Laying the stones just like an egg
Cherie Wallace is a devotee of the eggs, saying they've improved her sex life
Cherie Wallace, a full-time carer and mum-of-four from Wolverhampton, first tried out yoni eggs two years ago, after becoming interested in New Age practises more generally.
The 31-year-old now has eight different crystal sets of three, costing £300 in total, and also runs an online store where she sells them.
"The first ones I tried were rose quartz, which is a mild, loving stone supposed to open the energy centres in your heart," says Cherie, who wears yoni eggs every other day.
"You start off with a large stone, and as your vagina gets used to it and your pelvic floor gets tighter, you can eventually train yourself to wear smaller ones.
"They are easy to insert and don't hurt - at first they can be a bit cold but you can warm them in your palm and you get used to them. You feel a tampon more."

While most of the eggs have strings that allow you to take them out more easily, more experienced users such as Cherie can use ones without these - but they're harder to remove.
"To get them out you have to 'push' them out by straining - it's a bit like doing a poo but from your front," she says.
Before using them, Cherie burns sage in order to 'cleanse' her eggs from negative energy, and also washes them with warm, soapy water.
"I also check for any cracks, as bacteria can go into them, putting you more at risk from infections. I always buy my eggs from places that have a certificate guaranteeing that they are made from real, smooth crystal."
Experts warn against the use of the eggs
Tania Adib, Consultant Gynaecologist at the Lister Hospital in Chelsea, says she wouldn't recommend that women use the yoni eggs, for the following reasons:
"If you're putting objects inside the vagina they need to be properly cleaned, as otherwise you can run the risk of getting bacterial infections.
"There's also a possibility the eggs could get stuck inside you, leading to the possibility of lacerations, aka deep cuts, in the skin of the vagina: these can be painful and again cause infections. Women who have gone through the menopause are particularly at risk, as your vaginal walls get thinner during this time.
"Using the yoni egg for several hours can cause your pelvic floor to spasm and contract, leading to pain in the pelvic area.
"I'd advise women to do kegel exercises instead, as these are scientifically proven to be safe and there are many research studies pointing to their effectiveness in training the pelvic floor.
"It's true that when women are stressed it can affect their hormones, however there's no evidence to say that using yoni eggs make women feel calmer - trying out yoga or meditation for relaxation is safer."
I use eggs while I have sex
Cherie says that she 'wears' the eggs while having sex with her husband around once a week, and says they have made her feel more *****.
"The red Jasper stone is the best for sex, as it is believed to be able to raise your sexual energy," Cherie says.
"I've noticed a rise in my libido, and whenever I use them I find I have better and more intense orgasms.
"My husband can't feel the egg when he's inside me, and he loves it as it makes sex more pleasurable and exciting. It's a really great thing to do as part of experimenting with each other as a couple."
She also masturbates with specialist wands designed from the same stones as her yoni eggs - and says they give her the same effects.

Kirsty said one of the reasons she tried the eggs in the first place was that she feared the quantity and quality of her orgasms would start to decline if she didn't keep her vagina toned.
Just two weeks after trying the eggs for the first time, Kirsty said she had more intense orgasms and more 'control' with her vagina.
"My husband says sex has never been better," she says. "I feel like a teenager again: who needs a designer vagina when you can exercise your way to better sexual health?"
The eggs gave me a very quick labour
Cherie had her fourth child in August, and while she didn't use the eggs during the first trimester as she wanted to be careful, she did in the last six months - and credits them with giving her an easier labour than normal.
"My labour only lasted two hours, and I didn't need any stitches," she says.
"My three others were harder and I needed stitches after - the only thing I've done differently is using the eggs."

But while Cherie can't say exactly how it's worked, she believes using yoni eggs have changed her vagina for the better.
"Despite the fact I've had four kids, I can hold in my wee for ages and have excellent bladder control - my doctors are so surprised. My cervical examinations have also all been completely clear."
Kirsty feels that the eggs have worked in the same way for her - and as well as improving her pelvic floor, she says she now has super strong bottom muscles and upper thighs and a tighter, flatter stomach.
She says: "I think it’s important we talk about how the eggs work and more importantly what they can help a person do."
