There was the time she suggested we all steam our vaginas (“It is an energetic release,” she maintained), and when she created recipes calling for ingredients such as “Sex Dust” to name but two.
However the latest nugget of wisdom from Paltrow is that we should in fact all be putting eggs up our vaginas.
No, not the type of eggs our bodies actually produce, but rather stone eggs, made from rose quartz or jade. Of course.
If the reason for doing so isn’t immediately obvious - you mean you haven't ever thought about popping an egg into your genitalia? - Paltrow explains the point of the eggs in her website Goop’s latest newsletter (although apparently it makes “intuitive sense”):
“The strictly guarded secret of Chinese royalty in antiquity - queens and concubines used them to stay in shape for emperors - jade eggs harness the power of energy work, crystal healing and a Kegel-like physical practice.
“Fans say regular use increases chi, orgasms, vaginal muscle tone, hormonal balance, and feminine energy in general.”
So there you go.
The newsletter interviews Irananian-American actress and blogger Shiva Rose, who has been “practicing” with the eggs for seven years and raves about the results. “We tried them, too, and were so convinced we put them into the Goop shop.”
According to Goop, popping the jade egg into your vajayjay will help get rid of negative energy. Right.
And then there’s the rose quartz egg, which is apparently a step-up from the jade one and ideal for those of us who “want to take [our] practice a step further.”
“Sadly most people use [their womb] as a psychic trash bin, storing old or negative energy,” says Rose. “I see it as a place to celebrate ourselves as sexual, powerful beings, or as mothers, not a place to carry negative or un-dealt-with emotions.”
Some women allegedly sleep with their egg in, but for others the power from keeping it in that long is too strong.
The eggs can make you more attractive too: “I sometimes feel people are more attracted to you when you’re carrying a jade egg,” Rose Says.
