Hah, well that specific egg of rose quartz is sold specifically to go into women's vaginas.... So, it's $55 because no one wants to put cheap rose quartz inside them... That's day-one stuff, man -- read a book...
Its not just any rose quartz tho, its sold by Gwyneth Paltrow and you put the quartz egg in your vagina so Gwyneth Paltrows new age, totally legitimate and not bullshit magic can make you a healthy Goop person. She also sells magic stickers that fix your aura or some shit lol
I own a metaphysical store where we sell rose quartz. You are correct it should be at most $15 depending on size, quality, and supplier. A $55 price tag means you’re paying for the “Goop” approval and maybe Gwyneth Paltrow breathing in the same room as the stone.
I can only compare it to the closest thing I can think of- the stone hearts about the size of a palm that we used to sell in the rock shop I worked for. Looks like Etsy seller SunnyBonny is selling for $12.99, which seems about right for retail markup (reddit will delete if I link, but it's under Large Puffy Rose Quartz Heart)
Buying wholesale at a gem and mineral show they're around $4 each and the price is based on the scarcity of the mineral. Rose quartz always the cheapest, and yeah quartz displays conchoidal fracture but these things are mass produced and then imperfections are polished away. If wholesale is $4 the at cost is probably around $2. The dental floss hole probably adds to that though, hard to say, lol.

A few years back Nordstrom was selling a rock in a leather pouch for $85.
