What are jade eggs? Controversial Gwyneth Paltrow-approved aids you put ‘down there’ to ‘improve your sex life’ (but doctors warn they could get stuck)
The eggs, priced at around £50 each, are claimed by Goop to give women numerous health benefits, but is it a load of goop?
GWYNETH Paltrow has come under fire selling controversial jade eggs for your vagina on her website Goop.
The eggs, priced at around £50 each, are claimed by the site to give women numerous health benefits, but is it all a load of goop?
What are jade eggs?
Jade eggs are stones that are sold for women to put inside their vaginas with the aim of improving women's health.
When the egg-shaped stones were first launched on Gwyneth Paltrow’s website Goop in 2017, they sold out immediately.
It has been claimed by Goop that the eggs can balance hormones, regulate menstrual cycles, prevent uterine prolapse, and increase bladder control.
The egg trend, according to Goop, is said to come from an ancient Chinese tradition for queens and concubines to use them to ensure they stayed in optimal sexual shape.
The company has now been forced to pay a $145,000 (£112,000) settlement to settle allegations that it had made unscientific claims about the health benefits of its infamous vaginal eggs.
Goop agreed to refund customers who had bought the eggs from January to August last year and will remove any unproven claims about the health benefits of the products.
Dr Jarvis said: “There is no scientific evidence whatsoever that stones or crystals, whether held in your hand or inserted into your vagina, have any health benefits whatsoever.
“There are many factors that affect your female hormones and hormones can definitely affect your level of wellbeing and sexual ‘energy’.
“However, stone or crystal in any form, whether jade or otherwise, most definitely is not one of those factors.
“This is not good, in case you were wondering. It could be a risk factor for bacterial vaginosis or even the potentially deadly toxic shock syndrome.”
Gwyneth Paltrow previously revealed the real reason she kept ex-husband Chris’ name two years their split.
The Iron Man actress also ‘endorses cannabis products’ as Goop embraces the legalisation of marijuana in California.
She also looked incredible in an orange bikini as she soaks up the sun in Capri this summer.
